bodyboarding question...plese help
This may be a stupid question, but it's been on my mind for ages. What i want to know is what is the hand guesture that mostly all the
pro bodyboarders use. I've seen it everywhere, it seems like bodyboarders use it. If you watch the bodyboarding video Metaphyzical by
Redefynd, then you will see that almost every bodyboarder does this hand guesture...and i don't even know what it means! 
It looks exactly the same as when you do the sign for "ring me", but i know it must mean something else. Can anyone help?
The hand giesture i'm talking about is in the picture below:

It is a Hawaiian thing that means 'Hang Loose'
It's a friendly greeting amongst watermen of all sports!
Cheers

Cheers Sinister! What do you think "hang loose" means? Does it sort of mean respect or hello or what?
Anyway, no that is not me in the picture, i got the image off google image search ("bodyboarder"). So no it's not me. Unfortunately i
don't have a digital camera or scanner. So i can't put pictures/photos on the internet which are mine.
Cheers for clearing that hand guesture up.
Airborne.
