E32 — Benny Marr
As far as Canadian whitewater kayakers go, Benny Marr is one of its stars. According to Wikipedia, he received the National Geographic Adventurer of the year in 2013. Although as you’ll hear in our chat, he’s not really aware of that. He’s completed a one-day descent of the Stikine River in BC and has mounted expeditions to Papua New Guinea, the Congo, Chile, Zimbabwe and more. Films like Quality of Imagination, Locked In and the Grand Inga Project reveal some of the seriously incredible adventures he’s been a part of.
If you’re like me, whenever I watch whitewater kayakers one question always comes to mind: Is it actually any fun to drop off a 110-foot waterfall? Benny has the answer.
