Bethany Hamilton-Dirks has made a lasting impression on many with the courage and grace shown after losing her left arm to a shark attack at age 13. Fourteen years later, she has left a lasting impression in the cement fronting Huntington Surf & Sport.

“Always Hope” the 27-year-old wrote on the sidewalk Friday morning as she and Mick Fanning were inducted into the Surfers Hall of Fame in Huntington Beach, Calif. The two joined the other surfing legends, adding their names and hand and footprints on the plaza at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Main Street.

Hamilton-Dirks, a Kauai native, has lived that motto of “Always Hope” since her Oct. 31, 2003 encounter with a 14-foot tiger shark off Tunnels Beach, returning to the ocean a month later and — within two years — winning three national amateur championships.

In 2007, she turned pro, a career highlighted by two Pipeline Women’s Pro titles (2007 and 2014) and a third-place finish at last year’s Fiji Women’s Pro, where she upset two of the top-seeded women on the world tour. Her autobiography “Soul Surfer” became a New York Times best seller and was made into a movie.

“We are honored and excited to induct Mick and Bethany into the Surfers’ Hall of Fame this coming August,” Surfers’ Hall of Fame founder Aaron Pai said in a press release. “They are the king and the queen of surfing.

“Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration to millions through her story of determination, faith and hope. Amazing surfer. Amazing athlete. Amazing person.”

“Hope is such a key thing you need in life to get past tough times,” Hamilton-Dirks said during the induction ceremony. “Surfing has brought me a lot of hope. It’s been a fun journey.”

The ceremony was held in conjunction with the U.S. Open of Surfing held across the street off the Huntington Pier.
