Bethany was at a favorite surf spot known as "The Tunnels" with family friend Holt Blanchard; his daughter, Alana, who is Bethany's best friend; and Blanchard's son, Byron. The attack happened so quickly that none of the surfers around her ever saw the shark — believed to be a foot-long tiger shark — or her struggle with it. At first, he said, he thought she was kidding because he never saw any splashing or struggle or heard her scream.
Blanchard said he knew he had to act quickly. Still yards from shore, Blanchard said he thought to himself, "How am I going to get her in before she bleeds to death? Using his surfboard leash, Blanchard fashioned a makeshift tourniquet for Bethany and led her to shore. Throughout the terrifying ordeal, Bethany remained calm. I was thinking, 'I wonder if I'm going to lose my sponsor. Bethany has shown extraordinary grace in her recovery, telling family and friends that she plans to keep a positive attitude and, remarkably, that she plans to get back on her board and surf as soon as her arm heals.

A massive, foot, 6-inch tiger shark that may, or may not, be the animal that attacked North Shore surfer Bethany Hamilton was hauled in Thursday at Hanalei.
Bill Hamilton and Ralph Young, veteran Hanalei surfers and fishermen, began their hunt for the shark on Tuesday night following about a day period of ongoing reports of a large tiger shark cruising surf spots in and around Hanalei Bay.
That shark took the entire mooring system. On Tuesday night Young and Hamilton set the bait using a rig they put together with the help of Hanalei firefighter Bruce Chapin. On Wednesday morning they found nothing had taken the bait, the same on Wednesday night. Hamilton said their system of buoys they rigged was buoyant enough to hold the dead pound tiger shark.
