Received a new GoPro gift. Just wondering what mounts everyone likes to use on the boat - wakeboard or surf?
Used the suction cup last summer - but it was not my camera.

Any good home-made mounts?

I've tried them all. Most allow vibrations that mess with the frame rate causing wavy lines in the video. I prefer a monopod. This winter they came out with a spring clamp that is well made and very strong. It has been my go to mount so far. Haven't been ably to try it in the boat yet. Anyway to isolate the camera from the boat is best. Buy a floaty for it.

Here are three images I was able to get by using the handlebar mount on my rope handle:

Did you buy or build your momopod? I'm finding more info on the Wake World Forum.

Spring clamp . . . is that the Jaws: Flex Clamp for $49.99?

I use a carbon fiber mono pod from Best Buy. That's the clamp.
