Bethany Hamilton has every reason to be afraid of the sea.

The American surfer lost an arm when she was just 13-years-old after being attacked by a tiger shark of the coast of Hawaii. But rather than let such a thing scare her off, Hamilton has used it as motivation and become a professional surfer. On Tuesday, just six months after giving birth to her first child, Hamilton lived out a dream of hers by tackling Hawaii's infamous Pe'ahi wave, also known as Jaws. Not only did she ride a wave most surfers can only dream of, she make it look bloody easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJmHW2MQwio
