My belief is where I get my strength. When I’m struggling with something, I can go to him for help and I’m excited to share that.

BETHANY HAMILTONI could never have embraced this many people with two arms.
BETHANY HAMILTONI just try to be myself and not conform to something I’m not and just continue doing what I do. I just try not to think about the fact that I’m an inspiration for people.
BETHANY HAMILTONBoth of my parents are surfers, of course, so they understood where my passion for surfing was at and I guess they saw the talent that I had.
BETHANY HAMILTONI’m just waiting for God to tell me what to do, but whatever it is, I want to be doing something like I am doing now-serving God and helping people.
BETHANY HAMILTONGetting back on the surfboard after the [shark] attack was the hardest thing and I did it! After that, the hardest thing was my first competition.
BETHANY HAMILTONLike, with one arm I know I can surf, but competitive surfing can be really frustrating, and sometimes you don’t do as well as you want to. It can be discouraging at times. But whenever I do get frustrated, I just focus on God.
BETHANY HAMILTONGod will give us the strength to be able to handle things. I mean, you can try to do it on your own, and sometimes you can pull off some stuff, but in the long run, it’s much easier with Him by our side.
BETHANY HAMILTONYou don’t need easy, you just need possible.
BETHANY HAMILTONYour looks do not define who you are.
BETHANY HAMILTONI just love being on the ocean and being creative on the waves and the feeling you get when you’re surfing. All around it’s beautiful and fun.
BETHANY HAMILTONBesides surfing, I play tennis, volleyball, I swim, I run hills, or I do high-intensity, high-interval workouts. I’m up at 5 A.M. every day.
BETHANY HAMILTONLosing an arm is kinda lame at one point, but at the same time, so much good has come out of it.
BETHANY HAMILTONWe all need that extra friend outside of our immediate family to talk about that extra stuff you wouldn’t normally talk to your parents about.
BETHANY HAMILTONLife is full of what-ifs. You can’t let it hold you back. If you do, you’re not really living at all… just kind of going through the motions with no meaning
BETHANY HAMILTONI enjoy hanging out with friends, going on hikes and playing tennis. I also enjoy Bible study and making dinners. I have a pretty mellow life away from the water.
