My name is Andrej Trnkoczy. I'm an experienced whitewater guide living in the Bovec valley. I was born in Ljubljana. I spent most of my childhood days in the Trenta valley, where our family has a weekend house. I was playing in the forest, climbing trees, and observing the wildlife. When I got a little older, my siblings started to take me on adventures around the valley. We spent a lot of time by the river, where we practiced paddling in our father's kayak. He was one of the first people to start kayaking here, long before we even knew what Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP-ing) was. In my teenage years, I kept coming back to the valley to do sports and explore the wilderness of the Julian Alps. We tried out many activities, but it was always water sports that lured me here the most. In 2018 I moved to Bovec to work as a whitewater guide on the Soča river. I soon realized I want to start my own business. At that point, paddleboarding was already very popular, but there was little presence of it here, so I decided to open the Bovec Paddleboarding agency. Ever since then, guiding people and teaching them to paddle correctly has been my passion. It helps me to fulfill my life's calling, making people happy and smile! During my years of working as a guide, I've gathered a lot of knowledge about water dynamics and safety precautions. That enables me to provide a professional and safe paddling experience for you to enjoy to the fullest.
