was surfing in the morning on a
beach in Kauai with her friends.
Around 7:50 am , approximately
she was 300 meters from shore
and lying on his table with her
left arm under water, when a
shark attacked her. Bleeding
heavily , her friends helped her

60% of her blood

incident , Bethany was
determined to return to

the accident , she returned
to surfing. She made a
special board, making her
easier to swimming and
surfing. After learning to

5. Soul Surfer
In 2004, Bethany wrote the story of
her accident. She called her story Soul
surfer: a true story of faith, familly ,
and fighting to get back on the board.
(Alma de surfista: Una verdadera
historia de fe, familia y lucha para
regresar a la tabla). In 2007 ,Becky
Baumgartner did a film based on the
story of Bethany. The name of the film
was soul surfer and the actress who
did the role of bethany was
AnnaSophia Robb.
6. She was a young girl when the
accident happened and I think
that she is an ispiration for all of
us because she find the way to
return to surfing again with only
one arm.
Her dad told her that it was not
going to be easy, but she said: i
don’t need it easy, only possible.
What I think about her?
