Frame Grab above from some video I shot recently with the camera mounted on a short hand peg. The housing was just starting to fog and this can be prevented most of the time by taking these simple steps..

Wipe out housing with clean dry cloth to remove any moisture.Heat up anti fog inserts for thirty seconds in microwave and insert around camera in housing. Acclimatize camera and housing with the heat from the palm of your hand . When using in surf keep the camera out of direct sunlight and submerged in the water , keeps everything at a even temp so the housing wont sweat.The battery in these cameras make the housing hot enough, so it does not need any more help from the sun, and I find that's when my camera will fog when it sits in the hot sun, then into the cooler water…yuk. The lenses is a ‘wet lenses’, so keeping it wet, spitting on it and rubbing gently with finger will help with the water droplets, dry streaks and smearing.
Helmet Mounts
Best way to film when you want your hands free, Ideal for recording mat surfing , as there is no hard surface to fix a mount as you can with a standard surfboard. Keep camera in the water between waves so that the Sun wont cook the housing up !
Cuddle Time?
Hand Poles
Long or short, a you can get some really different angles with these little beauties!

Wrist Mount
Not a great lover of these, but did have some success with it a few years ago with my old Go Pro 1 on a really good day at a local reef surfing my kneeboard , then swimming out into the line up .
