  • Beth you are a huge inspiration to me Ian 11 and you gave inspired me to keep surfing bc I also surf and I got hit with a huge wave and almost drown and I never thought I could get back In the water until I saw soul surfer u r at living miracle ! Keep doing what Ur doing and my biggest goal in life is 2 meet u or talk to you! Please call me my number is 7089218017 lov you Bethany I don't need easy I just need possible!

  • I would NEVER get back in the water. I saw a shark once and that was enough no more surfing

  • bethany I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN! you are so strong!

  • 11 dislikes!!! how do you think Bethany feels! I am her biggest fan! GO BETHANY!!!!!!!!

  • Like, even though your left arm got hosed, you're awesome and gorgeous. By the way, it seems as though your comments section here has degenerated into a venue for various folks to verbally attack each other. What's up with that? Keep on those waves. You go, girl!

  • She`s a real inspiration !!!

  • Incredibly touching movie Bethany! and a simply amazing story of overcoming incredible odds! the Lord has brought amazing good out of a temporary evil. PRAISE HIM!!!

  • i niech ktoś mi powie ze ataki rekinów ludożerców to ściema.

  • yall she lost 80 percent of her blood may god bless her

  • @mermaidegirl 60 percent...

  • why would anybody dislike this wonderfull video

  • @zoriahagin they are probably not christians.....she talks about her faith.....amen to bethany

  • everybody should look up to her, <3

    she show's is how to never give up no matter how hard life brings you down, thank you Bethany for making me realize that.

  • P.S. It's too bad for her that getting your arm bitten off doesn't raise your IQ... seriously find a role model that isn't mentally deficient. I encourage everyone to read the bible to learn for themselves how big of a sham religion is.

  • @zombienationnews , dude shut up your totally blind and evil to insult her this way. to understand the Bible and God properly you need to be awakened inside your soul first, you can't understand it by your own head knowledge. I'll pray for you. but quit your insults because your totally wrong!

  • @orionifo First off, being "Evil" and "Wrong" is just a subjective opinion, don't lay it out as if it were fact, second off, all I was stating was my opinion. Take it or leave it, it is an open forum... thirdly, go fuck yourself "dude" Your concept of god is such an irrational ignorant preconception it's ridiculous... read some shit that doesn't try to brain wash your infantile Jr. High school ass and do some "critical thinking" (look it up) then get back to me on this, jack ass.

  • @orionifo Obviously I am talking to a 12 year old that doesn't even know how to write... "you can't understand it by your own head knowledge"? Really???

  • @orionifo "you causes offenses with your your smart ass mouth" ...Do you have Down Syndrome???

  • @orionifo Oh yeah and if you are writing "You are" it is "You're" not "Your" go back to school you bible thumping illiterate waste of procreation. 

  • Comment removed

  • @orionifo OPINION!!!! That is what I have been saying this whole time! You are the one that is Judging, not me. Sharing opinions is how people don't end up 40 year old recluses that post shit about UFOs and Jesus all day long and chastising others because their opinions differ from their own. Jesus dude you are special aren't you?

  • @orionifo I live in Seattle, any time you want to test this "pussy" theory of yours, come on up dude...

  • Comment removed

  • @orionifo You are delusional man... why would an "angel" start a fight with me? LMFAO! I just told you I don't start fights... but if someone wants to test me, they've ended up in the ICU.

  • @orionifo LOL, whatever dude, your concept of "God" is infantile and insulting to anyone with an IQ above 90. Have a nice night nut job!

  • @zombienationnews , the offense is against Christ dude I hope you know that? go read what he taught about offending those who believe in him. read Matt.18:6

  • @orionifo I am a two time state boxing champion, a brown belt in Judo and a Blue belt in Jujitsu, any time you want I will gladly knock your teeth out for you or maybe break a limb or two.

  • that was a good vid :)

  • I traveled in the past of Beth I saw it happened her arm I be freaked and sad about it but glad shes alive and happy she didn't died Beth ur one brave young girl and ur a best friend to everyone your fan Matt thank god your with friends and family

  • God is SO BIG.. He uses people as an example! He used bethany. & im pretty sure many people's lifes changed after watching the movie/ her story!! NEVER GIVE UP(: Just because you loose something, doesn't mean you have to quit♥

  • My husband use to not believe in God and thought people were crazy to believe in Christ. But Christ intervened and saved his life. Just stop and look at all what God does for us everyday. It will amaze you.Satan's biggest weapon is doubt, nothing else just doubt and none forgiveness. Just have faith and ask God to show you his miracles, and if you still dont believe then you have a right to talk bad about God, because at least you gave God a chance.

  • This girl is awesome! She delivers an amazing message that you can pursuit your dream even if things seem to go down hill.

  • @zombienationnews u know what ur a idiot and what do u think ur going to go turn down everybody just because ur sad.how would u feel if u got ur arm bite off??????????? get off her back shes better then u way better.

  • Comment removed

  • @redhothair1 Your comment makes no sense, learn to spell.

  • Comment removed

  • @orionifo Oh, no, big man removed all of his comments because he knew I made him look like an idiot. I sure hope an angle doesn't kick my ass for that too. lol.

  • @zombienationnews dude, what I want to know is who do you think you are that you can insult people and judge their intelligence the way you do? Bethany has more intelligence than you. she has LOVE , all you got is a bunch of worldly head knowledge which inflates your sense of superiority and importance over others. you have no love or respect in you at all. you really are just what your user name denotes a zombie the walking dead.

  • @orionifo LOL!

  • Hello my name is anderson fields have learning asurfar Stockholm thirty years, I taught skating live in Brazil! watched his movie, his story touched deep in my heart, I never had a lot in my life because Idul and after seeing serteza its history and one of you a big hug and that you keep this fighter e.

  • I will always look up to u n remember what an inspiration u are to me n the rest of the world

  • wow her words spoke to my heart :)

  • 9 dislikes.. nice try shark x:

  • @nienajonas I think the dislikes are just from God haters, cause I can't imagine why anyone can look down on this girl!

  • @bretoner2 True <3

  • I LOVE YOU BETHANY

  • 9 ppl are jelious

  • You are amazing! I look up to you! You are an amazing girl who had the strength and courage to keep surfing. You are an inspiration to me as you should be to kids and adults everywhere. You are a wonderful, talented girl. We love you Bethany!

  • I named my Snowboard to Bethany after this.

  • "you know a shark just came and bit me arm off..........." I love it! i hear people get ALOT madder when they tell a story about someone cutting them off in traffic. this girls story should answer all the people who say things like "why does God let "bad" things happen..

  • so sorry for you keep on surfing

  • I watched Soul Surfer today and it was awesome

  • U r an inspiration god bless you <3

  • Who the Heck would click on dislike on this story? 9 uninspired sad people.

  • i love this video

  • she is a true hero to all the people who surf

  • @Mrclancy6969 You have no heart, i hope you go to hell.

  • @Mrclancy6969 how can u be such a bitch! the only person who's stupid here is u!! u'd think there's such a thing called perseverance and courage!

  • @Mrclancy6969 you flipping jerk! how could you say that

  • Why would people feel bad for her? Look how much she done to inspire you all with one arm.

  • Lol. "I gave my heart to God & surfing." Oh...

  • awwwwwww poor baby i feel bad for her.

  • what is the chance to be attacked by a shark while surfing ?!

  • 8 people need to give their hearts to God

  • can u teach me how 2 surf

  • she's pretty

  • inspiring

  • la pauvre

    

  • i cried at the pat after the tsumni when she got the kid in the water

  • go bethany

  • I love Bethany Hamilton! She is truly my inspiration. She has taught me to never give up or to stop believing in myself and god. I am now internally thankful and she has opened my mind to a new perspective. -3

  • Today I got sad and I cried too because today was my first time watching Soul Surfer. I really cried during this movie because it's about her getting her arm bit off by a shark but she NEVER gives up. Right now I really really love this movie because it's very inspirational to me because this movie teaches you to NEVER give up in life and follow your dreams, no matter how bad things get. And this movie tells me to do same and NEVER give up in life. I really really love this movie now.

  • Your doing what your suppose to be doing! Great inspiration, Malama Pono!

  • Bathany, you are an inspiration and to many in this world. God has given you a extraordinary gift to share with other and through this you are share his love for us all. God bless you...

  • Bethany, you are an extraordinary woman. I have seen your movie "Soul Surfer" for the 2nd time and it makes me cry every time, not out of sadness, but joy that you have brought to people around the world, surfers and non-surfers (like me) alike. I am also moved by your conviction in your faith, a lot of people don't have that. Those people are lost. I can't imagine a world without God in it. It would be full of loneliness and unhappiness without Him! God Bless You and Your Family! Stay you!

  • GOD BLESS YOU BETHANY!!<3

  • Dude id rather believe in god and find out later the him or heaven doesn't exist, than not believe in god and find out that it all is real!

  • Geosurfer1976

  • cant believe they are 8 dislikes

  • Melanie4721 it is 7 now btw

  • You are BIG, 

  • all of you bible thumpers can stfu, god doesnt exist, i can't seriously believe that out of ALL of the religions that have existed on this earth, you people actually believe yours is the one. how theocentric. how about this, what if god doesn't exist? remember, the human mind is capable of believing ANYTHING. one love.

  • @geosurfer1976 :P what if he does exist? hmm none of us really know so don't doubt what you can't prove I'm not forcing you to believe but you have no right to try to tell people whats what.

  • @geosurfer1976 no you need to shut up people can believe what they want to believe and nobody can stop them not you or i or any one else

  • @geosurfer1976 if YOU THINK that god dosent exsist who made the world you make human beings stupid

    

  • @geosurfer1976 I think I would rather believe in God. So that when bad things do happen you know way. God has a plan and by our suffering for a short time we are rewarded greatly. Think of all the people that have gone through great disasters and have been an inspiration to other. God has chosen individuals to effect others. If you dont believe you will go through life miserable thinking you are a victim. I would rather be a hero then a victim

    Thank you and God Bless

  • Bethany reminds me of the saying that God never gives you more than you can handle. Leave it to this strong person to be able to be a role model to so many after such a horrible twist of fate. She reminds me so much of a cousin of mine. So down to earth and humble. Also so sweet and adorable!

  • hey everyone see ANNA SOPHY NEW SONG on youtube FABIANROBBS  thank u all

  • Bethany Hamilton you are so awesome!!! You're my role model!!! WAY TO GO BETHANY!!!

  • Hawaii...Kauai...Hanalei...the paradise on earth!

  • I love her so much!

    She is an inspiration to me!

    

  • bethany you wrote to my freind lauren i thought that was awesome, good luck in australia sharks are cool :)

  • I love the vurse PHILLIPIANS 4:13 I'm on two hockey teams I do devotions every morning and night I'm going to try to get my parents to give me a plane ticket to Hawii this summer I got baptized a month ago to make my christian live a lot bigger D:

  • My dad and I found this girl when we were watching a man named Nick Voichichich (well i tried spelling it) but he is a man with no limbs and he has to live like that and he goes around telling people around the world about Jesus and she inspired me to do the impossible and now my favorite saying is "i dont need easy i just need possible" quoted from the movie soul surfer it was just inspiring to me that someone who has lost something could still reach any goal without that something <3

  • Your Awesome Bethany <3

  • Very inspiring young girl. x

  • at the bigging it looks like the other people surfing,looks like little water bugs!!:) hahaha, she is so amazing

  • all of those amazing things u can do with just one arm wow!!!

  • the 5 dislikes can't surf

  • Excelente bethany una perfecta historia para inspirar!!

  • Le surf est une discipline magnifique et difficile, et je tire mon chapeau à cette femme qui se debrouille merveilleusement bien malgré ce qui lui est arrivé.

  • bethany u r so brave and i think that if i lost my arm to a shark while laying on my board i would'nt be able go go back in the water.I hope i can meet u one day because u r my idol and u truley have a heart of a soul surfer.

  • She's a real inspiration and encourage kids with struggles in their lives to look up to her, but I could've done without all the "Gods Love." it made her seem like she was doing it for someone else, and not her. And I bet some guy is gonna give me shit but I don't care cause I'm not bashing her, I'm just saying that's the image she gave me with all the preaching she's doing.

  • @MedicDroid78 She is doing it for someone other than herself. She's doing it for God and others

  • I hope I get the chance to meet her one day! She's sooo amazing! Your such a great and kind person Bethany!

  • You know what i just remembered. I was watching the movie Evan Almighty couple of days ago and in a scene, God says ".. if someone asked for patience, do you think i'd give them patience or an OPPORTUNITY to become patient?.." You prayed for strength and success and God gave you an opportunity to achieve that.. a challenging one though. You did a great job :)

  • God's great. You're an amazing person Bethany! Keep up the good work. Hope to one day meet you :)

  • bullshit about a made up god

  • Bethany is such an inspiring person. I wish her the best of luck!! One day i wish she could teach me how to surf!!

  • I seriously hope that those cunts who disliked this video will loose both their arms

  • I tried getting up using one arm, to hard, this is really inspiring:D

  • Thats scary im not going surfing but if i had to i would but i wouldnt cause i cant swim im not even a teen yet or in high school

  • Just watched the film..very inspiring stuff, how great is she!

  • bethany i think you are once of the most important person in the history of self improvement you are the best!

  • thats awesome :) what a stong chick!

  • I loved your movie and I cried during it when I never cry during movies!!!You are such an inspiration to people everywhere, I love you!!!!!!!!!!!:))

  • I read your book it's inspirational!!!! -3

  • Thanks for sharing your story Bethany! Your so beautiful and inspiring!

  • love your story Bethany..you are i strong persone!!

  • "When I was about 5, I gave my heart to Jesus Christ.." At 5?!!? i think you mean "i was brainwashed to give my life up for him..." sorry. shut up about god. trust me, if you realize YOU have done what you have in life and not GOD, you feel A LOT better

  • @TheSoleTop Is that really necessary? Bethany isn't proselytizing, she's sharing the role of faith in her personal experience. If it really bothers you that much, there are lots of other videos on the interwebs that you could watch. Just an idea.

  • @TheSoleTop Oh be quiet! you're a Rude cunt..... People bealive in god if they want to, na shut your mouth.

  • @TheSoleTop God doesn't brainwash. He obviously gives a choice. I mean, look at you, you obviously had one.

  • Bethany , you are my inspiration. You made me strong enough to put vid's on youtube about my life, about how I deal with things with 1 arm! (: thanks!
