Heart of a Soul Surfer *Special
Edition! Free Poster inside
~2008"Heart of a Soul
Surfer"offers a personal perspective into the true story
and life of Bethany Hamilton, a promising young surfer
who discovers her purpose in life as she overcomes the
loss of her arm to a 14-ft tiger shark off the coast of
Kauai, Hawaii on October 31, 2003. Bethany Hamilton, the
young teenage girl who made headlines for swiftly
resuming her amateur surfing career after losing an arm
in a 2003 shark attack in the waters off Hawaii, shares
her story to hundreds of teens. The Christian teen was
just 13 years old when the 14-foot tiger shark attacked
her just over three years ago on the North Shore of
Kauai. The shark also took a 16-inch bite out of her
surfboard.
Bethany's new documentary, "Heart
of a Soul Surfer", which is being released by Walking on
Water, a Christian surf company based in San Diego,
chronicles how Bethany refused to walk away from the
ocean sport, despite the amputation of her left arm.
Instead, the incident compelled Bethany to reach inside
herself to discover her purpose in life. Emboldened by
her faith, Bethany was back on her board just three
weeks later. The main focus (of the film) is the shark
attack and how God has used that as a platform to give
her an opportunity to share the gospel, said Mike Doyle,
director of outreach for Walking on Water. The young
surfer's determined story captured attention nationwide,
resulting in media appearances on Oprah, the Today Show
and a variety of other shows. She also wrote the
bestselling biography, Heart of a Soul Surfer, which was
released in 2004.
