Micah was born in 2021 to Adam Dirks and Bethany Hamilton. There’s no information available about this kid on the internet. In this article, we’ll go into the details of the life of the American surfer Bethany, her career, her accident, and many more.
Who is Bethany Hamilton?
American professional surfer and writer Bethany Meilani Hamilton overcame a shark attack in 2003 in which her left arm was bitten, and she eventually made a comeback to the sport. She wrote about her experience and how her Christian faith gave her the strength to get through it in her 2004 autobiography Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Go Back on the Board, which was made into the 2011 film Soul Surfer.
Early Life, Family, and Educational Details
Tom and Cheri Hamilton welcomed Bethany into the world in Lihue, Hawaii, on February 8, 1990. Noah and Timothy are her two older brothers. She first started surfing at the age of three, started competing at the age of eight, and received her first sponsorship at the age of ten. From the sixth grade through high school, Hamilton’s mother, who was a housewife, taught her at home. At a local café, her father worked as a server.
Personal Life
Through mutual friends, Hamilton and youth minister Adam Dirks first met in early 2012. On August 18, 2013, they decided to get married at a residence on Kauai’s north shore. Throughout her documentary “Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable,” their marriage is highlighted. In addition to being a competitive surfer, she currently mentors and organize workshops on relationships, faith, and health.
The Shark Attack
Hamilton, her best friend Alana Blanchard, Alana’s father, and her brother all went surfing on Kauai when Bethany was 13 years old. A 14-foot-long tiger shark attacked her as she was lying on her surfboard belly-down and speaking with Alana. She had her left arm dangling in the water just below the shoulder when the shark suddenly chewed off that portion of her arm. She confirmed in subsequent media interviews that the bite did not cause her to experience much pain but that she felt numb when she was being driven to the hospital.
Getting Back to Surfing After the Attack
She returned to surfing on November 26, 2003, barely 26 days after the attack, and on January 10, 2004, she entered her first significant competition after learning to surf with one arm. She now rides normal performance shortboards for competition.
Awards and Nominations
She has received the best comeback athlete ESPY award and was also nominated for the best female athlete with a disability ESPY award.
Net Worth
This amazing surfer, who is full of life despite the tragedy, has a total net worth of $2 million. She’s the perfect motivation for people to never give up on their dreams.
Involvement with Media
She has made numerous guest appearances on television programs since the attack. Roy “Dutch” Hofstetter, who later produced the movie Soul Surfer, oversaw her transformation from shark attack survivor to media personality. She has spoken in front of crowds on numerous occasions and inspires audiences throughout the world.
