Has anyone used an Ikelite housing for surf Photography?

I was thinking about trying it out, but didnt know if the housing would handle the abuse...

Do a search for "surf". This topic has already been discussed here. In short, it will take the beat, but it´s to big and port attachment is design to work better under pressure. Another down is ports are acrylic so water drops stays in there most of the time.

After all if you want you can try it, but please don´t go pipeline.

i don't think Ike is designed for that. The port system with the two latches is not very secure when it comes to being hit by a wave or spending time at the surface. It is designed more to work under pressure to help keep the port in place. After all, it is designed for scuba and does a fine job with that, i would suggest a surf housing for surf photos as it is a different beast all together, pressure etc.

Someone linked a manufacturer here the other day but i can't find it..

try the Aussie company Aquatech
