She was on a shortboard.
At her house.
Bethany keeps her surfboard with the shark bite in it, in her shed in a behind glass.
The day of the attack, Tom Hamilton had to get knee surgery (he was locally anesthetized). But Bethany was admitted to the hospital right before the surgeon could even begin
She adjusts her body weight and puts her hand in the center of her board to prevent tipping over.
Bethany Hamilton was born on February 8, 1990
Nearly 2 months. The attack happened on Halloween of 2003 and she got back in the water on Christmas Day of 2003
She wrote the book to tell the world about the shark attack, the days she spent in the hospital and fighting to get back on the board against all odds. In 2011, the novel was re-released to add Bethany Hamilton's personal experiences before the film was made and during the filming, for she and her family literally monitored the entire film-making

Bethany was going 2 go home because the waves were notgnarly. Then she saw her bff "Alana" and she stayed. Alana's brothers were also w/ her.) Bethany, Alana and her bros were just laying on their boards because the ocean was very calm so they were just relaxing on their board. Bethany's head was turned(2 the right) and she was dangling her left arm into the ocean. she felt a thud! she explained," After i felt the tugging on my left arm it was all just a gray blur from their. Alana and her brothers had 2 watch that terrible day on that October 31th morning! ( imagine watching ur bff get attacked by a shark)"On October 31, 2003, Hamilton went for a morning surf along Tunnels Beach, Kauai with friends Alana, Byron and Holt Blanchard."
Somewhat. But the meaning behind that name is because her faith in Jesus Christ helped her to win the fight in beating the odds of never being able to surf again. And, to Bethany, surfing is her passion and her way of life
