The girl who played Bethany Hamilton? Yes. The arm stump was digitally added
The shark that attacked Bethany Hamilton was a 14 ft. tiger shark.
No
No.
Bethany Hamilton
Yes, she has one arm from a shark attack.
There is no costume, but with some imagination, you can make one! (try a bikini bottom and a surf shrt with the top under and hide your arm under!)
On Halloween day in 2003, Bethany Hamilton was at Tunnels Beach in Hawaii when she got her arm bitten by a fifteen foot tiger shark.
Not the day she lost the arm, but she has since then.
No, she wore a green sleeve and it was edited later on to make the illusion that she had no arm. Most of the surf scenes, you don't see her face because it's actually Bethany Hamilton surfing. Pretty smart how they did it, hey?
Bethany Hamilton was 13 years old when she was attacked by a shark while surfing in Hawaii, resulting in the loss of her left arm.
She has to wear several straps in order to keep the prosthetic arm in place and since she can't surf with the arm and she's in her bathing suit nearly all the time, there's really no need for her to wear it.
