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.

Matt Contardi from Wisconsin, January 9, 2013

She has been a great impact on my life and taught me to never give up. I think she is an amazing surfer and she is going to go far with only one arm.

Mackayla Smith from Wyoming, June 7, 2012

I cant believe how many young lives were inspired by what happend to you that day. I know for sure I am extremely inspired. I thank you for that and it just helps me to want to attempt surfing. I always wanted to try it but because of my mentality age I am some what scared to go into open water any advice.... ? AGAIN THANK YOU!

AnnaMary from middletown PA USA, April 3, 2012

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.

John R from Yuma, Arizona, April 2, 2012

maddie from china, March 8, 2012

She is such an isnpiration! I want to be a pro surfer so bad and i really look up to her. Just because she lost her arm, it doesn't mean that she didn't stop her dream of surfing. :)

Hannah from Bordentown, February 28, 2012

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.

Shaely Bentley from Maine, February 3, 2012

she is a fighter, believer, and much much more! who ever doubts that life is tough enough for them they should look at people like bethany!

kelly mckenzie from arkansas, January 17, 2012

Meagan from Indiana, August 19, 2011

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.

Carolina from Idaho, August 4, 2011

Balie h. from Shallowater, Texas, August 3, 2011

I am so inspired that she got in the water after the attack. I would never get back in the water if I got attacked by a shark cause I would have bad dreams.

Balie H from Shallower, Texas, August 3, 2011

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.

Bethany Paige. from Kawauii,Hawaii, July 28, 2011

Manzoor A from Pakistan, November 16, 2008

I was researching Bethany Hamilton for an assignment and by the end of it I couldn't believe the passion and determination she had to show everyone that she could still succeed. I think she is amazing and a great role model.

Jess from Australia, October 17, 2008

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.

Dana Y. from California, July 26, 2008

Your story is soo inspiring.

Kayla F. from Laguna Beach, April 10, 2008

Surfer Girl, You are my number one hero of all time, which is a very powerful statement, as it takes a lot to impress me.

Bethany Hamilton is truly an Amazing person. Even with the incident with the shark, she still managed to get right back where she belongs, ON HER SURF BOARD! She sets an example to everyone out there to keep on keepin' on and follow through with your dreams, even if it means you have to face your fears.

Justin L from Asheboro, North Carolina USA, June 1, 2007

MAY 17th, my husband and I woke to the heart of a loved one breaking! So much pain was coming from my husbands only sibling. 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!
