The best point for video capturing is from your surfboard and it can be done with the help of the GoPro Surf Hero Expansion kit. This kit also comes with a base plate for your camera that can be installed a foot from the tip of the board.

This mount will let you have a third-person view so that you can record a video of you on the board with the waves behind. But make sure that you tilt the camera at least 30-45 degrees upwards so you can get the full view of the wave.

The second vantage point is a first-person view, where everything the surfer sees is recorded. This can be done by attaching your camera to a lanyard and tie it around your wrist. But to get a good shot you may have to hold the camera at an angle.

While this makes for a cheap alternative, it can become quite cumbersome and the shots may come out too shaky. Another accessory you can use is wrist housing.

With this, you can secure the GoPro camera flat against your wrist instead of having it dangle from your wrist. This is much more convenient because when you want t record, all you have to do is pivot your arm upright. This will also leave your hands and arms free for when you aren’t recording with the camera. You will also be able to get in quite a few different shots from varied angles with this one.

The one-size alterable head mount strap is very easy to wear and because the mount is located right over your head, it delivers an outstanding eye-level point of view.

The head strap can be worn over a helmet or directly on your head to capture footage from a headlamp-like perspective.
