Riding the Waves of Life: A Chat with Bethany Hamilton and Kelly Slater
Bethany Hamilton: Hey Kelly! Stoked to catch up with you. How’s it going?
Kelly Slater: Hey Bethany! Life’s good. Just got back from a surf trip in Bali. The waves were unreal! What about you? How’s your latest adventure treating you?
Bethany Hamilton: Ah, Bali sounds amazing! I’ve been busy prepping for a new documentary and chasing waves in Hawaii. It’s been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Kelly Slater: That sounds epic! I’ve always admired how you tackle everything head-on. It’s like you thrive on challenges. What keeps you motivated?
Bethany Hamilton: Honestly, it’s a mix of my passion for surfing and wanting to inspire others. Losing my arm was tough, but it taught me resilience. Plus, the ocean is my happy place. What about you? You’ve had such an incredible career—how do you keep pushing the limits?
Kelly Slater: It’s the thrill of the challenge and love for the sport, for sure. Competing at a high level keeps me focused. And like you, I have this deep connection with the ocean—it’s where I find my peace and drive. Speaking of pushing limits, how do you balance family life with your career?
Bethany Hamilton: It’s definitely a juggling act! Being a mom is an adventure on its own. But I make sure to spend quality time with my kids and include them in my surfing life too. They’re my biggest fans and my greatest motivation. How do you handle it?
Kelly Slater: It’s all about finding that balance. Family time is crucial. I’ve learned to prioritize and manage my time wisely. And sometimes, combining family time with surfing trips works wonders! So, what’s next on your bucket list? Any new goals?
Bethany Hamilton: Always! I’m looking into promoting adaptive surfing more and helping others overcome their obstacles. On a personal note, maybe tackling some of those big wave spots that have been on my list for a while. How about you? Any big plans?
Kelly Slater: That’s awesome, Bethany! For me, it’s continuing my journey in environmental activism and maybe a few more world tour wins, if I can manage it! Plus, exploring more uncrowded, perfect waves around the globe. Here’s to more adventures and making a difference!
Bethany Hamilton: Absolutely! Cheers to that, Kelly. Let’s keep inspiring and riding the waves of life!
