AS YOU READ, LOOK FOR:
H
alloween 2003.
It was a gorgeous morning on the north
shore of Kauai, Hawaii.
The sun was starting to rise,
lighting up the horizon in brilliant pinks and purples.
Out on the open sea, Bethany Hamilton was in her
own personal version of heaven: on her surfboard, waiting for
a wave.
She was only 13 years old, but already Bethany was one of
Hawaii’s most promising young surfers.
From the first time she
stood on a board at age 5, the feeling of riding waves brought
her an indescribable thrill.
Her talent was unmistakable.
She
was winning major amateur surf contests by her 10th birthday.
Only the most elite, most dedicated surfers make it to the
professional level.
Few doubted that Bethany would get there
one day.
