Upper Soča - Soča river | Prijon Pike - 40 m3/s

Kayaking on Upper Soča section at high water. We started paddling right after The Great Soča Gorge.
This section consists of only three worth mentioning series of rapids. First series of rapids begin under the bridge at 0:55, second series are somewhere in the middle of the ride (they come more to "life" at a little lower water level - slaloming between big rocks) and the third one is the gorge at the end of the video, which we portaged this time.
My friend had to swim on the first rapid. You can imagine that it was not enjoyable as it was quite a long swim. That was perfect opportunity for me to practice my rescue skills (which I don't have much). I think that my lack in rescuing skills can be observed in the video as I made some mistakes that led to longer swimming time for my friend. It's very hard to rescue somebody in these kind of conditions.
Water flow: 40 m3/s
Difficulty: Class III - IV
