What is a shaka?

[@soundninja09]

Psh.....someone is salty........ Being critical about the 'Okina? Really? Think about it, how could we have a sign that has an 'okina? No one would see it. Yes, Kam has a good band, but don't call our band weaksauce, doesn't make you look good.

WEAKSAUCE. kamehameha shoulda went. aloha 'oe is our signature. and it's a little sad that their "Aloha Hawai'i" sign was spelled INCORRECTLY. everyone knows Hawai'i has an 'OKINA. guaranz kamehameha woulda spelled it correctly. huh. whateverrs. haha how's obama throwing shaka. that's why he's the best president in the history of forever.
