The GoPro HD Surf HERO Camera is, quite simply an AMAZING waterproof camera. All we can tell you in our GoPro HD Review is that with crystal-clear 1080p HD recording quality, impact-resistant housing waterproof to 180 feet, and easy to apply mounts made for surfboards, kayaks, and all manner of watercraft, the GoPro HD Surf HERO Camera is not only one of the best waterproof cameras, but the absolute BEST camera we’ve found for video recording in water. (NOTE: This is now my go-to camera for any water or action video recording, its THAT great)
GoPro has been making waves in the waterproof and helmet camera world for a while now for delivering stunning high-definition photo and video in light, durable, user-friendly packages. GoPro HD Cameras are now a staple in professional filming of surfing, snowboarding, biking, and all manner of extreme sports and water sports, as well as being the personal camera used by many pro athletes themselves. The GoPro HD Surf HERO Camera expands on GoPro’s already amazing line of HD video cameras and is designed specifically for surfers, paddlers, windsurfers, kayakers, and water sports enthusiasts. While we are always quite critical in our reviews, it was hard to find anything not to like; a GoPro HD Review is hard to do without simply gushing over just what a great camera this is.

Chris S.,
I’m a California surfer and absolutely obsessed with this camera now! The video and picture quality is AMAZING, the camera itself is so light and durable, and I love it. However, I do want GoPro to come out with a firmware update to increase shutter speed. Besides that, I’m 100% satisfied. What a great buy!
