Bethany Hamilton is a portrait of persistence and determination, rebounding from a devastating shark attack to become one of the best surfers on the planet. When she was only 13, she survived an assault that resulted in her losing her arm.
A mere three weeks later, she returned to the ocean on her surfboard, overcoming her injury and whatever trepidations that might occur when one loses an arm to a shark. Determined to not let it define her, she worked relentlessly to adapt to her new circumstances, eventually becoming a surfing champion. Her latest acts of awesome have her riding atop wicked waves and frolicking in the ocean while six months pregnant. Recently, she and her husband welcomed their new child, Tobias, into the world.
