    ^ Your smartphone probably has the same quality of video as GoPro.

    If I were buying now, I'd get underwater housing and maybe a wide-angle clip-on lens for my iPhone rather than a GoPro.

    iPhone has a LCD viewfinder/display, focusing lens (GoPro has fixed focus like a disposable toy camera), the same or better image quality, better battery life, playback and editing tools...

    I happen to have a GoPro though, so here's a question: what's the best way to attach it to a surfboard that isn't mine (beginner surf classes)?

    • clean the area and use a sticky mount, and also use a float just incasemoldero
    • in surf class they wont put you in anything that will be big enough to break that sticky mount sealmoldero
