Shark Attack Survivor, Bethany Welcomes Son, Shares First Photo

 

Professional-surfer and shark attack survivor, Bethany Hamilton welcomed her new born son with her husband on June 1.

 

The female surfer lost her arm and 60 per cent of the blood in her body at age 13, when she was attacked by a shark while surfing off the coast of Kauai. Incredibly, she survived the attack.

 

The now 25-year-old and husband Adam Dirks announced the news on Twitter and shared a first picture of the baby with fans.

 

Hamilton, who lost her arm in a 2003 shark attack, shared the happy news with followers on Instagram on Monday, June 15.

 

'Blessed to welcome our son, Tobias, into the world! #stokedmomma,' she captioned it.
