Brad McCarthy devised the idea for MAXTRAX in 2001 after a particularly stressful incident on a remote north Queensland beach where he almost lost his bogged vehicle to the incoming tide.
Brad was one of the earliest supporters of Adventure Curated, and whether we’re providing feedback on their latest ideas or field testing products, we love working with the MAXTRAX team.
