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
I am so proud of her. I'm 16 and live in the dead center of a country, far away from any ocean so i never had the chance to even try. I have my faith in God also. God loves all of us, and definately has something in store for Bethany. her story is so beautiful and one worth sharing. :)
I'm not a surfer. But this girl is my hero. She taught me that you shouldn't let big obstacles get in the way of bigger dreams. And I thank her for that.
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
Bethany is my true inspiration. She helped me see that God has a plan for everybody, and even if he does things that don't make sense at first, they always turn around into something good. Bethany has a good heart, mind, and soul, and any one who disagrees is crazy. God bless you, your family, and everyone. Thank you Bethany.
My wife and I took our girls to see Soul Surfer yesterday and it was awesome! Your story is amazing and inspirational Bethany! I pray for those who have made negative comments here. This world needs more people like you. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. God bless you and your family!
It is SO inspiring and heartwarming to see what Bethany has overcome in her life. Puts a lot of our ordinary concerns in perspective. What a wonderful young woman.
Bethany is without any doubt the most optimistic, genuine and loving person in pro-sports today. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this beautiful angel both in action and off the circuit. Keep it up miss Hamilton.
she is just so inspiring to me it has shown me that when u love something so much but u loose a body part that u should never give up and follow ur dreams and she knows God is there to help her family prayed for her to be okay and she is out there living her dream Bethany Hamilton ROCKS
I love Bethany Hamilton, she is the person I idolize most in the entire world. Bethany is a wonderful person who has inspired millions of people, and is doing Gods work. She is truly a miracle.
Hi Bethany, I just watched Soul Surfer yesterday and i am mesmerized by your bravery. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such an inspiration to the world.
amazing story!!! she is sooo talented and inspiring!! She gave everything to the Lord and even though it seemed like he took it all away, He actually had a better plan in store for her!!! :)
One of the most inspirational and motivational movies I've ever seen. Bethany is so amazing! Anyone who hasn't watched the movie, watch it! It is soo beyond amazing. Cried through half of it ! #inspired
Bethany Hamilton, your a hero to many, Love the fact you never gave up. You will always receive prayers from me. God bless all your family, friends and all you do.
Bethany is a Great Surfer! I watch the Movie called Soul Surfer and it was really interesting to watch, Her Dream came true to be a Surfer. That's Amazing! God Blessed her! :)
Such a touching story! She has so inspired so many! And the 4 people who don't like this video........ they obviously don't get how hard she has tried to get back to surfing! Thank you so much bethany!
Bethany's story is one of the best I've ever heard. Oh, and Bethany, God's got more in store for you. If there are any girls out there looking for a role model, Bethany Hamilton fits that category 100 percent. If you think she doesn't, than think again because her story's better than anything else.
I love Bethany's story!!! She encourages me to be a better person and CHRISTIAN! God truly is amazing! I love how even though Bethany had one arm she kept going! She didn't get mad at God or anything! I love you Bethany!
I luv you Bethany. You have inspired me to follow my dreams. The way that you are following God is just so amazing and cool. I' m only twelve and watched ur movie, actually my whole family watched it and it was so touching. This summer my dad is taking me to Hawaii and he said it right after we watched Soul Surfer. Don't ever turn your back on God and never forget his love. U ROCK!!!
im not even religious but man, it warms my heart so deeply to hear her talk about her love for her God and how it was a support for her during everything...I hope this beautiful lady is doing well today
Love you! Your an inspiration to so many people,and especially me!You got me into surfing, and my best friend's cousin has brain cancer, he plays soccer. Your story kept him going! I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU!
I've seen her movie 2x now, its the most inspirational and emotional movie i've ever seen. Bethany's a true gift from God, no other way to say it. 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.
Bethany Hamilton is such an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus Lives!!! I got injured playing hs football and i was depressed for many months but Its true what Bethany is talking about, the love of Jesus is so powerful and it helped me to find peace in my situation!!!

I ❤️ U BETHANY!!!!! UR SUCH AN INSPIRATION. I AM ONLY YOUNG BUT I GOT BIG THINGS AHEAD OF ME. I ❤️ U!! NEVER GIVE UP AND KEEP SURFING( I WAS ROOTING FOR U IN THE AMAZING RACE)
I just watched the movie again and every time i cry because i realize thow amazing you are and how strong you are you are amazing i love you keep going girl your amazing
Bethany, I shared this with my family, and you are a light for Christ. thank you for your message. God bless you in all that you do! The Hudson's in Lake Dallas, TX
i love Bethany Hamilton!!!! shes the 1 tht inspired me 2 surf... u know i love the water nd.... wen i read an article about her life, i saw the movie soul surfer.. nd then... i just loved her life... now, i asked my parents if i could learn 2 surf... my mom said yes, and now, i wanna b a pro surfer just like Bethany.... shes my role model :)
Thank you for taking a seemingly horrible situation and glorifying God through it! Your life brings him a lot of joy! I'm looking forward to watching Soul Surfer.
Bethany, you are an insperation. I really enjoyed the movie. I watch it all the time. You never gave up. God gave you the courage to keep pushing on and that is a great thing. I hope all of your hopes and dreams come true. Catch a barrel for me girl. Love and God bless.
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~+~
I want to be a pro skateboarder but I never thought I would make it because everyone doubted me until I watched soul Surfer. Bethany is amazing and she made me realize that you can do anything if you really put your heart into it. Thankyou :)
I just watched the soul surfer and have been inspired! thank you so much! for sharing your story! I love how bold you are to talk about your faith alot of people want to shut christains up but we are not shutting up! we are speaking loud and clear! whither you like it or not. You rock girl! keep shining for Jesus! :)
Love this so much, and the fact that she still praises God after all the struggle is amazing, well God helped her to get through it. I guess God really is love
Bethany is a diamond girl. She rocks. She is inspiration and courage embodied. She shines the light of God for all of us. She's rad. Amen to all what she says.
She's a blessing! She's stronger then she's ever been, she's a God sent to people that are living the same as she is but didn't have the motivation n faith she does... there is a reason for everything. She's done more good then any of u negative people in here have ever done in ur life... EVER! GB!
5 people don't realize what Bethany has been through.. How about if your arm got bitten off? How would you feel? None of those people would even have the courage to go back into the water. You are amazing Bethany!
I love the movie and it's inspiring and I cried when you lost your arm...........you are the greatest surfer of all and you inspierd me to try surfing when I go back to the beach!!!

amreen aslam She does not focus on beauty, but she has the beauty both inside and out.
amreen aslam I agree
So true
a aslam I love you for this she is my idol
The Bible literally talks about not idolizing people or objects/things. If you’re a believer in God you’d know that my guy & im not even a Christian.
I am so proud of her. I'm 16 and live in the dead center of a country, far away from any ocean so i never had the chance to even try. I have my faith in God also. God loves all of us, and definately has something in store for Bethany. her story is so beautiful and one worth sharing. :)
i love how, in all her fame and glory, she still has time for God. Her ability to just take life as it comes and not give up is amazing. God bless.
I'm not a surfer. But this girl is my hero. She taught me that you shouldn't let big obstacles get in the way of bigger dreams. And I thank her for that.
This young lady has a beautiful outlook on life. She is truly an inspiration and messenger of the Christian faith! Well done Ms. Hamilton !!
