Underwater housing...but over the water strobe?

I have the DS161 Ikelite strobe and its proper arm but is the weight of this too much for above water use? 
I love the video light and I would love to use it for surf photography and video but do either 1. the arms have to be VERY tight for it to stay put or 2. it's just not to be used for above water use?

Ikelite used to make a video light but this will work for both, video was somewhere around 500 lumens...

is it better to just find a cheaper lighter video light for above water use?
