I am a student event planner at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. I work for the outdoor shop here on campus. We have expanded into whitewater kayaking and facilitate weekly pool sessions and an Into to Whitewater Kayaking course. We just purchased a new fleet of 11 kayaks and are trying to get students introduced to kayaking. This spring I would like to show another kayaking film. We have already shown  Frontier, Wildwater, and Kadama.

Does anyone know of any other full length kayaking films they would recommend to get students over here stoked about boating?

Thanks,

Lubes

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.

Very cool- I mean I knew you were cool to begin with- but obviously I was ignorant of how great you really are...

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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_River_%281984_film%29 - "The River" with Mel Gibson . Not whitewater but certainly a sweet portrayal of the power of water!!!!
