The Ocean Rowing Club Podcast

This podcast was set up by Atlantic Dash co-founder Alex. One of the best things you can do as you prepare for your ocean row is to talk to the people who have done it already. It can be hard to reach out to people, so Alex has done it for you.

All oceans. All types of people.

The podcast covers all types of crossings, from independent challenges across the North Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and the Black Sea, to organised races including The Atlantic Dash, The World’s Toughest Row (formerly known as the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge), The Great Pacific Race, GB Row Challenge and Roxy Expeditions.

Alex speaks to people of all ages, from solos to crews of 12 people, from all walks of life; mothers to military, the experienced to the unlikely, and the lovers to the haters!
