As painful as it is for most of us to see photos or videos of ourselves surf, everyone wants a shot of themselves getting barreled. Everyone. Whether you have a DD (that’s designated documentarian) or you switch off taking photos between friends, it’s important to have the water angle covered in the off chance somebody gets slotted.

For a while now, hobby surf photographers have had an array of gear to choose from to get water shots (from a waterproof disposable to a GoPro to a full-on camera/housing setup). But until now nothing has quite harnessed the power of the iPhone camera and brought it into the ocean.

Developed by an Emmy Award-winning cinematographer, and engineers that pioneered some of the highest quality camera housings on the planet, the Lenzo is an underwater iPhone housing that gives the user full control of their phone, with an optical dome lens, color filters, and a handful of other useful features.

Marketed mainly as a product for hobby scuba divers and snorkelers to take on vacation, the applications in surf are clear.
