Has anyone tried removing the mount? My surfing would be on a rental board and I wouldn't want to damage their property.

If you use a blowdryer on a hot setting, you can slowly melt the adhesive and take it off without any damage to the board. However, you might not want to put it on a rental because the mount will be rendered useless one you take it off. It would be too expensive. An alternative is just using the regular flat adhesive, and use the lanyard and lanyard mount that comes with the floaty backdoor. (use the floaty ALWAYS when in water, regardless of what mount you use.)

You could try but peeling up the backing tape may peel up the finish on the board. I removed one to remount it and it was a chore, but my board is composite so it didn't hurt the finish, just the fingernails. Just get a suction cup mount with a floatie and tether and you're good to go brah.

To remove any gopro mounts you just have to heat them up with a hair dryer and pry them up. The surfboard mounts have a lot of surface area though, so it could take a while. Plus the mount is useless after that. But yes, you will be able to get it off.

I just checked. It spins around, moves up-down, forward and backward. I didn't see anyway of removing it form its mount. Didn't want to manipulate it to much.

Not sure I got rid of mine cause the mounting hardware requires you to drill 2 holes in the frame of your trailer. Don't wanna weaken my frame!

Yes, It is not fixed hence can remove easily. it is placed in two holes in the board. first I thought it is broken but it is purposely made this way.

Nope, there's no place to mount a trolling motor. I also found that it is much slower than hard shelled kayaks, although that was to be expected.

I donno, i always just leave it mounted most of the time, i only removed it like 3 or 4 times, and it works just fine.

I purchased the board last fall so I've not given much thought to it. I've been surfing for a number of years so I thought it was an easy installation . I am out of town until 8-11. If u can wait that long e mail me ggarciaiii@gmail.comI'll b happy to help u. George

ive taken mine off with no problems... up to you but just pull a little harder.. or use something thin like a metal nail file and slide it underneath

I took mine to a surf shop, and they installed a leash for me. It involved inserting a screw. Didn't cause any problems.

I have! I use it for kayaks, paddle boards, and a sailboard, and I honestly haven't had any problem at all. Either pull the foam all the way over the corners of the frame to give it more grip or lay a folded yoga towel (my wife's idea) across the frame and make sure to bungee fairly tightly when you use it for the boards. Also place the frame about 2/3rds back and lift the front of the board, it won't work very well if you try to place the frame in the center of the board. Hope that helps!

Hi - One of our screws fell out in the ocean on our first trip into the water. Does anyone know where to get a replacement screw for this board?

no i tried to remove it too. also, backboard mountings are close together which makes the board have a "soft" feel when shooting off the backboard, as well as when shooting onto the rim, if you like that sort of feel.

I have not mounted mine yet. waiting for summer. I plan to use anchor screws. the boards are light. good luck.

The board is not a smooth fiberglass finish but rather a slightly textured vinyl like fabric that is inflated. I don't think it would work well. I have a similar mount but would not try it on this board. dlb

Water related sports? absolutely. I took mine SCUBA diving, where with a snappy coil connects it to my BC. Surfing? I don't surf so I'm not sure. I suppose that you'd want it tethered to yourself somehow so in case you drop it, you'll still have it. GoPro provides other mounts that can attach directly to your board or to your head.

I haven't tried moving it myself but I would say no you wouldn't be able to reuse it unless you get a new sticky pad for the mount.
