Jennifer Kalmbach

Jenny is a Kona local and accomplished stand up paddler who knows how to dream big and make it happen.

As of this writing, Jenny has competed in over 40 stand up paddling events, placing well throughout, and killing it in the long-distance races.

Jenny helped create the Destination 3 Degrees adventure where she and two friends paddled across Hawaii’s 9 open-ocean channels to raise awareness and funds to help benefit Algalita Marine Research Foundation in their efforts to understand and protect the oceans from the impacts of plastics contamination.

In September of 2011, Jenny was voted Female Stand Up Paddler of the Year by SUP Magazine readers. You can read her fantastic play-by-play of the award ceremony in her own words here.

You can check out our Kona Boys Interview with Jenny where she was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about SUP and the Big Island.
