Surfing Star Amputee Heading Into Water
PRINCEVILLE, Hawaii - A 13-year-old surfing star who survived a shark attack says she'll head back into the water on Thanksgiving Day.
\"I can't wait to get out,\" Bethany Hamilton told CNN on Tuesday. \"I'm really excited and not really scared of any sharks.
\"I want to make sure that I catch the first wave on my own with no one else's help, and I want to stay out for as long as I can,\" she said.
Bethany lost her left arm when she was attacked by a shark Oct. 31. The competitive surfer — who already had secured sponsorships and was expected to go pro — spent six days recovering in a hospital.
Bethany heads to New York next week for a second round of national television appearances.
