Extreme adventure storytelling
You are about to undertake one of the most extreme expeditions on planet Earth.
You are the the hero of your own adventure.
Who will you trust to tell your story?
An Experienced Adventurer
Barry Hayes runs Shark Bait Socials. He rowed in the world's first human powered race across the Pacific, it changed his life. Later he rowed across the Indian Ocean, unsupported and independent. He has provided support for extreme adventures, both on and off the water, sharing his knowledge and providing a sounding board for new ideas.
An Accomplished Writer
Contrasting articulate commentary, with down-to-earth and understandable phrasing, to create a fluid, engaging and well informed narrative for your followers. Barry is equally happy writing fast paced social media content, as he is writing formal updates for corporate sponsors.
A Passionate Advocate
The difference between Barry and any other social media business? He is passionate about adventure, to the point of obsession. Obsessed with adventure, obsessed with seeing people achieve their dreams and obsessed with creating a compelling story to shine a spotlight on some of the world's greatest achievements.
Happy clients
Barry’s services are something that I cannot recommend highly enough.
The value and impact he brings to a crew and to a campaign, through his support combined with his knowledge and passion for the sport is second to none.
I personally would not go to sea on an expedition without Barry and his incredible support.

Who do I trust to access and post on my social media channels, send my charity links to the right people, update my family?
For me, Barry ticks every one of those boxes.
Not only did Barry take care of everything “media” related but he’s also a proper nice bloke with a big heart. So much so I have a friend for life

Barry was an absolute star to work with. He just gets it!
As soon as we brought Barry ‘on board’ our campaign became more professional, our following increased, our sponsors were communicated to, and most importantly, our friends and family where engulfed by our story, daily!

Beyond Endurance
Barry was highly recommended to us but we weren’t entirely sure what he would bring to the table.
We needn’t have worried.
Barry’s unique blend of storytelling, drawing upon his own ocean rowing experience, his computing expertise and his clear passion for the sport, kept our friends, family, followers and sponsors completely engaged throughout.

I have used Barry’s social media services for several expeditions and can not recommend him enough.
His attention to detail and the obvious research he puts in to it all is outstanding.
Thank you for being part of my adventures.
