Is anyone like me having trouble getting the go pro of the surfboard mount after a session?? cause after i use my camera i find it almost impossible to remove it from the surfboard mount i squeeze and squeeze the black attachment i put dishwashing liquid soap etc I've tried everything i can think of but the black base mount wont slide out from the white surfboard mount so i end up unscrewing the camera from the black base mount and leaving the black base attached to the white surfboard mount does anyone have some ideas.

Is it that clip in style? If so are you pushing in the 2 sides of the clip/mount?

yep had the same issue, it worked fine for the first 3 or 4 goes, now its stuck and i cant figure out a way to get the damn thing loose. without breaking the mount of course.

Make sure there is NO sand on/in/around the mount when you slide the clip in. If there is, you'll find it very difficult to slide back out. You can try wiggling the camera back and forth while pinching the clip. This usually works for me.

Also, make sure you get a WamBam case for it!

Probably a stupid question but, are you removing the white plastic thingy that stops the plastic clips from being pushed together?

I have never had a problem with mine.
