What an inspirational mature young woman!! This is who young girls should idolize rather than pop stars who are obsessed with beauty. Bethany's perception of what happened to her and her love of god which helped her survive is truly remarkable. God bless xxx

Bethany Hamilton has inspired me to inspire others she is a tough chick when she was attacked she got a little scared but she never lost faith and through all that she still reached her dreams and even when people around her told her she couldn't she proved them wrong and she didn't hold any grudges against them she thanked them Bethany is a true angel of god she is a huge piece of my motivation and my motivation to motivate others

If watching her movie and her story doesn't help you to know God's absolutely real, i don't know what can. I surf myself an its hard to get up with 2 arms and rip and she's doing it with 1 arm and ripping up huge haves, UNBELIEVABLE. She's an inspiration to anybody, surfer or not, God Bless Bethany Hamilton for speaking about God and her story.

I think Bethany and her family are by far more amazing than the movie ever showed, or ever could. Their tremendous faith, so strong, and pure, saw them through the life-changing horrific ordeal in a way that Hollywood is just not able, nor does it seem willing, to portray, with its penchant for high drama. Bethany, and her family, though, accepted it all with the most remarkable, and calm grace, and unflappable perserverence. Truly awe inspiring~+~
