The event includes live music, special guests, and plenty of giveaways for attendees. Hamilton will participate in a special meet and greet with fans, and share an inspirational message of hope and resilience. Bethany will also update fans on her latest project, SURFS LIKE A GIRL, a surf film which showcases her as one of the best women surfers in the world, and is set to release in Spring 2017. Hamilton, now 26, has begun a new chapter – being a mom. Hamilton and husband, Adam Dirks, are proud parents to Tobias Dirks, and are enjoying sharing their world travels as a family. Bethany’s Limited Edition Signature Sandal collection by Cobian, is available for purchase at 7th Street Surf Shop, Heritage Surf Shops,  or Surfers Supplies. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this signature sandal collection will be donated to “Friends of Bethany,” a non-profit organization supporting shark attack survivors and amputees. “I live in sandals, so comfort and style are key ingredients to my collection,” says Hamilton. “It's been fun to help design the line and share a little bit of what I like to wear in my daily life.” While admission to the event is FREE, the first 200 customers who make a Cobian sandal purchase from the retailers mentioned will receive a VIP wristband that will grant them access to an exclusive meet and greet with Bethany during the event.
