Description
Rob on Godafoss (as used in Pyranha Adverts)
The main reason for doing this section of the river is Godafoss, a very impressive river wide horse shoe waterfall about 8 metres high. This has been shot numerous times down the far left and once down the slightly higher shoot on the left. As far as we know it has never been shot down the even higher central shoot.
If you’re not the plummeting poseing to tourist type get in below the horrible mincing drop after Godafoss. This has not been shot numerous times for obvious reasons. Get out about 2 kms further downstream after the rapids have finished. There is nothing to worry about on this section.
