The inspirational Bethany Hamilton has been awarded a wildcard into the 2015 Swatch Pro at Lower Trestles. Just three months since giving birth to a baby boy, she’s back with a bang and has never looked so sharp on a sled.
Here we see her absolutely ripping the hell out of some classic Lowers walls, chatting about what it means to be back competing and the opinion of a certain Mr Slater. Hamilton seems super happy and confident going into the event quoting “I believe I can win if I compete smart and surf well” – and she sure is surfing well.
On a side note, we noticed Kelly with a revolutionary Tomo under his arm. Will he surf it during a heat? We’re hoping so! You can get the scoop and see our picks for the Hurley Pro here.
