Waterproof surf cameras have invaded the world's busiest line-ups.
Not only because we want to capture our greatest surfing moments for prosperity, but also because vanity is a healthy part of surfing.
Sometimes, having a GoPro camera is not enough. Multiple accessories can dramatically change the quality of our videos and open way to fresh new perspectives, from the surfer's point of view or simply from surfboard level.
Simultaneously, we often feel we're missing small accessories, either because they deteriorate with use or because they will increase the longevity of the cameras.
Those headaches are over; we've listed all the mounts and accessories that may be useful to modern GoPro surfers.
