I love my gopros.

It's boring if you only film from one position, i agree on that point. but if you get creative and mix it up they can be a lot of fun.

chriscut, does side mount on the helmet look better than straight in the middle? And I was gonna mount it to to about a quarter the length of my board from the tail. have you tried that yet? And what about a handle mount? I was thinking about mounting it to my line about 5-6 feet in front of me so its pointing back at the rider.

any tips would be appreciated!

EJazzle, the suction cup mount for the side of the helmet is really cool for mountain biking, not sure about wakeskating. I have pretty much every mount they make.. the rope mount might work, but that could be a lot of vibrating and hard to keep it still. You could have a buddy get a monopod and then stick the tripod mount on the go pro. have them ride doubles and hold the camera a foot away from your feet or above your head looking down at you. You have endless options. The chest mount is also pretty sick.

This is one of the first videos I made with my go pro SD: http://vimeo.com/6360087
