Bethany Hamilton remains a leading figure in professional surfing and resilience storytelling, after overcoming a shark attack and returning to competition and writing. This week’s news centers on Lulu’s Law—shark-attack alerts—highlighting ongoing debates about safety and awareness in coastal communities.
