Bluhumun Shaka Brah Unisex Short Sleeve T-Shirt

The shaka sign is the famous surfers' hand gesture. The story of the popular sign goes back to the roots of Hawaiian culture. Shaka brah!

The strongest clue to its origin refers to Hamana Kalili of Laie (June 18, 1882 - December 17, 1958), a Hawaiian fisherman from the town of Laie who lost three middle fingers from his right hand during an accident at the old Kahuku Sugar Mill.

When the surf culture grew and spread through California and America during the 1960s, this new body gesture was picked up by enthusiasts.

Surfers from Hawaii and Polynesia started saluting fellow wave riders and friends with an original hand sign – Shaka Brah.

Surfers adopted it everywhere, and before long, the original shaka had an alternative nickname: Hang Loose.

The surf sign prevailed and expanded into Europe, Oceania, Asia, and Africa; the shaka gesture was adopted by an increasing number of water sports enthusiasts, and the star system also started doing it.

And when the president of the United States of America - Barack Obama - started throwing shakas, the trend conquered the world.

But what's the real meaning of shaka? In fact, it can mean many positive things.

"Hi," "Thank You," "All Right," "See You," "Peace," "Goodbye," "Take Care," and "Chill Out" or “Hanging,”are some of the daily reasons for delivering shakas.
