Why is it called a Shaka?
The name "Shaka" originates from the Hawaiian culture, where it is a customary greeting gesture. It is believed to have multiple meanings, including friendship, understanding, unity, compassion, love, and gratitude. The gesture, which involves extending the thumb and little finger while keeping the three middle fingers curled, is widely used in Hawaii and its surfing community as a way to express positive emotions and attitudes.
