Wayde's World Hawaii is in transition... 

It's EXCITING NEWS as our TOURS are Growing!

  

As our Tours take up more and more of our time on Oahu reaching the other islands seems more out of reach until we can make enough money from the tours to create a full clothing line...once doing so we will get the merchandising line up on the website with "THE SHACK" page sometime in 2013. With that money, like I have said many times, I will use those funds to reach Maui for a Month of non-stop shooting, but something may be on the HORIZON that will allow The Poor Man Crew to do much more then reaching MAUI...IF WE LAND THIS...EVERYTHING CHANGES...and the possibilities are endless across the Hawaiian Island Chain for you and for the Poor Mans Guide to Hawaii!!!

God willing if this comes to pass...I will be doing something I have always wanted to do...

I will keep everyone posted on this news if it BREAKS! Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE and I will continue to get this done on my end...

Sorry for not posting as much as I should be on this Blog. THINGS ARE JUST NUTTY CRAZY HERE and I will remain SILENT on this blog until major changes come to pass allow me more time to post.

Aloha Nui Loa everyone, Mahalos for your support!

The HARD WORK has PAID OFF with our FIRST NEW VIDEO RELEASE with the CANON G1X and GLIDECAM 100HD

"HO'OMALUHIA BOTANICAL GARDEN"

                It has been a JOURNEY!

  

Learning the CANON G1X HYBRID and GLIDECAM 1000HD has been intense, but it's been a pleasure...it's always amazing when hard work pays off and when you have a GREAT CO-HOST like Sue Li. Together we really do make a great team. Hopefully for many, many videos to come we will be able to work together and expand the WWH BRAND.

I remember going to HO'OMALUHIA for the first time back in 1995. It was a wondrous place...a place to get lost, a place to discover, a place to find yourself...A place to meditate and re-energize your soul. When here, you forget all sense of time, home seems so far away and your dreams over take you.  When here, you are free...free to roam, free to dream, free to be.

Every time I come here I discover something new. The next time here always feels like the first time...I know if you get the chance to come here, you as well will discover something beautiful and new, not only about your surroundings, but about yourself.

DA BUIDLING PROCESS of DA WWH POOR MAN TOURS

  

We are off to an AMAZING start for 2012. The Poor Mans TOUR JEEP has had it's first stage completed. We do Stage 2 this week and Stage 3 in late March. We will be Launching OFFICIAL TOURS in JUNE. The POOR MAN TOURS Webpage should be up in Late MAY to start taking reservations for JUNE 2012! This process hasn't been easy, and it has taking a huge amount of time away from my creative side with my Videos. Sadly I am doing only one VIDEO a month and it has become a personal DISAPPOINTMENT not only for myself, but for many of you who use to enjoyed my Videos Weekly. I just don't have the funds to pay someone to film and edit my videos so I still do them myself and building the business side of WWH has taken all my time up. I promise...When things settle down with the business side and I start making a living I will hire someone and pick the videos back up to one Video every two weeks. If I don't start making some personal money from helping all of you...I won't be doing anything Wayde's World Hawaii anymore...Mahalo Nui Loa for your understanding...WE ARE GETTING THERE! Send out the POSITIVE VIBES! Aloha, Wayde

THE DIFFICULTIES OF RUNNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS

  

If running your own business was a cake walk everyone would do it instead of working for the MACHINE! I never assumed it would be easy and I never said it would be smooth sailing all the way to the top...In Fact you have NO IDEA in these tuff times how HARD and FRUSTRATING building a business can be today, unless you are crazy enough to start one these days yourself...lol. There is NO WAY in this current economy that I will have enough funds to reach and film the other islands at this time. I need to get my TOURS running and my MERCHANDISING selling. I am in the HUGE PROCESS of doing just that by dumping thousands into this! I'm taking a HUGE risk and putting it all on the line! I hope to have all this up and running on the WEBDSITE in JUNE 2012. Mahalo Nui Loa everyone for your support, sorry this BLOG has been so inactive, but don't forget I'm a one man machine and I only have two hands...lol, Shoots~Wayde

SCOUTING TRIPS TO MAUI & BIG ISLAND

THE BEAUTIFUL HAWAIIAN ISLAND CHAIN

  

I have spent the last few weekends scouting Maui and the Big Island, spending my own hard earned money with no return, it sucks that I won’t be able to do a Kauai scouting trip because of lack of funding right now. My intentions are to film all the islands over 2012, but there are serious questions as to how I will be able to do this without the financial backing.

I’m not made of money and unless I get SPONSORED or a considerable amount of DONATIONS come in from the selling of my merchandising it may become an unfortunate reality that I will be unable to film the other islands and only lay out map systems on my website...That would be a serious shame. 

After looking at the financial KILLING it would cost to spend a month on each island to film it would just brake me and put me on the streets. I love helping others, but I have been spending my own hard earned money for the past three years, I’m just not going risk a roof over my head for doing others favors. This is my personal dilemma and battle I am dealing with.

These trips has made me more stressed as I try to figure out how I can do this and still keep myself financially secure. A world without money would be a perfect world for a poor man...I'm sure most of us would give a world like that a BIG THUMBS UP! With little to nothing I was able to make the Poor Man's Guide a huge success so letting money get in the way of my passion just isn't going to work for my soul. My soul knows no boundaries and I doubt I will give in to societies bullshit of saying "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE" anytime soon. My stops on Maui and the Big Island have been some of the most beautiful. When you do it alone in the silence of your own thoughts it makes you take in each moment that much more. To sit back and breath alone with God...Don't ever tell me something's impossible...EVER! 



There are so many places on the road less traveled on the other islands...I witnessed but a blink of an eye to what they hold. I can’t even begin to count the places on my wish list to explore. I’m going to want to film so many of them and I hope I will be given that chance to do so. The pictures here on this BLOG POST are some of my stops on Maui and Big Island I saw...These places WILL be Filmed as long as I get there...after that it’s all up in the air. I never said my journey was going to be easy.

 

I also never said it was going to be cheap, but I believe in the good I’m doing and in the end I look forward with positive vibes that everything I wish to accomplish will be done. I never back down from a fight and this is going to be a battle to film these islands the way I want to...DAMN IT...I’m going to get it done!

I know now that Oahu won’t be my home forever...It is clear one of the other island will be, but I am many years away from retiring on a ranch or tree house somewhere in the middle of the rainforest on the Big Island...lol
