I think passion is something that’s more powerful than even love. It’s something that you’re not willing to let go of, and you’ll work really hard to make sure that stays a part of your life.

BETHANY HAMILTONYou fall off the horse and you get back on.
BETHANY HAMILTONSurfing for me is more than my lifestyle; it’s my passion, my love and it’s a part of me.
BETHANY HAMILTONLosing an arm is kinda lame at one point, but at the same time, so much good has come out of 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 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 HAMILTONI believe in Jesus Christ, and I believe He gave me the passion and determination to continue surfing. You fall off the horse, and you get back on. I had to go for it.
BETHANY HAMILTONI’m a surfer at heart. Both my parents moved to Hawaii in the 1970s, where they met and became Christians. Then they taught me and my two brothers how to love the Lord – and how to surf!
BETHANY HAMILTONI’m actually not star-struck… I like to give people their own space and admire them from a distance.
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 HAMILTONI don’t want easy, just possible.
BETHANY HAMILTONYour looks do not define who you are.
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 HAMILTONI don’t know how long I’ll be competing but I’ll always be surfing. I’ll be surfing until I’m old.
BETHANY HAMILTONLove God; love others; do your best in all you do, even if you fall short!
BETHANY HAMILTONGod has a lot more to give and to offer than the world has to give.
