Steve Fisher has been called many things, but among the more favorable is the title of “World’s Best Kayaker,” awarded to Fisher by Paddler magazine in 2003. 2005 was a good year – he won the Big Gun Show in the video and photo category (freestyles holy grail of aerial wave move awards), and in the same year was once again voted as the world’s best all-round kayaker – this time, not by readers but by a paddlers poll of the worlds’ top paddlers. Growing up on a farm in rural Estcourt, South Africa close to the Bushman’s River, he started paddling when he only was six years old and by 21, his attraction to big waters had already taken hold when moved to Africa’s famed Zambezi River to kayak full time.

Steve uses 3D Mic Pro to record the immersive sound of his extreme sports in most demanding environments around the world such as muddy slush of Congo basin, sandy deserts of Africa or salty spray of ocean.

Steve has started his own productions, ‘Wicked Liquid I &II’ and quickly became well known in the endemic ‘kayak-porn’ scene. This has culminated in a 1 hour biographical documentary spanning ten years of his life: “Steve Fisher – Black Book’, a film by Scott Lindgren.

His efforts to bring kayaking to mainstream audiences have resulted in dozens of TV features on channels like NBC, Discovery, OLN, Rush HD, Gillette World Sport, Eurosport, Extreme, NZ TV1, Supersport, Lufthansa, Air New Zealand and more.

Apart from the 100’s of kayak mag pages he’s filled, he’s featured in such publications as Sports Illustrated, EXPN, GQ, FHM, Mens Journal, Outside, NG Adventure, Sport and the ‘Outside Faces’ Bookazine – “The world’s top 20 outdoor athletes now.”
