Hang loose !!!

Big Island, Hawaii
 
One of the new things I learned while at Hawaii is the "Hang loose" sign. It involves extending your thumb and little finger while curling the middle 3 fingers, raising and rotating the hand back and fourth.






It is used by locals as a way of greeting or to say "hang loose" or "cool" or "relax". As we drove through the remote areas of Big Island,  kids on the street side greeted us with this sign. Swetha and Shreya with the Luau dancers showing the Hang loose sign.
