Bethany Hamilton well your probably thinking who is she and what does she do? Well thats where I come in I will tell you all of this now on this page.

Bethany Hamilton has become a great inspiration to millions of people. She bors born into a family full of surfers and entered her first surfing comp at only age eight. She won both races.

At age 13 on halloween the 31st October 2003 she was bitten by a tiger shark. That 14 foot tiger shark ripped her arm off. You would think that would be the end of her future surfing career before it had even started, but no. This is why she is a heroe she never gave up. She past her surgery and recovery, just one month after the attack she was back surfing.

Just about a year after the accident she came 1st place in the Explorer Women’s division in the

2005 National Championships which earned her, her first National Title of many.

So you see heroes don't just give up if the fall back the continue with the same determination and will power as in the beggining. She is a heroe people look up to her.
