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
You fall off the horse and you get back on.
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
God has a lot more to give and to offer than the world has to give.
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
My only real fear was that I would not be able to surf again because I was concerned that I would not physically be able to do it. I knew that if I wasn't able to surf then my life would really change.
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
Surfing for me is more than my lifestyle it's my passion, my love and it's a part of me.
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
We all go through rough times. We have those obstacles that seem too large to overcome or that current that you never seem to swim out of. We have to decide what matters most to us - our passions.
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
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
Love God love others do your best in all you do, even if you fall short!
Bethany Hamilton
We all need that extra friend outside of our immediate family to talk about that extra stuff you wouldn't normally talk to your parents about.
Bethany Hamilton
Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you.
Bethany Hamilton
Being able to turn to Jesus after the shark attack kept me alive.
Bethany Hamilton
The paramedic whispered in my ear 'God will never leave you or forsake you.'
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.
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
My belief is where I get my strength. When I'm struggling with something, I can go to him for help and I'm excited to share that.
Bethany Hamilton
I just love being on the ocean and being creative on the waves and the feeling you get when you're surfing. All around it's beautiful and fun.
