Shark Attack
Bethany experienced a shark attack when she was surfing on Tunnels Beach in Ha’ena, Kauai. She was only 13 years old then and she went surfing with Alana Blanchard, her best friend, and Blanchard’s father and brother. Bethany lost her left arm due to the shark attack where a 14-foot-long tiger shark attacked her.
While lying on her board, Bethany felt a sudden intense pressure on her left arm and was pulled back and forth for a few seconds. It was before the flurry passed. Initially, she felt no pain, but she noticed the water around her turn red. After a while, her shocked friends realized that her left arm had been severed nearly to the shoulder.
Her best friend’s father made a quick tourniquet from his surfboard leash and led everyone to shore. They rushed Bethany to Wilcox Memorial Hospital. There, they bumped her father from the operating room where he was about to have knee surgery.
Bethany had already lost 60% of her blood when they arrived at the hospital. Moreover, Bethany was in hypovolemic shock and she underwent several surgeries. Despite the life-threatening incident with the shark, Bethany’s love for surfing didn’t end there. She went back to surfing after a month of rest. Later, she resumed participating in surfing events.
