Last year Chris Benchetler & friends went all out to realize a life-goals project: a dream collaboration with the Grateful Dead. With the Dead’s official blessing, Chris set out to create a kaleidoscopic multi-sport action-adventure set to the tunes of the legendary jam band. Along for the ride are Jeremy Jones, Danny Davis, Chris’ wife Kimmy Fasani, Michelle Parker and surfer Rob Machado.
