This girl is missing one arm, but strength of spirit enough for seven people.

American Bethany Hamilton was born in Hawaii, so since childhood is addicted to surfing. She literally did not miss my beloved Board and aspired to be a professional surfer.

By age 13, she was already a winner of many competitions in this sport in different age categories. But suddenly it happened.





During Halloween in 2013, Bethany along with his friends went to sea to catch a wave off the coast of his native Kauai. When she rested, lying on the Board and dangling my hands in the water, she was attacked by a 4-metre tiger shark. Girl lost her left arm to the shoulder. Friends helped get her to shore and administered first aid, tourniquet. However, the injury was very serious and Bethany lost 60% of blood.

All we can do is only to admire!

 


Yet, she survived, although a long time spent in the hospital. Anyone in this situation would despair and never approached even close to the sea. But Bethany was born a fighter. She overcame the fear and within a month after discharge from the hospital was back on Board.

Next year she won a national Championships in surfing. And in 2009, came to the podium of the world championship among juniors.

The difficulties of his life, Bethany wrote the book "soul Surfer: true story faith, family, and the struggle for the return to the Board." This work is even filmed in 2011.



 

Two years ago she married a youth pastor Adam Dirks. And recently, the family has a beautiful boy whom they named Tobias. Tellingly, even during pregnancy Bethany did not part with his beloved surfboard.published
