Both 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.

More quotes by Bethany Hamilton
Compassion can drive us to do amazing things and give us perspective.
Bethany Hamilton
It'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 Hamilton
I gave my heart to Jesus when I was five-years-old and since then it's been a special relationship. To me it's not a religion it's just talking to God, reading his word, and doing my best to honor him in everything I do.
Bethany Hamilton
Our health and well-being is something that we can almost control, to a certain extent. We can choose to eat healthy, we can choose to think positively, and we can choose to have good posture. All this stuff makes a difference, and the way that you look and feel, and your confidence.
Bethany Hamilton
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.
Bethany Hamilton
Surfing for me is more than my lifestyle it's my passion, my love and it's a part of me.
Bethany Hamilton
There's no such thing as a handicap - it's all in your head
Bethany Hamilton
I think sharks are beautiful creatures, and I don't think we should stop going in the ocean because of them. You drive down the road and you get in an accident, but most people end up driving down the road again. Surfing is you're going into their home and it's just a natural part of life.
Bethany Hamilton
Learning how to deal with people and their reactions to my life is one of the most challenging things... people staring at me, people asking rude questions, dealing with media, stuff like that.
Bethany Hamilton
Love is bigger then a tsunami, stronger then any fear.
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.
Bethany Hamilton
Life 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 Hamilton
It's sad to hear that 1 in 3 girls have an eating disorder, because they're trying to be something that they think they need to be, when it's such a lie that they believe. 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.
Bethany Hamilton
God has a lot more to give and to offer than the world has to give.
Bethany Hamilton
That's really what ultimately matters - the emotions and feelings that you experienced and people around [whom] you experienced [them].
Bethany Hamilton
Getting 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 Hamilton
I 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.
Bethany Hamilton
In the end, my love for surfing helped me overcome my fear of sharks.
Bethany Hamilton
Love God love others do your best in all you do, even if you fall short!
