Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.

BETHANY HAMILTONPeople can do whatever they want if they just set their heart to it, and just never give up, and just go out there and do it.
BETHANY HAMILTONI guess I just like to challenge myself and push myself harder to do things that I dont think I can, to do things that other people do not think I can. It pushes me. I push my own personal limits.
BETHANY HAMILTONIt’s easy to look at the things of this world to solve our challenges and obstacles in life, but when we submit our lives to Christ, His grace, mercy, peace and love will bring true fulfillment to our lives.
BETHANY HAMILTONMy favorite thing [about surfing] is being creative on waves; it’s like an art form. You can do whatever you want on that wave if you work hard at it and just have fun out there.
BETHANY HAMILTONI don’t want easy, just possible.
BETHANY HAMILTONStrive to find things to be thankful for and just look for the good in who you are!
BETHANY HAMILTONTo lose your everyday life of surfing and being creative on waves, enjoying the ocean – that’s scary to me. It was essential to at least try surfing again and get out there and see how it went.
BETHANY HAMILTONYou fall off the horse and you get back on.
BETHANY HAMILTONThere’s no such thing as a handicap – it’s all in your head
BETHANY HAMILTONI wouldn’t change what happened to me because then I wouldn’t have this chance, in front of all of you, to embrace more people than I ever could have with two arms.
BETHANY HAMILTONI think it doesn’t matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I’m going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It’s not all about competing and being the best. It’s more about having fun and just doing what you love.
BETHANY HAMILTONLove God; love others; do your best in all you do, even if you fall short!
BETHANY HAMILTONCompassion can drive us to do amazing things and give us perspective.
BETHANY HAMILTONSurfing is very special and unique. It’s really hard to explain unless you’ve tried it. It’s being out in the ocean in the sun, the water on your skin, and the adrenalin rush when you catch a wave. You have to be creative so it’s like an art form in a way.
BETHANY HAMILTONI’m actually not star-struck… I like to give people their own space and admire them from a distance.
