What Happen When You Fall On Your Face - Does It Rip Your Teeth Out?

When we started prototyping the Grill Mount we went with an international test crew consisting of Tom Butler, Keoni Watson, Keoni Jones, Raph Bruhwiler and Ryan Hipwood as well as numerous other big wave surfers and freesurfers to be our prototype enjoyers and destroyers. We tested in Hawaii, Indo, Bali, Australia, Portugal, France and Tahiti because we figured they could put the Grill Mount through it's paces in those places and test it as hard as they could possible test it. They said when they crashed on their face on the face, they didn't even notice it was there because it didn't move due to the solid connection between their molars and the mount as well as the stiff poly carb construction. Due to the molded mouth guard style fit that is custom fit to your teeth, on a stiff spine that holds your camera, the way it locks into your teeth and doesn't flex, it keeps it away from your chin, keeps it from ripping your teeth out and keeps the mount from coming out. The lack of flex also keeps your footage smoother. Check a Grill Mount out, you'll be stoked on the difference hell men, engineering, science, orthodontists, 7 generations of 3D printed prototypes and almost year of prototype testing make to the final product.
