Bethany Hamilton: Christian Faith, Bio & Quotes

Bethany Hamilton is a professional surfer from Lihue, Hawaii who has overcome many trials with God in the forefront. When she was just 13 years old she experienced a terrible accident that most people never encounter. While surfing the morning of October 31, 2003 with her best friend Alana Blanchard and Alana’s brother and father, she nearly lost her life when, in a split second without warning, a tiger shark sheared off her left arm and part of her surf board. The quick thinking actions of Alana’s dad in trying to control the bleeding and getting her to the hospital saved her life. Every second that passed put her in a more critical condition. By the time she arrived at the hospital she had lost more than 60% of her blood. She pulled through and made a full recovery. Bethany had been surfing since she was four years old, so she wasn’t a newbie to looking out for sharks while gliding through the water.
