Born in Ontario, professional kayaker Benny Marr currently doesn’t have a home. And that’s fine by him. Traveling the world, couch surfing, or crashing in the back of his truck, Marr would rather be at the right spot at the right time than being tied down by any traditional financial shackles, like that nasty mortgage.

Marr is one of, if not, the top kayakers in the world.  From insane big wave freestyle, to big water first descents (including the legendary, previously untested Site Zed and the mighty Congo) Benny is the best at what he does, but you would never know it meeting him off the river. He’s kayaked the famed 3-week expedition through Canada’s Nachvak River, and has recently tackled an incredibly technical expedition through Papua New Guinea.

About his presentation
Benny plans to introduce kayaking and highlight a few far away destinations, from Africa, to China and Papua New Guinea. As well as a glimpse into Quebec and Ontario, before moving into the bulk of the presentation, the incredible whitewater options in the South Coast, honing in on Squamish and Whistler.

ABOUT MULTIPLICITY
MULTIPLICITY — Elevation. Imagination. Inspiration.
Presented by Mountain Life Media – A special flagship fundraiser for the Spearhead Huts Project.

Like a TEDTalk® on adrenalin, MULTIPLICITY is visual storytelling at its most adventurous.

A flagship fundraiser for the Spearhead Huts Project, the event premiered in 2013 and was immediately pegged “the most underrated night” at Whistler’s World Ski & Snowboard Festival. The secret is out now and MULTIPLICITY has grown into one of the crowd favourites in the WSSF‘s eclectic arts line-up, and is also considered one of Whistler’s most inspiring events…. Read more

Adventures like this one require an inspiring team. @timemmett is a longtime friend, adventure partner and extraordinary human; an explorer, pro climber, surfer, freediver—you name it. @luca.freediver is an incredibly talented freediver, fresh off breaking the Canadian national freediving record (85 metres). The fourth man on the team, @brianhockenstein, is a filmmaker and multi-talented snowboarder always ready to jump into the fray and capture the magic. - words Jimmy Martinello. #Linkinbio to learn more!
We came in search of the connection of the human spirit to both art and adventure, whether climbing from the depths of moulins and ice caves, breaking through ice while paddleboarding fjords, climbing icebergs, freediving between tectonic plates or surfing cold waves.
A thousand and one things could have gone wrong, but she made it to the top:  @mariepier.desharnais is the first Quebecois woman to climb K2.
Mountain Life is a proud member of the @printreleaf_ community. So far we've offset our print by having 1,737 trees reforested since joining in 2019! 🌲
GUESS WHAT! It's FRIDAY! Here's a flick to kick off the weekend for all you warriors.

In 1986 @beverlyglenncopeland recorded Keyboard Fantasies using an Atari computer, a keyboard and a drum machine. After releasing it on cassette and selling maybe 50 copies, he went back to writing for Sesame Street and making the odd guest appearance on Mr. Dressup. In 2015, a cassette made its way to Japanese collector Ryota Masuko, a record store owner with a big online presence, who quickly bought, and then sold, all the Keyboard Fantasies cassettes he could find. Record labels worldwide lined up to reissue the hidden gem on vinyl.
