  • Today we sit down with professional surfer Bethany Hamilton to discuss the protection of women's sports, her surfing career, childbirth and standing up for the pro-life cause. Bethany lost her arm in a shark attack when she was just 13 years old, and overcame not just relearning how to surf with one arm, but how to compete again and win. She explains how her experience being launched into the public eye led her to share her relationship with Jesus. We talk about her decision to speak out against the World Surf League, which recently allowed men to compete in women's competitions, and the fallout of essentially being blacklisted by them.

    My daughter wrote Bethany letters and sent her a tee shirt, asking her to sign it, telling Bethany how her story helped her overcome her fears. Bethany wrote back, and signed the shirt and sent it back. I was amazed, impressed and grateful for her taking the time to do that, when she must have gotten thousands of letters! My daughter, Teresa, also sent her a necklace because she was so grateful!

    When Beth innocently said, "Why are we even talking about this?" I was immediately reminded of The Emperor Has No Clothes. That's exactly what this is. We're being asked, really demanded, every single day, to deny reality and to just lie. I will NEVER do it.

      There needs to be accountability and I'm so glad that Bethany was alluding to this matter in the interview. We all are in it and can make the change if we become more vocal for our girls and women

    Bethany is a class act ! Just a wonderful mother and friend & I can’t come up with a single bad thing to say .. she hates talking. About the shark attack though ! I train adaptive athletes and have met her more then a few times ! Her charities are endless and wonderful .. it was a dumb move to get rid of Bethany and think it was going to fly with actual female athlete’s ! Let alone Christian ones .. god knows her story and he knows how it ends and she is not finished yet !

    I am similar to Bethany but with snowboarding… and I had a serious spinal cord injury when I was 16, I was snowboarding again by 17. You can’t understand the “why” until it’s your lifestyle.
    I’d never tell a lady to start working out hard, surfing, snowboarding, or climbing when she is pregnant but if you’re advanced or beyond in skill, go for it. I was rock climbing and snowboarding until 7-8 months with my pregnancies.

    I know little about pro surfing, but as a fan of pro cycling, I can say that women's races are drawing more male fans than ever, bigger events and fierce competition, and everyone is seeing a surge of interest in women's basketball with the recent college season and the all-star cast of new WNBA players led by Caitlin Clark. And it is women who are making that happen, their play and their teamwork and their personalities and a healthy athletic vibe. And as a fan and a viewer and a man, I cannot understand why any women's league would suddenly redefine itself and its product as this women's surfing league has done. It is a shock to its most famous competitor, Bethany, and to her fans and I admire anyone who paddles into the middle of the ocean to ride a wave back to the beach. And I've seen kids in Hawaii way out there in the water, splashing around like they're in a water park and bobbing up and down as they wait for the ocean to serve them a tasty wave.

    I have loved Bethany ever since I was 10-11. I’ve always thought she was so awesome, and she’s even more awesome now for standing up against these things. It’s absolutely disgusting that men pretending to be women can compete in women’s sports. It’s just their way of getting an easy medal. They don’t care that it’s wrong. More of us really do need to stand up against this propaganda. Bethany is amazing, and I will continue to look up to her, and strive to be more like her.

    I’m disappointed along with you, Bethany. Thank you for being courageous in speaking out. God has used your obedience. ❤

    Yes, Bethany Hamilton liked my post on Instagram because of the prolife diaper company she was promoting. She is God's blessing!!
