Hi everyone, I am going to do some videoing while out in the surf, I plan to mount the camera onto the helmet for a different angle while surfing. Does anyone have any good advice on which brand of helmet would be best to get?

Very happy with my Gath although, I ought to use it more often

I used to have a Gath but the ear protectors fell off and it left a sharp edge - and it was a bit small. I now have this:

I use this mount on the side of the helmet:

Two issues:

1. I mounted it too far back so the helmet is in the shot
2. The swivel on the gopro mount is not stiff enough so impact with the water causes the camera angle to change...

Here it is:

I use the gath helmet with gopro top mount, works well and keep me warm in winter.

Gath..

if you didn't want a helmet ,you could get the head strap go pro mount .my mate uses one
because he said the helmets are to noisy for windsurfing .true ,but with the jedi ,you can remove the ear moulds .
GARTH Jedi ...for me .they keep you warm too.

I used my bike helmet. Worked fine.
