Hamilton, 32, posted an inspirational video of herself working out, caring for her children, and surfing with one arm on Monday. She was 13 when a shark assaulted her while surfing off the coast of Kauai, Hawaii, in 2003. Hamilton's left arm was missing as well as 60% of her body's blood. However, she did not allow the incident to destroy her surfing aspirations, and she started competing competitively four years later in 2007. Hamilton argued in her post's caption that after losing her arm by shifting her mindset, she was able to adapt to her new circumstances.
