Surfing for me is more than my lifestyle; it’s my passion, my love and it’s a part of me.
BETHANY HAMILTON

Lifestyle Passion Surfing

Fear Giving Mean Up
God 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.

Like, 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.
