I like the ones that Brett mentioned. Also, Huckin Huge makes good films.
Also great: the TGR series (Nurpu, Valhalla, Wehyakin). And perhaps my #1: The White Album.

Forgot about Twitch. No matter what your opinion is of Tao Berman, those are good films that showcase a lot of PNW gnar.

Hey are your pool sessions going to be open to the public? It'd be cool if you listed them here.

I would like to announce that Central Washington University in Ellensburg is offering kayak pool sessions for both students and non-students. They will be held most Sundays this quarter (Jan. 22, 29, Feb. 5, 12, 26, March 4) from 7-9pm. The cost is $5 cash payable at the pool. The pool is located in the CWU aquatic center just north of the intersection of E Dean Nicolson Blvd and N Walnut St. We have our own fleet of kayaks, paddles and skirts but would like to encourage participants to bring their own gear is available. Bring a bathing suit and towel. Two or more ACA certified whitewater kayaking instructors will be there to facilitate. It is a learn-at-your-own-pace, laid back atmosphere. Most new participants have never been in a kayak. This is a great way to expose yourself to kayaking without the consequences of the river. Come on out and join the party!

Lubes - I am going to move your post to the pool session area. That is where we try to keep these so they are easy to find.

For a slightly less agro audience, I'd recommend checking out Riversense. It is a bit dated, but it gets at a side of kayak culture that you could actually show to a non-boater that they might get. A lot of pillars in the WW community too, at least in teaching/east coast/old school circles.

More and more I have been getting into watching movies with just rivers in them too. Example would be "The River" with Mel Gibson. Not whitewater but certainly a sweet portrayal of the power of water!!!!
