If you’ve ever taken dipping a paddle in the water seriously, chances are you’ve heard of Oscar Chalupsky.

He is a watersports legend in South Africa, and around the world, and is perhaps best known for his exploits in the fields of surf ski and paddling.

Carte Blanche visits the legendary champion and coach at home in Cape Town as he regains his strength.

Here’s the segment from this past Sunday’s show:

You can follow Oscar’s journey on Facebook and Instagram.
