My name is Amanda Strunk, and I am the founder of Bluegrass SUP Academy! I am a life long water lover, and have been paddling for over ten years, the last five at a competitive level. I am a American Canoe Association certified Level 2 SUP Instructor, Safe Sport certified, and certified in First Aid and CPR. I got my start in race league coordination and instruction with and a few years back and knew that I wanted to make SUP my forever career! I am taking this leap forward to offer private or group lessons, guided tours, clinics, and retreats so I can get as many of you on the water as possible! I believe that SUP is for EVERYONE, and I would love to teach you everything from the basics of paddling all the way to competing in your first event!
