Congratulations to Eric Lazar, who won a championship in the Virtual Adaptive Surfing Championships that originated from South Africa. Lazar said with the Kaua‘i Ocean Recreation Experience closed because of the COVID-19, he entered the contest that attracted contestants from South Africa, Australia, England and the United States with four rides made at the cloudline across from St. Theresa Church in Kekaha. He also entered the Accessurf Online Adaptive Surf (he finished seventh, last year) Photo Contest, and is still waiting to hear the results.

Eric was cruising outside Jamba Juice Friday at Kukui Grove Center when Tiffany Dick and her combined classes from Aloha Dance Studio opened the first of three Freaky Fridays near the Keiki Korner (it’s still closed) play area. Tiffany said Friday’s theme was centered around Disney characters, next week is “Ghostbusters,” and the Oct. 30 event will feature the zombies of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”
There’s still time to get a deal on the new Papalani Gelato’s butterbeer flavor during the Harry Potter weekend that ends at 6 p.m. today at the Poipu Shopping Village. Can always have dinner at Pietro’s.
Kudos to the Department of Water (Jonell Kaohelauli‘i was working remotely), which has been doing the dress-in-pink thing on Fridays in support of one of their associates as well as marking October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Kudos to Edie Ignacio Neumiller of the Kaua‘i County Committee on the Status of Women for sparking the idea.
Sunday is also the last day (they close Monday) for the opening celebration from Udi Gal and Jo Lesoine of the Big Blue Kaua‘i Local (is the Weenie Wahine open?) from 11 a.m. in Kapa‘a.
