Follow Serge Beland on his amazing story through 2023, paddling class 5 at the age of 63 years old and while going through multiple surgeries for carcinoid cancer. Go Serge!
"Recap 2023 despite a carcinoid cancer that required 3 surgeries in 21 months in the same spot. Still doing class 5 rapids at the age of 63 years old.

One of the most powerful kayaking films I have viewed. "If I had to chose a way to go, I would rather give myself to the rivers that gave so much to me..." What a truly powerful comment! Thanks for the renewed motivation and inspiration!

Loved this. Whitewater kayaking is for sure my meditation and has also tough me so much about life. About being in the moment and sticking your line and when things get overwhelming and seem un-runnable, brake them down into smaller parts by taking eddies.

Ich kann mir gut vorstellen wie es dir gerade geht. Bei mir wurde ein Tumor in der Speiseröhre festgestellt, in einer Woche werde ich operiert. Ich liebe es im Kajak zu sitzen, nicht so extrem wie du, aber mit dem gleichen Spaß. Mein Traum ist mit meiner Enkeltochter zusammen einen Wildbach zu befahren. Sie ist gerade mal zweieinhalb Jahre alt. Ich muss also noch eine Weile durchhalten. Ich wünsche dir alles Gute und noch viele Stunden im Kajak. Niemals aufgeben. 👍👍👍

Meine Freundin, deine Enkelin ist deine Quelle der Hoffnung, deine Quelle des Halts, konzentriere dich auf sie, du solltest dein Ziel erreichen, Wildwasserkajak in einem Wildbach mit ihr zu machen, ich wünsche dir alles Gute für die nächste Woche.

Serge, tu a fais partie du début de mon parcours. J'ai nagé à ma première Tewks à tes côtés. Tu sera toujours un modèle d'inspiration pour moi. Keep fighting, there are options to help the fight within the way to eat that your doctors doesn't know about. I can help you find where if you wish.
