How closely did you work with her, in finding this character? Were there specific things that really helped you in, in figuring out who Bethany is? The Hamiltons were really involved on set and with the entire project, from the very first draft and the conception of the film to promoting it. Through my surf training, surfing with her, and just being in that culture and environment, I really fell in love with surfing and fell in love with the ocean. Was there anything that most impressed you or surprised you about her, when you got to know her?
ROBB: She surprises me every day, honestly. Everything is no big deal. She surfs with one arm. What physical training did you have to do for this, not just with learning how to surf, but also so that you looked like a surfer? And then, once I got to Hawaii, I trained for about six weeks. There was a lot of paddling in the ocean. That was tiring, but so worth it. And then, I changed my diet to eat more protein and gain some muscle. ROBB: Surfing is so much work. I make a fool out of myself, every time I go out there.
There are more people who get struck by lightning than there are shark attacks. But, Bethany just told me to not look down, so I try not to. She just does it all. She does more with her one arm than I do with my two. ROBB: I was so pumped. They did such a good job. I was a little worried about that.
