CNN Video(CNN) - In 2003, when Hawaiian surfer Bethany Hamilton was just 13 years old, she lost her arm in a shark attack while surfing in Kauai. Her positive approach has also given her a unique perspective on life after the attack. She won the National Scholastic Surfing Association National Championship for the 18-and-under age group in 2005. Her unique journey and positive perspective has inspired people around the world and has now manifested itself into a documentary, 'Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable.' As good a surfer as Hamilton is, she is not immune to wipeouts, but every time she gets knocked down, she gets back on her board.

After a recent spate of shark attacks, which left two people dead and one teen without a leg, "Soul Surfer" Bethany Hamilton has advice for those victims who have been forced to find a new normal. She was thrust into the international spotlight when a tiger shark bit her while she was surfing off Hawaii in 2003. Hamilton told InsideEdition.com that she wants these recent shark attack victims to know there is hope in their hardship. They can look at my life and just see that there's hope beyond their situation," she said. It isnt something like, Oh, how tragic, a 17-year-old lost a leg. No, a 17-year-old lost a leg and we are still poppin, she said.

Hamilton shattered expectations of what a shark attack victim looked like and inspired others to find hope in what may seem like the roughest of waters. Now, with a new documentary called "Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable," she is sharing her story of perseverance and faith on the big screen. So just one month after the attack, Hamilton was back on her board. With "Unstoppable," Hamilton wants people to see themselves in her.
