However, did you know what it means? <\/p><p><b>All of us who practice surfing know that there are a series of rituals that, over time, have been passed down from generation to generation<\/b>. Things that we know are there, although perhaps we have never asked ourselves why they happen that way. <\/p><p><b>One of those is the Shaka greeting, a Hawaiian expression that was used for decades in the surfing environment<\/b>, which is still valid today, not only in that area, but also in many others. That is, we see it as a synonym of beach and fun, but the reality is that it is applied in many other sports and circumstances. <\/p><p><b>For example, soccer players usually celebrate their goals by making the gesture, as in the case<\/b> <b>of Brazil&#8217;s Neymar<\/b>. However, we also use the expression ourselves in different areas of life. So, what is the story behind this greeting?  <\/p><blockquote><p>If you like surfing, check this out: <a title=\"Surf camp Lanzarote\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lanzarotesurf.com\/surf-camp\/\">Surf Camp in Lanzarote<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><h2>The origin of the Shaka, the surfing salute<\/h2><p><b>The first thing to clarify is that the origins of this greeting are not very clear.<\/b> However, the truth is that, as happens with things that we do not have much evidence, there are several hypotheses to explain this phenomenon. <\/p><p><b>Some of them lie in the fact that it was used to count the number 6 with the hand in the businesses of the Chinese merchants who lived in Polynesia<\/b>, until it was later introduced in the islands by the Spanish navigators to be able to &#8220;drink something&#8221;. In other words, a symbol of having a good time on the beach, something that the surfers themselves adopted as a synonym for the joy of being on the waves. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-512e7e68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"512e7e68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/lanzarotesurf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cristian-palmer-RaOKzBtN8fI-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2886\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lanzarotesurf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cristian-palmer-RaOKzBtN8fI-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/lanzarotesurf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cristian-palmer-RaOKzBtN8fI-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lanzarotesurf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cristian-palmer-RaOKzBtN8fI-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lanzarotesurf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cristian-palmer-RaOKzBtN8fI-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lanzarotesurf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cristian-palmer-RaOKzBtN8fI-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lanzarotesurf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cristian-palmer-RaOKzBtN8fI-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1c569b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f1c569b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Another possibility leads us to meet a popular Hawaiian waterman, which is known as Hamana Kalili<\/b>.

Lippy Espinda, a car salesman, used the gesture and uttered the phrase Shaka Bradah! Another important story is that it comes from Shark eye. That is, this popular gesture that involves opening the hand by extending the little finger and thumb represented the head of a shark, which meant a compliment, as the animal is respected in the region.   <\/p><h3>The importance of Shaka<\/h3><p><b>Be that as it may, the Shaka is the coolest and most relaxed greeting on the planet<\/b>.

Barack Obama, for example, used to wave that way, since he was born in those lands.   <\/p><p>Come to our <a title=\"Surf camp Famara\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lanzarotesurf.com\/surf-camp\/\">surf camp in Famara<\/a> and learn more about all this by living it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-566fdb15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"566fdb15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>So, to do this surf salute, what you will need to do is to hold your hand in a fist<\/b>.
