I notice the bungee is very heavy duty, much heavier than I had planned.
I also post the links to the photos here, make it easier for the next guy.

Camera Rig
Randy and Bob,
Thanks, for the last 3 weeks I have been testing my rig, and have my mates off to OZ to shop for better marine grade bungee cord, with good diameter.
I am using a Canon Power Shot D10, and it already has several mounting points on the camera. I did the installation as you recommended, with 2 points, one at 3 and one at 9 o'clock positions, which are used to slide the camera around the back or over the shoulder.
I have the eye loop on the bottom of the camera (6 o'clock position) with rubber washers which is the security or securing cable, or cord.
Result, it works very well, this is an an excellent system, and totally recommend it to everyone who wants to take photos from the water, and surf as well. The camera is not a bother AT ALL, during the surf, or during wipeouts.
Just a note, the larger diameter bungee (hard to find here) is a benefit as the stiffness permits the camera to slide in a straight line over or under the should to its resting place on the back.
The large diameter is also heavy, a benefit, as it keeps the set up seated, and hanging in the right place.
Recommendation to others. Try the Canon Powershot D10 as a simple tool (not professional) for documenting your friends, and the Gove set up is unreal.
Thanks again Randy, Gove for the useful practical recommendation.

test shot
Here is a test shot from Friday, I was paddling back out, sitting on my board in the channel of sorts, 3x optical zoom. I think the camera is going to be fun.
