Episode 26 takes our boys to Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia, the Project Adventure team’s final destination. They’ve traveled an incredible distance since their first surf on the West coast in Tofino and the boys could not be more excited to end the trip catching waves on the opposite side of the country. It’s only Ryan’s second time ever surfing but a few tumbles and a couple unexpected encounters with rocks later, he finally gets the hang of things. After many hours in the Atlantic Ocean’s icy waters, the boys are tired, covered in goosebumps and ready to go home. Then, by shear fluke, they run into pro surfers Nico Manos and Logan Landry who graciously take them to a perfectly built underground bowl for some sick skateboarding. The next morning, having made nice with the pros, Brent, Mike, Ryan and Chris head back out to Lawrencetown Beach for a sunset surf on some crispy waves. The swell came in overnight and the powerful waves are about 8 feet high, but that doesn’t slow Mike down one bit. Five hours later, they’re finally ready to head home. What a day. What a trip.

Episode 25 of Project Adventure follows the boys to the East Coast of Canada to beautiful Prince Edward Island, where the soil is red and the potatoes are world famous. First, they stop at Ken’s Island Fries to taste the best homemade fries on the island. Using only hand-cut, locally grown potatoes, this traveling delicatessen is a Maritime favourite. Then it’s off to Ben’s Lake for some trout fishing with expert fly fisherman, George Craig. After a quick lesson on land, where they learn how to tie their own flies and properly cast their lines, it’s off to the docks to set some hooks. The rainbow trout are biting like crazy, and the boys catch fly-fishing fever as their rods bend and dip. After hours of excitement, they head back to the Hilton in Dartmouth for a much needed shower and a good night’s sleep.

It’s day 50 of Project Adventure and Chris, Mike, Ryan and Brent are headed towards our nation’s capital for their most action packed day yet. First, it’s off to HBC’s Ottawa store for a special welcome from the town crier, followed by some delicious custom striped Beaver Tails. Then the boys head to Carleton University to catch a rare glimpse of the city from way up high. Paralympic boardercross snowboarder and Petro Canada FACE athlete John Leslie, meets up with the boys at the Up & Away Tours launch site for some epic hot air ballooning. Ryan and Brent are terrified at first, but the view is so distractingly beautiful that they let their fears fall by the wayside. Two bumpy yet safe landings later, the boys head for Bowmanville, Ontario for the Boots and Hearts music festival to get on stage with acclaimed country music singer, Jason Aldean.

Episode 23 of Project Adventure follows our boys to beautiful Québec City where they pay a visit to HBC’s downtown QC store. After a warm welcome from the friendly staff, they pick up some striped gear from the special pop-up shop, and enjoy a piece of custom striped cake. Then it’s off to explore Les Galeries de la Capitale, the largest commercial complex in Eastern Canada. With 280 shops, 35 restaurants, a 17,000 square foot ice rink and the second largest amusement park in North America, it’s impossible for the boys to see everything the mall has to offer. But they couldn’t leave without a ride on the rollercoaster, a flip on the zipper and a quick skate. A short half hour later, the boys arrive at Montmorency Falls Park, where they meet up with Petro Canada FACE athlete David Blais-Langlais for a short French lesson. Unable to fully grasp the language, the boys count their lucky stars that Dave is there to tear down the language barrier. Then it’s time to conquer the falls. As an aerial freestyle skiier, Dave is used to conquering great heights on the daily, and the boys are happy to have him along for moral support. With the help of experienced guide, Jordan, Dave and the boys head up the falls for an epic climb that lasts almost 5 hours. But they don’t mind: “All of the views while on that climb were so worth it,” says Ryan.

It’s day 47 of our epic cross-country road trip and the boys are stoked to be in the second largest French-speaking city in the world to learn how to play Canada’s favourite sport: hockey. After getting suited up in brand new gear with the help of Montreal’s Sports Experts, Brent, Mike, Ryan and Chris head to the Aréna Ville Mont-Royal to meet up with Canadian Olympic Women’s Hockey Team coach, Danielle Savageau and three-time gold medal Olympic goalie, Kim St-Pierre. It’s a day of firsts for Chris, who has never played so much as a game of shinny in his life. The drills, which focus on mobility, agility, passing and shooting, are tough to say the least. And Danielle Sauvageau, the woman who lead the first women’s ice hockey team to take home the gold in nearly 50 years, expects nothing less than everything our boys have. Tensions run high and after a slight altercation, Ryan and Chris drop their gloves and Chris experiences his first on-ice fight, which of course, ends with a hug.

Olympic beach volleyball player, Martin Reader arrives at one of Ashbridges Bay’s 85 courts, to whip our boys into shape using giant chains, truck tires, parachutes and of course volleyballs. As an Olympic athlete and the co-founder of a fitness company called Strive Life, Martin has no problem pushing the boys to their limits as he guides them through his own high intensity, sport-specific training session. After endless drills and a few good rallies, just as the boys start to feel like they’ve hit their stride, they’re joined by Casey McTavish and Caleigh Whitaker, members of the Canadian National Beach Volleyball Team.

It’s day 43 of Project Adventure and Brent, Mike, Ryan and Chris are in Toronto to take a daring walk around the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere. Standing at 553 meters above sea level, The CN Tower is made up of 147 floors, 2579 steps and decades of rich Canadian history. As the boys step into their orange Edge Walk jumpers, a mix of fear and excitement washes over them. But all that fades as soon as they step out onto the edge, and catch a rare glimpse of the spectacular view from 356 meters above the city. Though Brent has a very real fear of heights, it doesn’t take long for him to get his bearings: “If you can walk on the sidewalk, you can walk on the Edge Walk.” After a quick visit to 360, the CN Tower’s revolving restaurant, Mike takes his post Edge Walk adrenaline rush over to New Tribe Tattoos and gets inked. Over seven hours later, he’s left with a unique tattoo that will forever commemorate this epic, once-in-a-lifetime journey across Canada.

Pan-American athlete Erika Langman and FACE athlete Tayler Wilton suit up in Stripes and strap on their boards to show our boys how to catch some big air. First timers Brent and Ryan have a little trouble getting up, but their persistence, and Erika and Tayler’s careful instruction, finally pays off. Ryan gets a little cocky, but after catching an edge and face-planting into the water he comes back down to earth. Mike does some fancy spins and inverts, and Chris carves through the cable park. But the ladies are the ones who dominate this day, and the boys leave in awe of their mad skills. *Petro Canada’s FACE athlete program (Fuelling Athlete and Coaching Excellence) provides equal funding to developing Olympic and Paralympic athletes and their coaches.

Episode 18 of Project Adventure takes our boys to Thunder Bay, Ontario for an action-packed day on the largest freshwater lake in the world — Canada’s own Lake Superior. The boys meet Sail Superior’s Captain Greg Herioux and learn how to rescue a man overboard, before suiting up and setting sail. The tides are rough and the ship crashes through some high waves, reaching speeds of 8 – 10 entirely wind-fueled nautical miles. But that doesn’t stop Mike from climbing the mast during his first ever shroud walk. Then it’s off to Nipigon to explore uncharted territory with local surfer/ stand-up paddleboarder, Dawn Conci. Mike and Chris head to a small island on the off chance that they’ll find a coveted eagle feather… and they get lucky. It’s a great day in Thunder Bay!
