What does it take to paddleboard around Vancouver Island? For Paul Verchere, it was a mix of grit, patience, and inspiration drawn from Terry Fox.

In conversation with Shane Hewitt, Paul recounts his 36-day, 1,300-kilometer journey after recovering from a severe ankle injury and transplant. He shares how he prepared to carry all his gear on a racing paddleboard, the dangers of Cape Scott, and the lessons learned from massive waves and long days on the water.

The story reveals how focusing on small steps can turn an impossible goal into an extraordinary achievement.
