The story is based on the life of Bethany Hamilton a Hawaiian native and teen surfing champion who won her first major competition at just eight years old. Several years later and with much respect in the surfing world, her life changed forever when she was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark off Kauai.
Losing her left arm, she refused to five up and went on to surf in professional championships despite the disability.
