Mensore@Hard Reef

125

The drive to the beach this morning was kind of weird.  When I took the turn up the street, the sky looked like it was on fire!

No photoshop or no filters.  This is what I saw with my own eyes.  I stopped my car in the middle of the street to take this photo.  These are the winter sunrises we get.  So love winter!   Waves were smaller than yesterday but it doesn’t matter when you’re flying on the foil.

Thank you Kimura-san for sending me these photos from the Hard Reef Party!  I wish I could have joined you guys.  I’m so jealous…

Lucky you got to hang out with the coolest girls, Judy-chan and Miwa-san.  Miss you girls.  Oh, and miss you too Kimura-san.  Haha.

Kazubo-san is the life of any party.  He will make you laugh so much that you will cry.  Congratulations Kazubo-san for 32 years of Hard Reef.  When I met you 23 years ago at Hard Reef, I fell in love with your mensore spirit.  Hope to visit you soon.

I’m guessing this was the afterparty at Hard Reef?  That painting on the wall is my absolute favorite painting in the world.  I would love to have a wall like that painted in my house with all my friend around the world.  Priceless…

The best medicine for a hangover in Okinawa is Vitamin Sea.  It must have felt great!
