Board-specific mounts
Board-specific mounts attach directly to a surfboard, bodyboard, or SUP, giving a fixed point-of-view angle without body-mounted gear. This hub covers nose and rail mounting options across board types.
Board mount picks noted by compatible board type and mounting surface.
Surfboard Camera Mounts
A board-nose mount sized for the narrower deck space of a shortboard, aimed at surfers who want a fixed point-of-view angle without body-mounted gear. Mounting position affects how waves catch the water near the nose.
Reflects criteria around low-profile clearance for shortboard rocker and manufacturer-documented adhesive cure time.

Surfboard Camera Mounts
A rail-mounted bracket suited to the flatter, wider deck of a longboard, aimed at surfers who prefer a side angle over a nose-mounted view. Requires enough flat rail surface for a secure adhesive or screw-in bond.
Reflects criteria around rail curvature compatibility and a documented installation surface-prep process.

Surfboard Camera Mounts
A mount sized and positioned for a bodyboard's shorter deck and different riding position compared to a stand-up board. Aimed at bodyboarders who want a fixed low-angle shot without hand-held gear.
Reflects criteria around bodyboard-specific deck thickness compatibility and tether pairing given close wave impact forces.

Surfboard Camera Mounts
A mount built for a stand-up paddleboard's flatter, more stable deck, aimed at paddlers documenting flat-water or small-wave sessions rather than high-impact surf. Generally sees lower impact forces than a shortboard mount.
Reflects criteria around flat-deck adhesive footprint and manufacturer installation guidance for SUP deck pads.
Explore options on AmazonMounting surface, board flex, and available deck space differ across shortboards, longboards, bodyboards, and SUPs. Follow the mount manufacturer's instructions for surface prep and placement rather than improvising a position.
Adhesive and screw-in mounts both carry some risk of board damage on removal, and any board mount should be paired with a retention tether given wave impact forces. We do not recommend drilling reinforcement or modifications beyond the manufacturer's documented installation method.
Mounting too close to the nose in a way that catches waves awkwardly, skipping a tether, and installing on a wet or waxy surface where adhesive won't cure properly. See our surfboard camera mount guide.
