Bethany Hamilton
You probably know Bethany Hamilton from the Hollywood movie, Soul Surfer, which was about her life. If not, well, this blonde surfer girl suffered a shark attack in 2003, causing her to lose her left arm. However, she did not let that stop her and got back in the water just three weeks after the incident to work her way back to becoming a professional surfer.
Bethany Hamilton has since realized her dream and has placed high, sometimes even coming in first, in plenty of surfing competitions held in the United States, Australia, Brazil, and Fiji.
