Steve Fisher (kayaker)

Steve Fisher is a former professional extreme whitewater kayaker and filmmaker. He is best known for his undelivered controversial Kickstarter campaign for a kayaking instructional film, his first descents, and expedition kayaking. For the Kickstarter campaign, he partnered with Kayak Session and recruited many of the world's extreme kayakers as instructors including Eric Jackson, Pat Keller, Ben Marr, and Dane Jackson. With nearly 850 backers contributing more than $83,000 to the project, Fisher failed to deliver on the majority of his promises. Instead, backers were treated to sporadic reports detailing multiple paddling trips to exotic destinations. The last such update was posted on March 17, 2017.

Steve is also known for his films with Pat Keller such as Pat's Blind Kayaking of Gorilla and the first legal descent of Merced in Yosemite along with films with other kayakers. He was a sponsored Red Bull athlete. His best known film work was his team's kayak down the Congo river. Steve and the others on the Congo kayaking team were one of the 2013 National Geographic Adventurers of the Year recipients. His kayak films includes work with Jeep and Outside Magazine. As of July 26, 2019 Steve was no longer listed as a Red Bull athlete and was no longer a member of Team Jackson Kayak.
