Bethany Hamilton: surfing with only one arm isn't as hard as beating the stigma

Hamilton's comment follows Serena Williams' statement at Wimbledon that she preferred the phrase “one of the greatest athletes of all time” to ...

Dear Bethany Hamilton,hello My Name Elektra.  We are a year 8 & 7 at Hornby High school in Christchurch. Over  the last two weeks we have been learning about Sports Heroes. We are learning this because many famous sports people show that you are a true New Zealand sports hero, and I think it is  important that we recognise this. Over the last week, we have created Athlete profiles to learn more about our favourite sports heroes. Why I think you a true hero because you.. keeped surfing though when you got bitten by a shark   on October, 31  2003  On your left arm.  One month after the attack, She returned to her  board. Initially   She adopted a custom-made broad that was songer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to peddle’ and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm. After teaching herself  to surf  with one arm, she returned to surfing on November 26,2003 just  26 days after the attack and entered her first major competition on January 10,2004 she now uses standard competitive performance short-boards. The shark-bitten surfboard that Hamilton was  riding  during the attack,as well the bathing suit she was wearing at the time, a gift from ocean photographe. 

Thank you for being my Sports Hero.

Elektra.
