More quotes by Bethany Hamilton
My 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.

Meanwhile all over the world there's people that are starving or dying of something crazy that we forget, and we think we're the only ones in this world.

Surfing 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 Hamilton
Fear is something that can really hold us all back from different things in life. It's important to notice what your fears are and try to conquer them.
Bethany Hamilton
None of us are going to have perfect lives. Our own vision of what we think is good maybe different from what He [God] thinks. And we forget that. We think we know what's best and we don't.
Bethany Hamilton
I 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 Hamilton
Being able to turn to Jesus after the shark attack kept me alive.
Bethany Hamilton
People 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 Hamilton
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.
Bethany Hamilton
Compassion can drive us to do amazing things and give us perspective.
Bethany Hamilton
I don't know how long I'll be competing but I'll always be surfing. I'll be surfing until I'm old.
Bethany Hamilton
It was what God had taught me growing up that helped me overcome my fear and get back on the board. 'Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go' (Joshua 1:9).
Bethany Hamilton
Being out there in the ocean, God's creation, it's like a gift He has given us to enjoy.
