Here are some photos from the last Hawaii Cup held in July of 1983. The contest was a no show due to Sandberg and others deciding an anti fake contest was more fun. I always blame myself for that as that idea came up after I started skating (I should’ve held back, hahaha). Whatever the reason for the no contest we had a great time nevertheless. Enjoy the pics and once again, Thanks Anders Svensson for sharing a piece of history with us.
