It was a 14 foot tiger shark in real life, one of the top 5 most dangerous sharks known to man. What they used in the movie was probably (hopefully) the same type from the true story.

The shark attacked in the movie was a CG (computer grapics) generated shark and the caught shark filmed later in the movie was a fake shark.

What is the real shark that is on soul surfer?

Actually, the shark in the film "Soul Surfer" was computer animation and a maquette made. The real shark was caught and, obviously, films can't use actual sharks. But the shark that attacked Bethany Hamilton was a 14-foot-long tiger shark, which is the second most dangerous shark in the world (right after the great white)

How did they make the shark bite look real in soul surfer?

They put a green screen around her arm. A green screen is like something that actors and actresses stand in front, and then somehow they make it look like they were standing let's say in the middle of a Desert. So they put something like that around her arm to make it look like it got bitten off.


What are the main characters in the book soul surfer?

If the book is anything like the movie (too often, that's not the case), then the theme of the book is that what we often think of as important or the be-all end-all really isn't that crucial sometimes and that what we're meant to do is often different than what we think it is, so keep your mind and your heart open. That's what I got from it anyway. I think a secondary theme is also that if you want something, truly know why you want it and keep working smart, not only hard, to achieve it, despite taking some bumps along the way. If anyone thinks I'm wrong, please feel free to improve my answer.
