Washington's own Red Shack Productions has put together a film culminating in essentially the history of whitewater rafting in the northwest. It really looks like an amazing film. Having seen these guys in action, I can say for sure that they're redefining the ideas of what can or can't be done in a raft.
35 years of rafting in the Pacific Northwest
This documentary takes you through the late 70's and early 80's with Shane Turnbull during his early years with commercial rafting and into the private boating scene. Pushing forward into the 90's with John Hall and AAA Rafting on the White Salmon River and Jeff Bennett and David Sacquety's private boating exploits. In 2008 the raft racing events spawned a new rush in the whitewater world. From 2008 to 2010 rafters in the Pacific Northwest ventured beyond the guidebooks and explored uncharted territory for rafts.

-Editors note.
Before the making of this film Hans and I put together a couple short edits to get a feel for the overall story that we wanted to build. This edit was released in the 2011 PDX Kayaker Film Festival.
