Pass It On®
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
About This Billboard
Bethany Hamilton began surfing as a child and at age 11 participated in her first competition. Her plans of becoming a pro surfer were seemingly ended at age 13 when she was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark on October 31, 2003 while surfing near Tunnels Beach in Hawaii. She lost her left arm just below her shoulder and miraculously survived the attack.
Within months, Bethany was back on her surfboard. She continues to pursue her dream of becoming a professional surfer and has entered numerous contests. She won 5th place at the 2004 National Scholastic Surfing Association Nationals Championships, has made the finals in several other events, and has won three contests. Her determination to rise above adversity continues to inspire the people around her.
Rising Above. Pass It On!
This billboard about Rising Above features Bethany Hamilton; surfer.

Her story is very inspirational. It's hard to lose your arm doing what you love. But it's even harder to get back up and keep doing it, especially when your 13! Hopefully people see that you can do anything you set your mind to, and rise above the challenge.

I'm a 56 year old stroke patient. After much rehab, I can now walk (slowly) with a special brace, although my left arm hasn't responded to treatment. I want to thank you, Bethany, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me in so many ways. You helped me through my stroke. More importantly, you helped me become a stronger Christian. I may not meet you in this life, but I'll surely thank you when I see you in heaven! Cyber hugs and sincere thanks from me and my good wife.

Wow, I recently got the movie after seeing the commercials. I have been swimming and diving since I was 18 months and my parents nick named me shaely fish because I'm out body surfing and boogie boarding when others would rather stay on the beach. I'm not affraid of big waves at all. I know that if I ever lost my arm I would be devestated, but it wouldn't stop my dream of becoming a surfer.My second cousins, nathan and his little brother, are on the U.S.A surf team and live in Kuau'i. When I grow up I want to live in hawii, become a marine biologist and open a clinic for wounded and sick marine animals.

My husband rented Soul Surfer--your journey that is inspiring the world. After watching it I decided to print all the information I could find on the internet so that my granddaughters, both under a year old, will have a ready made book that illustrates in real life the concepts of courage, faith in God, perseverance and determination. I also admire greatly your desire to reach out to others who have lost their perspective after traumas and accidents. Bravo to you and all your family.

Hey Bethany, we have the same name and I lost my left arm from a shark attack last month. I'm 12 years old and I saw "Soul Surfer". You got back on your board I was like, "Wow if she can get back on her board, I can get back in the water". So now, I'm being a pro like you. I have been in 3 competitions with my friend. I was in the news when the attack happened. Maybe I'll compete you because I live in Kawauii,Hawaii. Love, Bethany Paige. p.s. Keep surfing because I look up to you always.

Both my brothers and my dad surf all year long and I always wanted to too! But my brothers used to scare me with shark stories. Bethany Hamilton has changed my perspective of the world. I am now surfing year round with my brothers living my life to the fullest. Thank you for showing me you can do what ever your heart tells you to. You are by far my biggest role model! I love you!

My middle school has this poster hung in the girl's locker room along with an article about Bethany. As one who isn't very athletic, I often wished to just leave Gym class permanently. However, looking at this smiling surfer without an arm every day for three years inspired me to go beyond what I saw as my limits and to never stop striving for excellence. Bethany is an amazing teen and an inspiration to everyone.

My brother-in-law was dealing with a wreck his grandson was in the night before. May 18th,A.M.,the doctors removed the lower part of Justin's right arm, later, that same day, the doctors had to remove his arm to his shoulder. On Saturday morning I had a flight to N.Y. Your poster almost took me to the floor. Your face was there, I believe, for a reason!
