This is one I tried out on the weekend, Suction Cup mount at the rear of my board.

What has everyone else tried?

Here is a couple using the chest strap /harness. Works really well, although I dont know how secure it would be in bigger surf.

Hi guys..love the footage. I have just started using my Go-Pro on my SUP. This grab angle is from the nose using one of the stick on mounts that came with the camera (in very small waves).. I taped a bit of foam onto the camera housing in case it comes off..a bit risky but 'stoked' with the results. I tried the chest mount but maybe a bit too much movement in the footage, I also wore it head mounted but it makes the waves look really small.

anyway..all the best, great fun playing around with these gadgets. Enjoy! Nick

Hey Chris,

Lou used the suction cap mount on the back of his m14 on a downwind run from Voodoo to port hacking was a great angle! Also helped prove that there was a shark hanging out with us on the run!

here is back pack mounted -

You can see the backpack in some of the shots - getting the angle right is tricky

Its not an option if you are going to fall off in surf

Thats great, love the pics with the go pro, always exciting when you load them up and hope for the best. Do you have any footage of the shark?

I am yet to see any footage of the alleged Shark. I keep asking Lou and Pete to put it up. I think they wanted a rest that day......Come on Lou, is this enough bait?

The sharks a myth........no bait to take...........no pics therefore it didnt happen

I have an nsp sup with the rubber deck fully covering the top of the board. I had planned to use the surfboard mount but im guessing it won't work on the rubber deck.
I'd welcome suggestions of how I can mount the go pro camera on this board.
Cheers

I've got an NSP too, I put the mounts on a Perspex base which follows the contours of the nose then gaffa tape it to the board
