[mattyblues101]

[soulsurfer111000]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[HopeFaith161]

She may have no arm but she's still awesome at surfing

[SilenceTheBullied]

As a surfer I know how hard it is to surf and swim with two arms and this girl did it it with 1. She is a true inspiration!!!

[tiffaniluvsu0615]

@lionsruleful no they killed it and hung it outside y it's tail

[trvlmte]

Hey 44 truefalse watch your mouth she taught a little boy how to surf she is actually a living mirical

[trvlmte]

I love you you inspired me God bless you

[KinneyBeachBum]

Im a surfer. And Bethany is my true inspiration. 

[abbaabba04]

God has blessed you with so much courage and talent. U are the definition of inspiration. God bless

[MsCharmed33]

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.

[emmylou4128]

[surfingissoooradical]

Bethany is such a inspiration to me God bless her and everyone else! :)

[kimathy123]

Bless her soul.. ;") she really is a souls surfer :)) good bless her ...

[Mycollection44]

Bethany, I am a big fan you are very AWESOME!

You Rock!

God also rocks and helped both if us in our lives.

[ItsDonaldSutherland]

God is a real Entity a real Force and when you do decide to make the effort to know Him the experience is real and rewarding. The things that fall into place throughout your day and your life when you are making that effort are wonderful. It is such a cool place to be in, everything just seems to click in the right way when you are in that place with Him.

[lionsruleful]

after the attack did they take the shark out of the water



[doglover0320]

My inspiration. -3

[edingovan]

Have a very Happy Birthday Bethany. 22 today.

[eniq8]

what is the music title when Bethany starts to talk about shark attacking her?

[Tawongagirlbelieber]

To bethanny: get with the program! GOD didn't do all the work for you. GOD might not even be real. You did all the work. You were brave enough to go into the water again after the attack. You chose hoe to live your life! Not GOD! GOD is a figure of people's imagination.

[44truefalse]

@Tawongagirlbelieber Hey jackass the title is MY STORY! When you become something other than a loser you can tell your story, till then stop hijacking other peoples outlooks.

[Tawongagirlbelieber]

@44truefalse sorry. i just want her to feel proud of here accomplishments and not give it all to "god".and i didnt mean to say hoe, i meant to say how.

[44truefalse]

@Tawongagirlbelieber Honestly what does it matter? First you say "god might not even be real", then you say "god is a figure in peoples imagination", then you say " i just don't wan't her to give it all to god!" Which one is it? Atleast have the courage to say that you could care less about her or her accomplishments, you simply wan't to say something about "god" that makes you sound intelligent and trendy. Her spiritual outlook isn't for you to edit. Please have some shame!

[Tawongagirlbelieber]

@44truefalse first) i DO believe in god. second) i just think that she has achieved so much, and she needs to make herself feel proud not make god feel proud.

[genbubbles]

wow great video! I didn't know her attack was in 2003 either. Well, rock on Bethany!

[IslandLiving808]

U rock Bethany =)

[matt1412kmb]

Why do I complain about my problems when others are worst than mine and they dont complain why, I believe its because of there walk with God...

[cupcakelover125]

It happened to you because god knew that you would handle it the best and be the best out of what it is! Love you Bethany!!!!!!!!!

[RW1230able]

@feminelsAwesome Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard you are such a nasty little freak no woman would ever want to hear nasty crap like that when it's about her!!! You have serious problems and you really need to take my advice and look for mental help!!!

[RW1230able]

Don't worry about the haters just think about the people that love Bethany and think of her as an inspiration to them. I am one of the people who look up to Bethany as a great role model and it is the greatest thing that she still surfs and inspires people to overcome problems in their lives.

[Happyissmiles]

I Love you Bethany!!!

[TheSlickmac]

[loveheart1919]

those 14 haters.. man.. shows what kind of person you are to the world. Bethany has come so far and has achieved so much at an early age, and she deserves pride in everything that she has done.. Its just a shame to see the number of dislikes every video i come across about bethany, idk about you but.. im glad i can see and learn about bethany online. Im graceful for all the passionate people that still survive in this world god created. Bethany is my inspiration(:

@knitaknot The Movie Soul Surfer was BASED on this true story of what happened to Bethany~ Annasophia played Bethany -3 GREAT movie. Highly recommended, (;

[vinestreet7]

This is what it must mean to know God's love.

[idance7875]

WOW she is so great and amazing would be so scared to go back in the water but I mean take risks and in her case it payed off

[SHINeeface213]

Wow how does she do that? I can barely surf with two arms and she does it with one.....

[giraffelane]

@abcdefg12345673785  i agree

[steelrider66]

Isn't that cool how God uses others as a vessel. I guess we have to remember it's on his schedule not ours. Thanks for the inspiration.

[knitaknot]

Wow that must have been tough I am berry glad that you found a way to glorify God! God bless you! Love Victoria,  P.S. Are you the one on soul surfer?

[rustherland]

@abcdefg12345673785 Your wrong you can't predict the future can you? I bet that answer is a NO

[vkwt]

God is so good.

[drpepper8999]

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!

[apurplefoxj]

Bethany Hamilton has become one of the MOST inspirational persons I ever know their existence! ♥ Bethany you rock :)

[MrCrazygirl725]

@apurplefoxj  YEAAAAAA

[monsterdog2001]

Bethany Hamilton is a great surfer and a inspire you don't like someone on how they look on the person they are

[musicalissa1]

bethany hamilton is an inspiration. she is a great sufer and a huge lover of god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope she inspires you.

[lauritaguaragna]

I love you so much that I'm buying one of your books cus I begged so much my dad!!

[randomgirl881]

STOP IT! stop bringing that foolish shit here! and stop debating stfu and just say nice things about bethany and her love for surfing

[punypufferman180]

@ItsTheJewCrew HOLY SHIT! then why the hell is ur name the jew crew? or thats ur name cuz ur a homo goin around with ur crew sucking BALLS!  dumbass troll

[BearHolly17]

I feel bad for Bethany but, I like the way she handled losing her arm! That did not stop her from doing what she loved!

[Plusquevie]

bethany is hot i would marry her if i was arnold schwarzeneggar

[punypufferman180]

hey mr @ItsTheJewCrew or whatever but it makes no sense that u made a dumb reply to @meady98 because hse said NOTHING about christ, and since ur name is ItsTheJewCrew it also means ur some dumb poser too stupid to know that also jews belive in father god as do christians, for all you know meady might even be jewish herself. so why even look for this vid, and have the nerve to say that u have no belief in god and call urself jewish.

[bemade10]

What the fuck, this is amazing. I cant even get up on the surfboard with 2 arms.

[edfrommustang]

Bethany knows beyond a doubt that jesus is absolutely real & that" All things work together for good to those that love the Lord." Bethany has taken this horrible accident that would have caused many to be bitter,discouraged & ruined.She allowed Jesus to use her to inspire others to live life to the fullest,never quit on yourself or those you love regardless of the pain or the obstacles."God has given us eternal life & this life is in His Son."

[PeaceLovePennie]

i was here before soul surfer.

[leilalu2000]

Nice story.

[meady98]

God is great. Do not dislike this I don't care if you don't agree but, my statement is true.

[Wolfreys44]

@meady98 if you want to be less arrogant you should try saying "i believe god is good".

[SoccerGirl1625]

She is a role model.....its a good lesson to go out their and just try

[poplockwave18]

ive watched the moviem soul surfer, and it was unbelievable that she was able to surf again and got the last wave so cocccooo!

[cocacola122345]

13 people have mistaked disllike for dis-I-like.

[yanggies]

How Is There 13 Dislike??!! Wtf Do Those Ppl Even Have A Heart?? Bethany Is A Inspirational Young Girl Who Lost An Arm N Still Live Her Dream..!! Those Ppl Who Dislike This Vid Got There Heart Taken Out..Probably Deaf Too..

[bugsyfisher]

This is so touching

[teamtunell]

If Bethany, who went through this trial, can give God the credit, why can't anyone else? If you watch the movie, the character says "I wouldn't change what happened to me because it allowed me to embrace more people than I could have with one arm" (paraphrasing). How many people, whether or not they have a faith, would have that attitude? I can only hope to have as much as faith as this young woman.

[L33TBOOM1]

This shows you can do anything even with one arm

[wenom12345]

god DIDNT give you the strength to go on, YOU did! why do people feel the need to give god the credit everytime something good happends? where is god when the shark attacked her? where is god when tzunami hit thailand???

[daisylife24]

SHUT THE FUCK UP you IGNORANT people who HATE God!!! You fucking shitting people need to go fuck off cuz she and God are amazing!! You bastards are retarted and need to go die is hell so piss off you fucking damn shitty losers!! Go God and Bethany!!! :)

[OfficialRachelRivera]

at my bff b-day party we were renacting this

[992kirky]

Blah blah about the god crap. But she ISA strong person.

[TyeeRocks]

Gosh! This happened on Halloween! :o That's creepy..... poor Bethany!

[PandaLand22]

I know Im young, but this happened when I was 2 years old. :(

[TheJojoMillions]

@PandaLand22 omigod im so glad you told me cuz i care so much!

[teakey]

Her name is the only woman surfer I know, so I guess thats something

[HannahxBaby97]

12 people have no heart.

[mynameis129100]

I think the lesson here is, if you belive in god, then he will have more inspiring gifts to share with you, and since she did share her faith in god and everything when she got attacked, god steped in.

[koolgurl402]

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. :)

[bboynpng]

She's a really strong women for what she's done but the whole religion thing is too much for me. You can have faith and believe in God but please don't bring his name everytime you speak. Otherwise it is still a really touching story and she definetly deserves to live a good life

[iJonny015]

@bboynpng Dude she can talk about God if she wants to...she believes that her heavenly Father is the one who has helped her and so its great that she is praising him and giving him the glory and honor for it. :)

[xbeautyshinesx]

who the ef would dislike this.

[soccer2skiing]

Bethany you are amazing and such a big inspiration!

[yonf]

she definately is a miracle

[2ravenf0x2]

the Lord truly had a plan for Bethany I am so glad that her faith grew not the other way around. She is truly a soul surfer! God Bless her!

[gaft24]

She is amazing....

[adamcf73]

God is awesome!

[nej913]

she is true soul surfer... God bless you. :)

[miked1997]

btw, people. stop fucking basing your lives off of jesus. hes not real and you are wasting your time. i feel bad for this girl, yet this really needs to understand that she has so much time and "giving your heart to jesus" is a waste of time. it is your will, your body, do what you feel is right.

[2ravenf0x2]

@miked1997 just sad to see you say such horrible things!

[miked1997]

godamnit. she has to be one of those "jesus saved me" people. i actually liked her for a few moments, now, im mixed between liking her, and thinking shes just another jesus freak. i hope not though

[ThatsLifeCOot]

@miked1997 Thats really ignorant, she's a beacon of hope for many and an insipiration. She has done so much good and helped people who are facing adversity like she had when she lost her arm. Not liking her because of what she believes? Stop being so ignorant and judging them on the basis of what they believe.

[Elberttreble]

cool her true story

[blueyedvixxen]

I think this is such an AMAZING story, and Bethany is a better person for letting her love for God shine through, true and strong. God Bless!!!!

[ledfootbabe]

I love your story. I am dealing with issues with my left leg and you are my roll model and your story helps me deal with my issues. I also am a Christian and feel like you did after the shark took your arm.

[happyinhonolulu]

I'm teaching your story in Scholastic Scope to my classes at Stevenson Middle School this year. You're an amazing and inspirational girl!

[babybull77]

You don't need two arms to be Beautiful.. I am definitely sure she is the prettiest girl in the world!! :) 

[appletree0816]

my daughter is gonna b named bethany :)

[MrPuddinCheeks]

Bethany I Love YOU!! I read the book I Couldn't put it down!! <3

[neemahkuria]

wu cud hate on this video????

[priscillathefatty]

This was such an amazing story... This shows that God really does give second chances.

[alan104449]

thumbs up if the whole time you watched this video. you were looking into her eyes as she spoke and not her arm. and if you saw her as a completely average human being. and not a girl with a missing arm.

you are one of my biggest heros and inspirations.

[KoolKidEmma]

@alan104449 Completely agree, hardly noticed the fact she didn't have an arm! What an amazing girl. She inspires me to never give up.

[MyRoxy7]

Bethany, you're amazing! God loves you! :)

[Alienizer1]

that was a pretty freaking big shark if i were ,when they caught the shark i would start stabing the crap out of it
