She's a huge inspiration to me! After seeing her overcome her fear of sharks I've decided not to let epilepsy hold me back in life and am going back to college next semester.
Eva Boebel I have epilepsy as well so I know how you feel and sometimes can be a worry especially if you have a Ora whether your at home driving with your kids whatever! Bethany Hamilton is a true inspiration for sure! Never let epilepsy get you down for whatever reason we have it the Lord still has a plan for us always!
I am to and I will forever have epilepsy but I get why u would have fears and especially if you drive and have one it is my worst fear and why I don't want to drive at my age right now
Eva Boebel but u could be like Cameron Boyce was I didn't know he had epilepsy because u couldn't see it in him while he was acting I only found out he did when I heard he died from a seizure in July last year
Growing up in Hawaii (even on the other islands), everyone knew Bethany as the surfer girl who lost her arm in a shark attack and went back to becoming a surf champion, but we never really knew much about her beyond that. I watched Soul Surfer the other day and I cried over her resilience and positivity. My exact words to my husband were, “she cannot be THAT perfect” and his response was “movies.” After watching and hearing more about her and learning everything they say she did and how she is portrayed is true, I realize she really is as perfect as they make her out to be. There are many people who have overcome obstacles, but it was Bethany’s attitude in how she faced her challenges is what makes her one of the truly rare pure souls. I’m speechless. Honestly didn’t think people like this even existed. I’m not religious and roll my eyes whenever people try to preach to me religion while it is being used to justify horrendous acts. But Bethany’s faith embraces everything positive.
I remember the day when she lost her arm, I was so sad for her. She definitely is a brave, strong and beautiful woman. I don't know if I would get back in the water after that shark attack, kudos to her 🖒
This girl is so amazing with such a beautiful story to share. She found strength she never knew she possessed to overcome what she did. Her shark attack was definitely life changing. But it didn’t stop her. Bethany is such an inspiration to people. Just watching the movie soul surfer makes me want to keep trying.
I believe the obvious and enevidable should hold us back. What happened to her was wrong place wrong time. I'm sorry for what happened to her but it happens. Its special effects she survived but the attack is nothing new. The person she is is what help her servived.
Great story , I respect her so much, who wouldn't? I remember hearing about this in the news , god always has a plan for special people , glad she got passed this and is able to have a happy life , she's beautiful ❤
February 29, 2020- To Bethany Hamilton- From me--- No matter what... God still love you.. I am glad you survived the attack... I can't still believe that you can still surf without arms... You are very brave and strong. You are still amazing beautiful gorgeous. I have watched your movies.. I was crying in tears. It was very sad... But you don't let your life down. No matter what other stupid people say to you in negative ways... Forget about them... Ignore them.. Your dreams will not die.. Be strong and stay safe and have some fun...…. God bless you Bethany.... Love you lots....
She's is huge inspiration for womas! Even though she faced a lot of difficult in her life she get back to the ocean and brought hope to the people that we're going through a time feeling hopeless. She reflects power, courage and love. The biggest lesson of this video is "Not get knowed down by the hard things in life that's gonna come in our way because all of us face to difficult time".
Bethany is pure heaven. Her heart and beauty within is out of this world ❤️. On the other hand, the host isn’t nice at all. She is clearly envious of Bethany’s pure love and family.
just watched your movie soul surfer . You are truly inspiring!!! You have more strength and courage then people with two arms . How u you overcame . With the beautiful smile you keep on your face in every interview i see . All the while inspiring others and giving hope . god bless you in your life . You are truly amazing .
i watched the movie about her 3 or 4 years ago it was hard to watch still tell this day it makes me sad and i know the movie will be on my mind all day like it was the first time watching it i watched with my mom and than again i think by myself her story the real bethany and movie was so heartfelt, tearful, strong, inspirational, determined and brave she seems like a sweet, beautiful and wholesome woman after all she went through she deserves the world my prayers and heart goes out to her
Loved, Loved, Loved this interview. Thank you, Bethany, for continuing to share your amazing story. You encourage so many of us to trust in God's plan for us and to be grateful for the gifts we have.
Today I watched your movie! All my life I wanted to be a Fighter Pilot to follow in my uncles life who retired as a general Flying the F-16 fighting falcon. Unfortunately when I was 13 my uncle told me that I was to tall which is a nick name but my next thing I wanted to do was race motocross! In 1999 I became the 1st and only rider to go from beginning to pro in under 1 year unfortunately on 1/20/01 my throttle stuck wide open while I was jumping a huge jump which launched me over 90/100 feet and I stabbed the face of another jump 140 feet away! I broke my right femur and right tibia and shattered my right ankle also I shattered my left knee which I have a paralyzed left foot that I can push down but can’t pull up! I trained every day for motocross/ supercross/Freestyle Motocross while skim boarding which gave me a huge advantage which in 2000 I had an editor from Surf magazine tell me that I was one out of three known people who could surf a skim board! Well I started to walk for my 1st time on 9/11/01 which my uncle who was a general was in the pentagon but I took each day one at a time which 9 months after I had my accident I got a recall on the throttle being a bad design! After enduring a lot I decided to settle for a half a million 500,000$ which my lawyer really got over me but I purchased an 07’ KTM 250 SX 2 Stroke which by that time people thought that 4 Strokes were faster an on a practice day Factory Suzuki pulled up to my local track we’re I got a phone call from the track manager which wanted to see if Suzuki’s #1 racer could race me! I proved everything I needed to prove because he blew his 50,000$ Pro Circut motor all within 4/5 laps plus he was a world champion but I beat him with ease. Your movie really inspired me to race again or ride again after proving that I’m the fastest motocross racer in the world. 👀💕🏆🏁🇺🇸❤️😎🥇😍
Watching this interview in 2021 and thinking about a few things: 1. People who have retained the sweetness and innocence of their youth intimidate and annoy people who are jaded as is obvious with the interviewers demeanor. 2.She proved she could do it better than the others with one less arm than them, and then proved you do not have to stop doing what you love as a woman just because you have given birth. Then she went on to show that winning contests/getting ahead isn't what fills the void in life. Helping people and loving God and others is what does it. When you value the things that have eternal meaning you see the futility in things like power, money and vanity.
✝️🌹✝️🌹🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸You are an awesome Godly woman Bethany and the fact that you are a mom of two kids married to a Youth Pastor; a very Godly man 🌹✝️🇺🇸✝️🌹✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have a very strong testimony of God, and my beliefs. Unfortunately not all of my kids share the same feelings, and beliefs. All I can do for them is maintain my ground, and share with them how I feel, and why. My faith is what has helped me get through so many trials in my life.
Her story demonstrates her determination and overcoming many obstacles. Quite inspirational. Unfortunately, it also underscores a simple fact: there are few places on this planet where animals can exist free from human intervention. She had her arm dangling in ocean waters, where there is still some marine life, and it was bitten off by a tiger shark, doing what sharks do. The shark was judged “aggressive” and caught and killed. Like walking in bear country, swimming where gators are found, feeding the tigers in their enclosure…the wild animal is blamed, a measure of revenge is sought, and the animal is killed. That is an unfortunate aspect of stories like this.
I support you ironclad Bethany on your stance about it being physically and biologically unfair for natural women to compete with natural men in female athletic competitions. I’m with you Beth, GET SOME on those waves. I was too uncoordinated to get up on a surfboard.
Funny Farm Sometimes people don’t know how to react to trauma etc. we can give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she’s uncomfortable and is finding it difficult to understand how this courageous woman can be so positive in her life!!! We don’t really know what the interviewer is feeling.
She's a huge inspiration to me! After seeing her overcome her fear of sharks I've decided not to let epilepsy hold me back in life and am going back to college next semester.
Eva Boebel I have epilepsy as well so I know how you feel and sometimes can be a worry especially if you have a Ora whether your at home driving with your kids whatever! Bethany Hamilton is a true inspiration for sure! Never let epilepsy get you down for whatever reason we have it the Lord still has a plan for us always!
Eva Boebel I was an Epileptic when I was little also. I finally out grew it!!
I am to and I will forever have epilepsy but I get why u would have fears and especially if you drive and have one it is my worst fear and why I don't want to drive at my age right now
Eva Boebel but u could be like Cameron Boyce was I didn't know he had epilepsy because u couldn't see it in him while he was acting I only found out he did when I heard he died from a seizure in July last year
@@bkhall5139 Who are you to judge me? At least Cameron Boyce still tried to pursue his dreams.
I love this kid... she never complained, she got back in the water went pro.. has the drive that 95% of people dont have. True professional.
Let me guess you one of the 95%
Aww she has two babies now. So happy for you Bethany. You are such a strong role model for the youth of America.
Now three
This girl is a hero

I'm not kidding you, I could be down in the dumps and about 1/2 through the movie I get motivated everytime.
👏🏼👏🏼

Nothing should hold us back, she's inspiring. Beautiful soul.

The host is not even liking it, you can tell. You go Bethany! You are God's beautiful inspiration. May God bless you and family in all you do
what’s wrong with the host?
@@babykicker4197 shes not into it nor interested...
She didn't seem uninterested to me.
@@bracesforme3 look at her expression on her face. not expression of enthusiasm for the sport or her guest , that what it seems to me...
I noticed that too. What a B!
You're an inspiration and your optimism resonates
Bethany is pure heaven. Her heart and beauty within is out of this world ❤️. On the other hand, the host isn’t nice at all. She is clearly envious of Bethany’s pure love and family.

Wow! She look like holly Holmes from the UFC😀!

I love soul surfer😍
“Oh my gosh”
Wow

She looks like a sexier Holly Holm😂
when i saw the thumbnail, I thought it was her too
Damn I just wrote that😂
my 11 yr old thinks she look a lot like Holly Holms as well
Smile, Articulate, Impress, Gush over Adam Tobias and new son(anyone know his name). God and Water beasts, sound familiar?
Hi
She is sooo cute
Like oh my god!!! Like, that shark was like, totally tubular dude! Yeah, like my hair is like, blonde! Omg!
She keeps talking about God.
Good thing too, we need more people talking about our Creator. That’s how we get on the right track.
God is so good.
And? So what?
Well you would be too if you’re survived a shark attack dune Koff
I really Hate Sharks! This is exactly why I don't go surfing
