Bethany Hamilton Bethany's Life
|
Bethany grew up next to the beach, her whole family surfed. She started surfing since she could practically stand up. She started competing in surfing competitions when she was about 5. As she grew older she also grew better at surfing until the day of the attack. In 2003 Bethany was out surfing with her friend, her dad and Bethany's dad. When the shark bit her arm off. After the attack all that was going through her head was am I going to be able to surf again? Is this it, do I have to find something else to do? Bethany was never scared of surfing again after being attacked by a shark. As she says all she can think about is if she can surf again.

Bethany started to get stronger and try to surf again. She finally got back up on her board, as she never gave and she was never scared to go back in the water. Now Bethany is now 25 years old and competing in world surfing competitions. She has a partner named Adam Dirks and they have a child together named Tobias. I strongly recommend this documentary as Bethany shows courage, bravery and determination. As she was attacked by a shark yet she still got back in the water and surfed while having one arm. Bethany is a great role model and inspiration to everyone and I believe we can all learn something from her life experiences.
