Just to add my own 2 cents.  Amphibious Man is extremely well done.  If
I  recall correctly, it was originally done professionally for Danish
TV.  Quite a video.  We Western wimpy weaklings will no doubt take note
that the principal paddler in the video and his comrades all paddle
without gloves or pogies amidst the floating ice and icy waters.

The new Maligiaq video that is available from John Heath is better done
than the previous one, which was shot at the Paddler's Retreat.  This
has better footage including underwater shots of the rolling as well as
good explanations by Maligiaq of his paddle stroke and other manuevers. 
I recall reading in Anorak last year about people being mystified by the
angle of Maligiaq's blade in the forward stroke.  This aspect is well
shown and explained.  Even while he is being quite serious in his
presentation, some of Maligiaq's mischieveness peeks through.
