Friday night and the kids are all right...

This is the local celebrity - Bethany Hamilton. She is a young surfer girl who got her arm bitten off by a 14-foot tiger shark on October 31, 2003 while surfing around here. You should visit her website and read her amazing story (www.bethanyhamilton.com/bio.htm). We came to watch the sunset at Blackpot beach but I was struck by the fun atmosphere - the water is filled with the local kids surfing and playing on the small waves.
