Ron Fischer has been on top of the game for quite a few years and this year was no different. Ron seems to always be somewhere exotic ,running classic hard whitewater or searching out new or seldom paddled runs… Europe, Chile, Nepal, Indonesia were all on his list this year.
One of his more impressive feats… a night descent of the Reingfall in his homeland, Switzerland…
His natural ability is obvious in his style and... he is fast, with solid race results including the 'King of the Falls' title from the Teva Extreme Outdoor Gams in Italy.
Because of Ron's clear abilities and the impressive amount of time he has spent paddling hard class 5, he is a strong nominee for Rider of the Year.
