"I was holding onto my board, with my thumb, because I probably didn't want to get pulled under. It was like pulling me back and forth, not like pulling me underwater. Just like, you know how you eat a piece of steak? It was kind of like that."
Eventually, she won the Explorer Women's division at the 2005 NSSA National Championships. One of the successful author and public speakers, Hamilton publicized her experiences in a documentary movie that made her popular.
