Keynote Speaker: Professional Surfer & Shark Attack Survivor; Inspiration for the Film "Soul Surfer"

Bethany Hamilton Biography

Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of determination, faith, and hope. At the age of 13, Hamilton lost her left arm to a 14-foot tiger shark, which seemed to end her career as a rising surf star. One month after the attack, Hamilton returned to the water and within two years had won her first national title. In 2007, she realized her dream of surfing professionally and since then, her story has been told in a New York Times best-selling autobiography and in the 2011 film, Soul Surfer.

Hamilton is involved in numerous charitable efforts, including her own foundation, "Friends of Bethany", which reaches out to amputees and youth, encouraging and offering hope to overcome through Jesus Christ. Using her platform as a professional athlete to promote living a fit and healthy lifestyle, she authored the book Body and Soul in 2014.

Hamilton’s latest project, Unstoppable, a surf documentary which showcases her as one of the best women surfers in the world, released theatrically in the USA on July 12, 2019, accompanied by a photo book and a children’s book. Passionate about helping young women be unstoppable in life and faith, Hamilton has launched a new website and online course for sharing content and facilitating connection. Her greatest joy is being a wife and mother, and she continues to touch and inspire lives globally as a professional surfer and motivational speaker.

  • All American Entertainment was massively helpful in logistics and saved the day at the last minute to help get an approval on recording the event to share with our members who missed the live event. I was and am very thankful they were 1.) available that late at night 2.) willing to help 3.) and got the needed yes for us. Very thankful.
