BETHANY HAMILTON | HOW DOES SHE DO IT

[@Observ8or]

She's just such a diamond of the sport. Nothing can be more inspirational than seeing someone go through such unmatched adversity, persevere, and then not only blast through all expectations but reach such an elite level. At only 24 she's already one for the history books. Whatever you're doing Beth, you're doing it right. Keep it up!!

[@filmfelineadmin]

Love her. Many people would have just given up. She's a proof that hard work pays off. If only she was vegan.

She's such a beautiful and inspiring person... I really admire her positivity. If I were her, I'd probably be crying everyday and hating my life and doing nothing for my life... Sometimes I get depressed for tiny stuffs and this is like a punch to my face. I hope her life goes well in everything, she deserves it :)

[@deemiller943]

This girl blows my mind. Surfing is a demanding, difficult sport. She has overcome so much and gets really good waves... Just so impressed with her!!

[@derchakalaka9125]

Shes a big inspiration, and i think she surfs better then the most people

[@jimihendrixx11]

Way better she is a very very good surfer

[@mikelarry5077]

you are a total inspiration to me .. you lost an arm .. I lost my soul in prison , but you have come out strong and I'm trying to do the same , thank you for being a awesome girl!!

[@paikeakehlani5392]

Mike Larry stay strong brother 🙏🏽

[@Goodwillwinoverevil1984]

Why do you good comments most of the time?! I'm jealous in a way, you're lucky. I get too many haters because of racism and other discriminatory things!

[@nancyarcheval9996]

I love all of these Surfing Tips from Bethany. I have admired her my whole life since I lived in Hawaii from 1998 to 2001. My dad was in the Army at the time, and we have moved from Puerto Rico, where the beaches are beautiful to Oahu, Hawaii, where the beaches are equally as beautiful, and the waves are enormous. I have boogie boarded in the ocean since I was seven, and I always wanted to learn how to surf. My friend, Kaylee, is from Kauai like Bethany, and she would tell me all about her surfing competitions. My friend Kaylee and I would be talking about how Bethany was, and of course still is such a wonderful role model for us young girls in the 90’s and early 2000s. Today, I’m taking Bethany’s Unstoppable Year Course since March, and I am learning so much from her and her husband, Adam. I am so grateful for their resilience and love towards God, helping an amazing community, and putting surfing into the mix. On my 30th birthday, I hope I can return to Hawaii and learn how to surf 🏄🏼‍♀️ and completely fall in love with the sport.

[@lt6573]

You're an incredible human being, Bethany!!! Thank you for never giving up and inspiring us all to dig deeper in life...🙏🙏💖🙌🌻

[@dalejacques3142]

Amazing. I started surfing a year ago - one month shy of my 60th birthday. whenever I 've been tempted to get angry or discouraged about paddling out through breaking waves or whitewash, pearling, or just gaining skills I gain inspiration from both your ability and your attitude. Mahalo!

[@jpperry5370]

you are amazing Bethany i have lost my arm to a shark and i am trying out for swimming and cheerleading because of you! you gave me confident.the doctor said i has a 80% chance of living at first.

[@S104tmmsapr]

Hi!! I lost my arm 2 month ago. I don`t know what to do(((

[@karinaalbert652]

You are a really strong girl

[@Matzes]

[@jr8899]

So much talent with one arm amazing,no victim mentality, what a role model

[@Caractacus969]

I am honored just to be on the same planet as this amazing person.

[@Pseudosurfer]

incredible human being

[@drolllindsay]

SWEEET video! loved this sort of in depth look at what you do, as someone who has never been on a board, I have always been amazed at pro surfers. you guys are rock stars!

[@SavageAudits]

Total hero...and a real Woman!

[@Goodwillwinoverevil1984]

Hawaii has such gorgeous beaches. I am lucky I got to visit there recently..

[@samanthashiplett9388]

I LOVE BETHANY HAMILTON 💜❤️♥️💜♥️❤️

[@PFRicardo]

Amazing! She surfs really well and her smile is an expiration!

[@ridanst]

find her story from the book from marie, everything is figureoutable, and just wow!!!! i take my hat off to her!

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

She's incredible. Thanks for the upload.

[@nataleighandmichaelchapman6656]

After a shark attack you see her back on the board! That’s what we call faith!!

[@scottadsett5803]

Wow! that is inspirational. Re, paddling, the 's(reverse it for right arm)' stroke (that phelps uses) is the way to go, the new high shoulder pull, is good for some body types but, using the rocker and porpoising is the way to go.Having coached swimming for 20 years, I now find myself trying to get back into the water after 2 brain tumors that paralyzed my left arm and leg. I can limp and hope to knee board soon, pretty nervous, but watching this vid gives me confidence, Thank you

[@retribution999]

Ive been trying to surf for years, its really difficult even with two strong arms. Bethany is truly inspiring and a wonderful human being. I guess living in Hawaii and having a wonderful family really helps.

[@filmfelineadmin]

Mom to three kids and you surf better than any girl. Unbelievable and unstoppable.

[@darrenmillerphoto]

Bethany you are an inspiration!! Shine on sister!

[@pennypike4664]

One of the most inspiring woman of our day!! Such an inspiration to all❤❤ u Bethany

[@weeklyalexa257]

The story about her dad making her a handle for her board always warms my heart 🙏🏻

[@DarielAndre]

I saw her movie, she really teaches us a lot about strength and God

[@RaniVeluNachar-kx4lu]

Surfing is such a simple and beautiful sport. It blends the energy thrill, with the ecological awareness, and the sense of community based on alt. values predating materialism. It is existentialist and extremist and even minimalist all rolled up into one. And I am happy for her and the growing tribe of fellow water people. After all, Earth is a water planet and water is our home.

[@debbiewilson4563]

Bethany you inspire me I got your devotional book thanks for inspiring me ; )

[@jacquibayley7122]

Such a inspiration and beautiful lady

[@errolclark]

Just love this, such an inspiration!

[@jessiecheong9168]

Yhh skin

[@wingedwolves1456]

She is such a angel i think she was a angel all the way. She shows everyone to keep on moving. If she looked at this comment I am honered. I'm a teenager that fell of a horse and got back on and keeps on doing it. Keep on going in your life to reach your goal and show others ypu can do it with a disability a insecurity you can always do the impossible.

[@ДарьяСкрипник-Горшкова]

So strong and beautiful. She inspires me. Good luck, Bethany, be happy!

[@jeffy69ism]

Thanks for sharing. I have a torn labrum in shoulder. That backside gaffe at end of vid was impressive

[@awcayenne]

just amazing

[@gv54te4]

If i would have lost my hand i would probably cry in bed for a week, and i couldnt imagine myself getting back to surfing,or it will be very tough atleast, and she went trough it and did it, im inspired.

[@Ari-200G]

You are such an inspiration!!!!!

[@bedy14]

i love you beth❤. you are my hero, my strength, my ispirational...my IDOL. thank you for everythingg

[@knuckles3839]

I heard Bethany is having a kid I can't wait! To see another person take after her mom and dad and make another difference!

[@apachewolfscout]

Very inspiring, watched this again to get extra inspiration and ideas...I took up surfing mid-fifties when waiting for a double hip-replacement ( I am seriously Not a great surfer at all!) , that year no pop op and pretty dodgy just trying it, but by the year after surgery, pop up no probs-happy days...however, I'm hardly tip-top as a surfer, what with the knee being dodge from botched op' plus hips, but I was just getting into things when a fall from a slack line severed a scapular muscle tendon-muscle un-attched now, tore one bicep ligament etc...basically, though I hope my right arm comes back good, one arm is maybe where I'll have to go at least for a while...unlike Betheny though I never developed a good paddle before my accident...anyhow, she's an inspiration: personally I've done so much training and stuff when on crutches or recovering from various things but Betheny's courage, skill, attack/injury recovery and rehabilitation and good heartedness are so powerful to observe. Very grateful to Betheny Hamilton, wishing her all the best. Thank you.

[@Rawk4Life]

Her wonderful spirit and confidence is what makes her beautiful even with just one arm.

[@shaunryan9810]

Right... I seriously need to sort out my take off's. I can't do it with 2 arms.

[@BlessThisPlanet]

Why isn’t this woman on the cover of Vogue, Sports Illustrated, etc?!! Unbelievable attitude to learn from about resilience

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

Did you not see she went against wsl transgender policies? She’s completely blackballed from everything now, vogue would spit on her

[@BlessThisPlanet]

@@ChickenJoe-tq6xd OMG...Wow.

Bethany you are amazing person surfer your movie was inspiring and you're so much better than that!

[@mitseraffej5812]

I need her spirit. I have both arms and both legs but age has caught up. I started surfing as a child and it was my bed rock no matter what else life threw at me. In my early 50s the wheels began to fall off. Now in my 60s and after a couple of joint replacements I can no longer do it. Often I feel as though my life is essentially over.

[@sierrashere6957]

Have some character and grow old gracefully, not preaching lol . . . . I'm trying to do the same thing myself 😂

[@gachablueberry2335]

She is a very brave woman!

[@mickeyreyome6259]

I'm never seen a surfer except for you in the movie. That said I am very proud of everything you have accomplished. I also agree with you on the transgender problem
