With her pregnancy, Hamilton will have her hand full with teaching her brood surfing. The video showed her boys were taking her lessons home, as evidenced by Tobias’s impressive surfing towards the end.

Hamilton’s fans will have to wait to find out about the gender of the baby in her womb as the professional surfer did not mention it in her adorable announcement.

Hamilton began surfing at an early age and became one of the best surfers as she grew older. However, she faced a near-death experience at the age of 13 when a shark attacked her in 2003.

She went surfing with her best friend, her best friend’s father, and brothers in Hawaii. The company was enjoying their surfing experience when a tiger shark showed up and attacked Hamilton.

The shark bit her left arm, severing it in the process. Immediately after the attack, Hamilton’s best friend and her family helped her to the shore and rushed her to a hospital.

Though she had lost more than half of her blood and was in hypovolemic shock, the brave surfer survived the attack. A fisherman later caught and killed the tiger shark that attacked her.

Despite her near-death experience, Hamilton’s love for surfing never died. She returned to the sea 26 days after her attack and has won many competitions since then. Added to her beautiful family, Hamilton’s story is one with an ending that is about to become happier.
