Just six months after having her first child Tobias, Bethany, who lost one of her arms in a shark attack in 2003, surfed one of the biggest waves in Hawaii: the Peโ€™ahi, also known as โ€œJaws.โ€

โ€œI quickly realized, wow this is my chance to have my dreams come true, this is it!โ€ Hamilton wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

โ€œBefore towing into these waves, I would just breath deep and focus on what I was going to do. I believed in my ability. As I was dropping in, I would focus on drawing my line and read.โ€

Have a look at the footage โ€“ itโ€™s beyond impressive!
