Unfortunately the GoPro foot is fixed on the helmet. No further adjustment, only tilting up/down. The recording is with Lens in Superview mode (a wide angle of sight).

Last winter in our "Speedlagoon" I broke a Z-SLM fin at the end of a "shitty week": Ripped a Evo12, Lossed a GoPro11, Broke an XF-boom .

Als m'n vrouw me 's avonds nog niet thuis ziet doet ze wel een belletje naar de vuurtorenwachter.

Een hele enkele keer dat ik met het raceboard (Equipe) uren (en ver weg) ga toeren, meld ik me bij de "vuurtorenwachter" en meld ik me ook weer af.

Thank you for answer. Today I was at Brouwersdam, it was a perfect day. I saw by the kite vlogs of "Kevin Langeree" that he and his crew and for example "Pippa van Iersel" use an orange mouth surrounding the gopro. Directly for the teeth. It must be very soft. But I don't find this solution in the net. Only with an mechanic "Gelenk" sorry don't know the english word for this. This is perhaps another possibilty.
Awesome session. Nearly like being on the water❤👌🤙
Perhaps without seeing the helmet perfect, my opinion😊

Added an extra foot for the GoPro on the Helmet ! ! !
see my last video .

Nasty 'touchdown' at 03.10. As I surf on Zfins, I hate to damage them and never go too shallow. Oh well, awesome footage, thanks for that.

The day before I passed over that same(drying) shoal with higher tide without touching (discoloured water and breaking waves)

Zo is dat Frank. Gaat lekker !
