Breaking GoPro mount wakeboarding
So I was on the lake Wednesday and broke my GoPro mount. I don't have my video editing software installed so I cannot show down as it was flying in the air.

How did you get it back??? You should tether it to your boot. It's a very neat view.

I have the backdoor floaty on it. Also the people in the boat watched it fly and could see the orange in the water.

I use a scuba gear tether that I run thru the rear lift eye or grab handle just is case the camera falls or gets ripped off. It has saved my gopro a few times when folks try and throw the surf rope in the boat and miss.

That was awesome - it could have appeared to be a totally gnarly wipeout with a couple cart wheels across the water before coming to rest.
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

The floaty will not float the camera + the suction mount. I added two key floats to my suction mount and between the three it floats the camera and suction mount.

Yes this was backflip Tuesday. I did more damage then I wanted too. No trips to the ER. I don't have any good video's of me but I do of one of my friends and I will post it later on.
Also this is what happens when you dive the front of the board into the water.2008 Outback V - Sold but never forgotten.
