Soča Sessions

I honestly can't say enough about this river and valley. Beautiful blue water, really nice rapids and set amongst some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. I cannot wait to go back there!
Big thanks to everyone that showed me the lines on the river!

Love the song, super chill! The blue water is because there's tiny bits of rock in the water (called glacial salt) which reflect light in funky ways. Absolute paradise!

[@Senders]

Cheers mate, solid knowledge! Big fan of the glacial salt's work :P

[@smuir6104]

I love the content, just wish it were longer. I could relax to this for at least 30 min. maybe more

[@tomladson7745]

Idk 😐 I personally like the short vids

[@mitchelllee4717]

Miss your content bren

[@nicholasraymond352]

Watching these guys literally made me uproot my family hahah. Moving from florida to idaho just to get into this sport lmfao rock on!

[@nejckralj1566]

There are also some Soča tributaries (mainly Tolminka and Učja rivers) that offer some insane whitewater and scenery, but are only runnable after havy rains usually in the months october/november.

[@kylekiser8825]

Nice rock flip into hole surf at 2 mins in Bren!!!!🤙🏻😁

[@brandonb9830]

Usually don't comment too much I've seen all your vids but that was definitely one of your best vids lately that didn't have an adventure side to it like showing you guys hiking and talking and what not. I like those longer vids better but this was great.

[@Senders]

Thanks for the feedback and watching mate :)

[@Jan-me3tt]

The soca is such a beautiful river next year I’m finally there, and nice front flip in the ripper Bren.

[@fredgoeskayaking337]

It's an ozone not a ripper Thought you might want to know!

[@Senders]

That's a Ripper mate, my Ozone is being shipped over now :)

[@hubertbochra874]

Hi, we wanted to sail with our own packraft, I could ask for the location from which you started and where you had the finish :)? For example, coordinating with google or photos :) Thanks in advance! Video Super! :)

[@tim__sadler]

Sweeeeeet little edit!

[@Senders]

Cheers mate, hope you're well :)

[@kayakboy6748]

Who could give this a thumbs down? Some people will never be happy. Sick lines, nice camera work. Well done

Slovenia 😍

[@MoritzMeyer56]

God, I miss the Soca... We were supposed to go there on Easter, but then Corona happened.

[@philippkroll1546]

Ohh man i was also at the Soca this Weekend ;) If i had known you where there i would have packed my gear and joined you on the Water xD just so amazing down there

[@Senders]

Hope you had a great weekend! Catch you next time

[@jortbrakel3438]

Truly amazing video, awesome job man! I don't know if you (or anybody else) will see this comment, but what part of the Soca river is this? I'm going to the Soca at the end of April. And I'm looking for nice parts to paddle, but not too easy. We're paddlers with class III-IV experience, so I'm not sure if this part might be too hard for us.

[@sirka6539]

most of it was Otona

[@dylanosmond721]

Your videos are really cool hope to be as good as you one day

[@Senders]

Cheers mate, I'm sure you will be :)

[@lucainekschen580]

I'm Drive in one week to the soca and hope the water Level are so good. Wich line was in the Video

[@petrasibilja2624]

it looks like the water levels are gonna be just fine :) we have rainy weather for some time now, and rain is still predicted until the end of this week :)

[@lordofnothing.]

maybe try to adjust colour saturation between gopro and dslr footage so they get somewhat to the same ballpark? overall quite delicious though

[@Senders]

Agreed mate, but a lot of times the DSLR shots where poretty blown out as it was so sunny in there, even though the gopro over saturates things a bit I wanted peeps to be able to see jus thow blue the water is there.

[@lordofnothing.]

@@Senders fair point, because it is blue! or green depending on time of year and section

[@xlELiT3Nooblx]

I miss the socia :( fuck covid but hopp that i will run it soon again :) so long thx 4 your video :)

[@martinkremercz]

What action camera are you using right now? is that GH8?

[@cattv5063]

ashley!!!

[@pauldevlin3081]

That looks awesome. Is that the ripper your on Bren?

[@Senders]

Yeah mate, should have some more kayaks getting shipped to me soon. The Ozone would be amazing ion parts of that river and a little bit intimadating in others :)

[@oscarchadderton1610]

Are you planning on visiting soča another time??🙏plzzzz😂

[@Senders]

Definitely mate, can't wait to go back!

[@user-yd7jy3qz9j]

норм

[@1882jojo]

Super nice Edit again. But did u put a filter on it? It seems pretty grey and bleached out. I would prefer it without a filter, especially because the soca valley already gives us so amazing colors.

[@petrasibilja2624]

i wouldn't say they used a filter :)

[@ronanlanam1127]

Yeah cane here to say this. The color grading they used makes it look washed out and gray tones. Other wise great video loved it!

[@Senders]

While the Soca is beautiful it is hard to film there, just so much sun and bright light. Did what I could but ultimately I need to go back and do some more filing with a heavier set iof ND filters on the cameras

[@eligolding1709]

Imagine if the senders kayaked woth me a beginner kayaker just getting into the sport

[@Senders]

I sort of do that atg times in the year, what country are you from?

[@eligolding1709]
