What does ego have to do with confidence in kayaking? 

Benny Marr, one of the best big wave and expedition paddlers in the world, has a surprising answer that will help you discern whether to run a challenging rapid or walk away. In this conversation from 2024 on The Discomfort Zone Podcast with Anna Levesque, Benny goes into how he has used his ego for both 'good' and 'evil' in kayaking, and what that has taught him along the way.

If you have ever wondered who you're actually paddling for, this one is for you.

In this episode:

  • Why it's important to discern between being self-confident and self-conscious

  • Where he feels nerves in his body, and the strategies he uses to focus

  • How he approaches instruction and helps his clients progress in kayaking 

  • The strategies he and his crews have used to reach their goals.

This is one of the most downloaded episodes of The Discomfort Zone podcast with lots of stories from Benny about running big whitewater with top paddlers all over the world. Benny also turns 40 this week - so great timing for a re-release!

Tune in to learn from one of the best and most grounded paddlers in the world.
