Overview

Surfer Bethany Hamilton’s story starts in Kauai, Hawaii where she was raised in a family that loved the ocean and she learned to swim before she learned to walk, and formed a passion for surfing at a young age. By the time Bethany was a teenager she was already starting to make a name for herself in the surfing world. But, on October 31, 2003, while surfing off the coast of Oahu, she suffered an attack from a fourteen foot tiger shark and lost her left arm. But Bethany’s spirit was unbroken. Despite the fact that weeks after the attack, Bethany was back in the water, and did not want to cease surfing. But, Bethany’s resilience and determination was rewarded when she won her first national surfing title in 2005. Since then Bethany has competed in many professional surfing competitions and her courage and perseverance has inspired people all over the world. Bethany’s story was made into a movie in 2011, the film Soul Surfer, and the story of her life and recovery was shown to a wider public. The film helped to establish her as a global inspiration and spread her message of hope and perseverance to a larger audience. In addition to her professional surfing career, Bethany is a motivational speaker who shares her story of overcoming the adversities of life and living a purposeful life. She has the ability to engage her audience and challenge them to be courageous and face their own challenges as she has, which has made her a very popular speaker at corporate events, schools, and nonprofit organizations.
