    Now finally you told us the story about your life before being a videographer! These bits of personal info make your videos... well personal. Like watching a friend. Looking forward for the next episode. All the best!

    Thanks for taking us with you on your pilgrimage to windsurfing Mekka.

    This is exactly the kind of travelogue that is devoured by your followers… A personal, honest and interesting story while filming the surroundings. You know how to capture the atmosphere well Paul. This will be another beautiful travel and event report! Greetings from the land of the Gazelle factory. Oh yes, Mauii is really great! And expensive so here’s a free coffee ☕️ 👍🏼

    You are such an entertainer! Last video was just mesmerizing: footage was great but the production was gold. Thanks for bringing such good content live and make us dream.
    I’ve heard Maui is super expensive, so one coffee or beer is on me Paul! ☕️🍻
    Enjoy your stay 🏝️

    US Customs can really mess you up if they think you are working and earning income without all of the supporting paperwork, and send you back. Glad you got in, it was not guaranteed! Thanks for sharing your story. Looking forward to hopefully awesome conditions and amazing videos and event commentary.

    Love the Films Paul! Cool can’t wait too follow the story while you are on Maui, love all the behind the scenes and your back story. You will be sitting down at Hookipa watching the action with a cold beer all the best from UK🤙

  • @Wacoal34d
    @Wacoal34d 3 місяці тому +4

    The way you put this trip in the context of your life, the back story, is excellent. I always suspected that you had business success in your past. To have succeeded in two fields is inspiring. There is nothing like a night drive on Australian country roads to inspire introspection. Maui is a magical place, I am feeling jealous.

  • @fabulon3188
    @fabulon3188 3 місяці тому +6

    That’s great Paul.
    I’ve been a long time follower.
    You’re a great story. I remember the video you did outside your place in Sydney when you left.
    It was late afternoon when you did it and It all seemed so bleak and uncertain. I must admit, I was concerned about you and what lay ahead.
    It’s great to see where you are now and that you’re doing what you love.
    I admire you and what you’ve done. If nothing else, your work inspires this 52 year old 9 to fiver to get off my butt and get onto the water so that I can keep my mental health in order.
    Enjoy your time over there and all the best for whatever lies ahead.

    Stoked that you've found windsurfing again. I was a passionate windsurfer all throughout the 80's until '94 when I moved to the Colorado Rockies. I started again last year after 29 years away. I am now planning a spring trip to sail either Bonaire, Porto Pollo or Lake Garda.

  • @juliofaustino8953

    Interesting to hear a bit of background info, especially for a dutch windsurfer who grew up near Dieren (sorry to hear Gazelle pulled a fast one on you) and also lived in Geraldton for a while. Enjoy Maui! 🤙

    Firstly there's drone footage, then there's drone footage by someone with a good eye like you. Secondly, from many trips there, getting off the plane on Maui and smelling the ocean in the terminal never gets old. Thirdly I loved Gazelle race bikes way back - when they used to build them. Shame they stopped making regular bikes but probably yet another miscue in addition to their Australian distribution debacle. Fourth, always have your paperwork for US Customs and Border Protection. Fifth, don't wait another 34 years :)

  • @stevemagnuson7051
    @stevemagnuson7051 3 місяці тому +5

    Thanks for sharing your backstory with us. Just a heads up. You may be geo-fenced at Hookipa due to the proximity to the airport. Also, the customs guy had no idea what he was talking about. You don’t need a letter from anyone to fly your drone. We do have a drone pilots license here for commercial work only. It’s called a Part 107 license. Just stick to the story that it’s for recreational use only. I think the hard part will be to get past the geo fence. Hookipa is within the inner circle of a class C airport, which is Kahalui.

    So let me get this straight - you live in what seems to be a windsurfing paradise and you still want to go to Maui... But I guess listening to your explanations it all makes sense. Also: US customs... ☹
