Product Information
Full details
The Drift Innovation Flat Surf Mount is an essential accessory for surfers, kiteboarders, and wakeboarders looking to capture high-intensity footage from their board. This mount provides a high-strength connection using 3M VHB adhesive and a waterproof polymer construction designed to endure punishing marine environments. While it offers excellent angle adjustability, users must ensure proper surface preparation to maintain the integrity of the adhesive bond over time.

FAQs
Can I reuse the mount on another board?
No, the 3M VHB adhesive is designed for a permanent, one-time application. Attempting to remove and reuse it will significantly weaken the bond.
Does this work on curved surfboards?
This model is specifically designed for flat surfaces. For boards with significant deck curvature, consider the Drift curved mount options.
Is the tether necessary?
While the adhesive is very strong, the included safety tether is highly recommended as a secondary fail-safe in case of high-impact crashes.
Will salt water corrode the mount?
The mount is made from a durable, waterproof polymer that is resistant to marine corrosion, though rinsing with fresh water after sessions is recommended.
Is this mount compatible with non-Drift cameras?
This mount is designed specifically for the Drift action camera ecosystem and its unique attachment system.
Troubleshooting
The mount is not sticking securely to the board.
Ensure the board surface was cleaned with alcohol and completely free of wax before application. The adhesive requires a 24-hour cure time before exposure to water.
The camera angle keeps shifting during use.
Ensure the ratcheting washer is fully tightened. If it still slips, check for sand or grit in the gear teeth and rinse with fresh water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, clean the intended mounting area thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax, salt, and residue before applying the mount. Press the mount firmly onto a dry surface and allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before introducing it to the water. This mount is compatible with the entire range of Drift action cameras. To care for the unit, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after every session to prevent salt crystal buildup, and periodically inspect the adhesive edges for any signs of lifting.
