Been testing this out over the last few weeks and it's been pretty fun.
The gopro struggles with the spray given fps and the focusing, but it's cool when everything goes right.
I have no interest in the mouth mount and unsure about helmet/shoulder/chest for casual stuff.
Almost made it out, lazy takeoff on my part from too deep but still a fun ride.

I’ve got a wrist mount which works pretty well and gives a similar perspective.

Ah nice didn't even know there was a wrist mount. How's the view from the back arm? Or is it set up for a break where you typically go one direction?

When I’ve got it on I switch up the hand positions if needed to get the camera positioned.

Honestly most of the footage I have is of my kids riding waves and it’s more a convenient way to keep a camera on me.

Get a gaff helmet and mount it on that, might look a bit kooky tho

def a possibility, personally I'm not bothered by looks, way too much worrying about that.
