Kelly Slater was using one of these accessories during the Tahiti Pro. He actually grabbed one from the boat in the channl then proceeded to record huge barrels
Footage would look cool, but I would hate to face plant with that in your mouth. Imagine the number of SUP's you could buy with the orthodontic bill.
I ended up with one by mistake in April. I had a Cam mounted on my board aiming out, from the nose... I fell off and broke the mount off the board with my knee. The waves where good, and I didn't want to go in... so I stuffed the "floaty backdoor" in my mouth.
It actually works great, easy to breath... very secure, no problem during a wipeout... I tied the tether to my wetsuit zipper pull as a backup to the floaty.
It takes great movies from that vantage.
Really isn't a bother at all. I still use it that way from time to time... less trouble than the headmount... great angle and aiming towards other surfers.
You can see the deck mount is still intact... it actually took the paint right off the board
Wow, just when you think you've seen everything..
Wouldn't a helmet mounted cam be a bit more sensible?
shot a bit of footage on mine yesterday while out on the longboard, it goes alright, the only downside is if you fall off water comes straight in through the breathing holes at the front. might have to try adjusting the camera around a bit
