The teaser trailer for Soul Surfer the movie based on the story of surfer Bethany Hamilton is online. Hamilton became a media sensation after her recovery from a tiger shark attack and her comeback to the world of surfing.

Soul Surfer, which opens in U.S. theaters on April 8, stars AnnaSophia Robb, Helen Hunt, and Denis Quaid.

Kudos to those behind the trailer for Soul Surfer for focusing on Hamilton’s triumph and not playing up the shark attack element in the trailer.
