GoPro Headstrap mount

Hi I'm surfing in pretty cold water at the moment and I thought perhaps I could wear my gopro on a Headstrap beneath my hood? Any other ideas?

Milo there is a Gath helmet that has a mount on the peak of the helmet.
I would be seriously concerned about a strap head mount, in an unlucky face plant or head impact the hard casing of the Go Pro could cause serious brain damage.
I said the same about a guy offering soft baseball type caps as a Go Pro mount.
There are mouthpiece mounts and a number of pros have had substantial facial injuries in wipeouts. Serious waves and then serious injuries. :?

Cheers for the reply that's a good idea I see what you mean, my friend suffered an injury to his chest just from falling over wearing a chest mount cheers again!
