1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: You know, I was put in the ocean before I

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: could walk. I do vividly remember like one of my

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: surf contests when I was like five years old, I

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: think it was, and just remember like the water being

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: so blue and pretty. Once I got older, I got

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: started surfing more serious waves. So I started going up

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: to the deep water waves where you can't stand on

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: the bottom, and you know there are bigger fishes out there.

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: I am known as a professional surfer. I lost my

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: arm when I was thirteen years old, and I continued

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: surfing after that, and so I'm like one of those

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: rare humans that surfs with one arm, and I just

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: love what I get to do. You know, when life

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: gives you lemons, make lemonade. So that's kind of me

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: in a nutshell.

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bethany Hamilton, an amazing pro surfer who

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: has won tons of compet titians all over the world.

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: She's the star of very inspirational movies like Soul Surfer

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: and Bethany Hamilton Unstoppable, and today she's chatting with us

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: on Growing Up. Welcome to Growing Up, the Lingo Kids

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: podcast that encourages kids to dream big and discover who

22
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: they want to be.

23
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: We're on the coasts of Peru, a country in South America,

24
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: right in front of the Pacific Ocean, and here waves

25
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: can get big, very very big.

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 4: Look at dad, Maxie. Those ways are kind of scary,

27
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: aren't they. No worries they won't reach us. It's just

28
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 4: a movie. Here, have some popcorn, but don't tell mom

29
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: about it, Okay, good boy.

30
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 3: Just off the coasts of Peru, some fishermen go out

31
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: to catch fish, but they don't do it alone. They

32
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 3: ride on special boats called kabahitos, which means little horses.

33
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: Ah cool name. I bet it's because they're riding the

34
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: boats like if there were horses. Get it, Maxi.

35
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: And this right here is one of the oldest kinds

36
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: of surfing in the whole white world.

37
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: Surfing, No way, surfing is like skateboarding, but in the water, Maxi.

38
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: I's not only people in Hawaii surfed. You know, Hawaii

39
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 4: is an island and they have so many waves over there.

40
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: I love that at school.

41
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: Oh yes, far far away in the Pacific Ocean on

42
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: the island of Hawaii. Surfing has also been popped for

43
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 3: centuries only. Instead of kabaitos, the ancient people of Hawaii

44
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: used to make surfboards.

45
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: Look, MAXI the surfboard is that wooden table that man

46
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: standing on. Yeah, I'd paint my surf for Neon Green two.

47
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: For ancient Hawaiians, surfing wasn't just something they did for fun.

48
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: It was how they felt close to the ocean, which

49
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: was sacred for their culture.

50
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: So cool.

51
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: Today, surfing is popular in many countries around the world.

52
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: Some people even allow their dogs to surf, and let

53
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: me say they do it pretty well.

54
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: You're right, Maxie, you've never been to the beach before.

55
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: You'll have so much fun. I love building sand castles,

56
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: splashing in the water and swimming. Oh this time we

57
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: can try surfing.

58
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: But remember, if you want to try surfing yourself, first

59
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: seek help from a grown up coach or a pro surfer. Gotcha,

60
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: Now go catch some waves.

61
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: Okay day is officially on.

62
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: Hi Louise.

63
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: Enjoying the Go Forward movie theater.

64
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: Yes, Emily, quick question, do you know anything about surfing? Mmm?

65
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: I know it's super fun and I know that waves

66
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: can be very challenging to ride too.

67
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just watched this movie about the history of surfing.

68
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: Now I want to go to the beach. So Maxie

69
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: and I can surf. Problem is, well, we've never surfed before.

70
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 4: Can you help us out please?

71
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: Well, lucky for you, I know a real surfing expert.

72
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 4: You mean, like someone who has an actual surfboard, more.

73
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Like someone who's inspired millions with her surfing. Her name

00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 2: is Bethany Hamilton. She has won tons of surfing competitions

75
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: and she's been surfing since she was a little kid,

76
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: kid like me. That's right. Why don't we go meet her?

77
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: Of course I want to meet a super duper surfer

78
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 4: rock star. Okay, Massey, this is big. We're talking actual

Speaker 4: surf advice from an actual surfing person. Of course, I'll

80
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: ask Bethany about surfing dogs too.

81
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: Let's go then, welcome to our very own talking game show. Today,

82
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: we are speaking to the one and only Bethany Hamilton.

83
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: Bethany is a lifelong pro surfer and she's also behind

84
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: Beautifully Flawed Foundation, and together they help people who lost

85
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: arms or legs live happier lives.

86
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 4: Hi, Bethany, Aloha, Bethany Aloha.

87
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm Bethany Hamilton, Derek's I am known as a professional surfer.

88
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: I lost my arm when I was thirteen years old.

89
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: And I continued surfing after that, and so I'm like

90
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: one of those rare humans that surfs with one arm

91
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: and I just love what I get to do.

92
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: You are a rare human being indeed, who started surfing

93
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: when you were a baby, right.

94
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: I was born and raised in Kauai, Hawaii, and I

95
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: still live there, So I pretty much grew up on

96
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: the beach as my playground, the ocean as my playground.

97
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Both my mom and dad surfed, and same with my

98
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 1: older brothers too, so we were just a surfing family.

99
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 3: You know.

100
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: I was put in the ocean before I could walk,

101
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: and by the time I was like eight or nine,

102
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: that's when I really like started catching my own waves

103
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: and gaining more confidence in the ocean and just having

104
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: a lot of fun out there.

105
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 5: What a fun childhood.

106
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you remember the first wave you ever served? Bitsany?

107
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: I do vividly remember like one of my surf contests

108
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: when I was like five years old, I think it was,

109
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: and just remember like the water being so blue and pretty,

110
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: and there's these funny moves you can do on a surfboard,

111
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: like they call it a dying cockroach.

112
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: Dying cockroach, Maxie, please don't eat one, please.

113
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: I wouldn't recommend it either anyway. What's the dying cockroach move?

114
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Like, Bethany, So you lay down on the surfboard on

115
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: your back, and then you put your legs in the

116
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: arm and like kick them up and down and look

117
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: like a little cockroach on your back. And then another

118
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: thing you could do is like you're on the board

119
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: and you do a spinner, so you spin in a

120
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: circle and then you land back on your feet.

121
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: They sound so much fun. I want to try them. Wait,

122
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: but Bethany, the ocean is so full of sea animals

123
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: and see things, and it's just so much sea. Weren't

124
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: you scared of it as a kid.

125
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: When I was little, I was surfing in really shallow water,

126
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: so if I fell off my surfboard, I could stand

127
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: right up. It wasn't like I was going out into

128
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the deep blue, and I wasn't worried about sharks or

129
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: fishes or anything like that because the environment that my

130
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: parents brought me to is super inviting. Once I got older,

131
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: I got started surfing more serious way, So I started

132
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: going out to the deep water waves where you can't

133
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: stand on the bottom, and you know there are bigger

134
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: fishes out there.

135
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: And around that time is when you had your accident.

136
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Right, Every surfer thinks about sharks at one point or another,

137
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: but you never think it's gonna actually happen to you.

138
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: But I'm one of those rare humans that it happened

139
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: to you.

140
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: You're a super strong surfer. Like, how did you even

141
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: keep surfing after the shark attack?

142
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: You know?

143
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: And when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. So that's

144
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: kind of me in a nutshell.

145
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: Oh lemons, aren't they sour?

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Louise, lemons can be sour. But what Bethany

147
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: means is that when tricky stuff happens, it's like getting

148
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: sour lemons, right, But if you squeeze lemons and then

149
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: add a bit of sugar, you get a delicious drink

150
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 2: like lemonade. The same thing is in life, when life

151
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: gets tricky, you can get something good out of a

152
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: bad situation.

153
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: Oh, I get it. I'll remember it. When life gives

154
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: you lemons, make lemonade. There you go.

155
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: That's such a valuable lesson, don't you think. Yeah, And

156
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: of course you got back to surfing even after this

157
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: horrific accident. How was it to go back in the ocean.

158
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Well, honestly, the first session I had

159
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: after I lost my arm was probably one of the

160
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: most memorable days I've ever had in the ocean. You know.

161
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: I had a lot of fear, thinking like I might

162
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: not be able to surf with one arm, and so

163
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: I went out there just willing to try, willing to

164
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: put myself out there, willing to do something really hard.

165
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: And the first few tries I fell and fumbled off

166
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: the board and it felt hard and scary.

167
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: Wow, that sounds really hard. What or who helped you

168
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: believe you could do it.

169
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: My dad was there and he's like, hey, now that

170
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: you have one arm, you got to do things a

171
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: little different. And so next wave, I put my hand

172
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: in the center of the board, whereas normally you put

173
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: both hands on the side rails, and it was just

174
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: a small little wave, and I popped up and rode

175
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: that wave all the way to the beach and just

176
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: had the best tears of joy and like a feeling

177
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: of accomplishment, like Wow, I just did it, Like I

178
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: just surfed with one arm. And then from then on

179
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: it was like there's no turning back, like let's go,

180
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: We're doing this. It just felt kind of healing and

181
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: like I didn't have to lose my greatest passion or love.

182
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: You're a true example of courage and believing in yourself, Bethany.

183
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: And after all that hard work, you became an actual

184
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 2: pro surfer in competitions? What does it take to be

185
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: a pro surfer?

186
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: So when I was younger, when I was about nine

187
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: years old, I joined my local team and they offered

188
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: a surf coach to coach us once a week, and

189
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: so we'd go and run heats, like pretend like we're

190
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: surfing in a competition with each other, and our coach

191
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: would judge us and give us feedback and give us

192
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: tips on how we can, you know, get better at

193
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: our sport. My parents would also film me out there,

194
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: film me surfing with a camcorder, and so I would

195
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: go home and watch the footage after. I'm so grateful

196
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: my parents would do that.

197
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 4: Hey, my dad does that too. He records me all

198
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 4: the time.

199
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: I bet he says things like you'll love this when

200
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: you're older.

201
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, just like that. Wait, how did you know, Emily.

202
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: I'm a mom too. I do the same with my kids.

203
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: Cool, So recording all the time to be a pro

204
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 4: surfer check what else do we need to do to

205
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: be pros Bethany.

206
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: There's little details like figuring out your surfboards.

207
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 4: Really, why are surfboards so important?

208
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Some surfboards work better than other surfboards. So sometimes I

209
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: would only ride a surfboard three times and then I

210
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: would either sell it or give it back to the shaper.

211
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: And then even the type of fins you put on

212
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: your surfboard, so that's on the bottom of the board,

213
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: and that's what helps you turn the surfboard. And there's different

214
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: types of fins you can use.

215
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: Okay, No, dude, a cool night like me has to

216
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: ride a nice surfboard.

217
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes I would color on them, or I'd let

218
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: my friends who are really good artists color them. I've

219
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: even let my children now that I'm older and have children,

220
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: and it's always sad because at some point or another

221
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: they get old and kind of die or the waves

222
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: break them, and you're like, no, don't die on me surfboard,

223
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: and so yeah, you definitely have to take good care

224
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: of them.

225
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: I can't imagine how many waves you've ridden with your surfboards, Bethany.

226
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you dream of riding like the super duper

227
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: perfect wave. Bethany.

228
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: Well, there's there's one wave and this will probably surprise

229
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: a lot of you that it's in Namibia, Africa. There's

230
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: an incredible wave there that I've been dreaming of surfing

231
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: for like ten years. But it's such a far journey,

232
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: and the wave is also very rare, like, it doesn't

233
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: always work, it's not always breaking, it's not always good,

234
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: and when it's good, it's like a ten out of

235
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: a ten, and you can get what is called a

236
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: barrel where the wave breaks over top of your head

237
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: but you stay inside of the wave and it's like

238
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: you're in a little tunnel cave and it's the coolest

239
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: feeling ever. There's this barrel that you can have for

240
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: like twenty seconds.

241
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: Oh I bet those twenty seconds feel like forever.

242
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: It does. It truly does feel like an eternity, Bethany.

243
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: Do you have any tips to learn how to surf

244
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: for people who don't live near the ocean.

245
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: The first big challenge you have in the ocean is

246
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: just being able to catch the waves. It looks so easy,

247
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: but it's actually really hard, and it's kind of like

248
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: learning to read. First you learn your letters and then

249
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: you learn little words, and then you learn big words,

250
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: and then you read big books. So if you don't

251
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: live near the ocean, first learning how to swim super strong,

252
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: like kind of try to be an Olympic swimmer, so

253
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: to say, like swim one hundred laps or something like that.

254
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: Maybe fifty will be sufficient.

255
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: Okay, swimming one million laps to become a pro surfer.

256
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: Check.

257
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: Another tip I would say is if you can learn

258
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: how to skateboard, so a lot of skateboarders will get

259
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: really good at surfing, and so everybody can access skateboarding.

260
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: You can buy a skateboard and learn how. I recommend

261
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: wearing the pads because when you fall in the ocean

262
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt so bad, but when you fall on

263
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: cement there can hurt really bad.

264
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 4: Noted wearing pads when skateboarding so it doesn't hurt. Check.

265
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: You got a good list of tips there, Louise Bethany,

266
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: thank you for this wonderful and inspiring chat. Louise, what

267
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: did you learn from today's interview?

268
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 4: Wow, Emily, I can't believe anyone in the world can serf.

269
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: If you want to be super good at surfing, you

270
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: have to practice swimming a lot. You also have to

271
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: have a good surfboard for you. And if you're far

272
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: from the ocean, you can try skating to practice. Oh

273
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: and the biggest best ways don't come all the time,

274
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: but if you keep trying and practicing, you'll catch the

275
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 4: most awesome wave ever.

276
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 5: That's on point, Louise.

277
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: Maxie, we can go to the beach right after our

278
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: game show.

279
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I think we can actually play it on the beach, Louise, really,

280
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: where are we going? We're going to the beach. Bethany,

281
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: you want to join us?

282
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Cool, that's my favorite place in the world. Let's do it.

283
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 4: Let's go, Maxie. We have some waves to catch, all right.

284
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: Everyone, welcome to our very special well surf Trivia.

285
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 5: At the beach.

286
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: We've got the legendary Bethany Hamilton with us and we're

287
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: testing her surfing knowledge today.

288
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 4: Maxie definitely looks ready, Maxy, don't bury your leash in

289
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 4: the sand.

290
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: All right, here's the first question, Bethany. Back in nineteen

291
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: fifty nine, there was a brave fifteen year old girl

292
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: surfing the super scary why Mia Bay in Hawaii. She

293
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: was the first woman to do it. What was her name?

294
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: Was it a Sally surfboard, B Linda Benson or C wavy.

295
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 5: Windy Linda Benson. That's correct.

296
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: Linda Benson also became the first woman to be on

297
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: the cover of a surf magazine. Go Linda, do you

298
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: know much about her?

299
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Actually, my surf history is not too good, but I'm

300
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: glad I got that one right.

301
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 5: Awesome?

302
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 2: Okay, next question, Which of the following are types of

303
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: waves surfers ride? A point breaks, b reef breaks or

304
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: C beach breaks, all of the above.

305
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: I literally I surf all of those all the time.

306
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: So I love reef breakes because the reefrekes are more predictable,

307
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: and so you can kind of make a map out there,

308
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: and you can know your map and position yourself really accurately,

309
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: so it's really a lot easier to catch the waves.

310
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 4: Emily Maxie wants me to ask the last question.

311
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 5: Okay, go ahead, Louise.

312
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 4: All right, here I go. There was a rescue dog

313
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 4: named Abby Girl, and she became the dog that surfed

314
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,000
