BETHANY HAMILTONIn the end, my love for surfing helped me overcome my fear of sharks.
BETHANY HAMILTONCourage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.
BETHANY HAMILTONLife is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.
BETHANY HAMILTONCourage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.
BETHANY HAMILTONIt’s hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode wave in for the first time after the attack. I was incredibly thankful and happy inside. The tiny bit of doubt that would sometimes tell me you’ll never surf again was gone in one wave.

BETHANY HAMILTONI’m actually not star-struck… I like to give people their own space and admire them from a distance.

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 know how long I’ll be competing but I’ll always be surfing. I’ll be surfing until I’m old.
BETHANY HAMILTONThere’s no such thing as a handicap – it’s all in your head
BETHANY HAMILTONLosing an arm is kinda lame at one point, but at the same time, so much good has come out of it.
