Max’s story can be traced back to a single moment in time when he was hit by a devastating rogue wave during a race to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean with Chris Williams in 2017. 

What followed - amidst the worst conditions in a decade - is a battle to survive widely regarded as one of the most perilous sequence of events in the history of ocean racing. After a capsize, fire and almost fatal rescue attempt by an oil tanker in the middle of an Atlantic storm the difference between life and death was ultimately determined by a few inches and a series of extraordinary decisions. That's the footage you see above.

Not wanting to be defined by his worst-case scenario, Max took control of his narrative and orchestrated a breathtaking comeback. Just two years later, he returned to the race with Dave Spelman, not just completing the journey, but breaking the world record - a story so unique and unforgettable, it will captivate your audience like nothing they’ve ever heard before.
