#1 TAD on Kaua'i:

We had a great experience this week. We were looking for Kalihiwai Beach (near Princeville) and my navigator Kilo Bravo had me turn one click too soon. We were on the road with the right name but on the wrong side of the river.

As we proceeded down the hill we spotted a turnout overlooking the bay. Below us were giant waves running parallel to the cliff with some sets containing pipelines. Needless to say there were 25 to 35 world class surfers partaking of the opportunity.

We spotted two young women in the group and after getting past the skimpy bikinis we noticed one was missing her left arm. Right away we realized this was Bethany Hamilton. Bethany lost her arm to a 15 ft Tiger Shark when she was 13. (See link to her name)

We had a chance to meet her after she finished her runs. She was very gracious and quite willing to talk to us. No self-pity, no candidate for welfare or disability here. With trust in God she is moving forward with her life and pursuing her dreams. What an inspiration.

Movie to be released soon.

#2 Bethany Hamilton is a very brave girl and a heckuva surfer as well.
