Ben Marr

Kayak

One of kayaking’s rising stars, Ben has taken a spot in the front line of the sports progression. Pushing the limits of freestyle and venturing on high profile international expeditions is what makes the 23 year old small town boy stand out from the rest. The next adventure for Ben lies in spring season Northern Quebec, where flooding rivers, steep creeks, and tall waterfalls will fuel the young athletes progression.

What are you afraid of: lots of things, id say my biggest fear, the one that is most on my mind would be that im fishing right, and i havent caught a fish in a long time so i go way out to sea , and i catch a huuuggee marlin, its so big it just tows me and my boat around for days and days, then finally tire it out and pull it in, and on my way home sharks atack my fish so much that when i arrive all thats left is the bones...
