About me
David Verde is a life long outdoor adventurer, paddler and waterman. By trade he is career filmmaker and video producer and currently works and lives in Staunton, VA. David is certified by the Professional Standup Paddle Association (PSUPA), he began paddle boarding after relocating from Charleston, South Carolina to fill the void left not having easy access to surfing and the ocean. He was hooked from day one and has gone on to become a highly skilled paddler. He is one of the only river surfers and whitewater paddle boarders in the Shenandoah Valley and can confidently navigate class III-IV rapids standing up. On the less high-octane version of SUP, he loves to explore lake shorelines, mellow winding rivers, and maze-like coastal waters. He is a active supporter of the whitewater SUP community in the Southeast and hopes to continue growing interest in the sport in throughout the Valley. In addition to being a experienced paddle board guide and instructor, David is a certified PADI Divemaster scuba diver. He is a proud Honduran immigrant and is also a U.S. Air Force Veteran.Certifications

This was my second trip out with David and it was awesome, just like the first! David is very knowledgable and loves to share his passion with other people. He makes sure each group member is enjoying their trip on the water. Can't wait to get back out on the water again soon!
