Earlier this week, sixteen-year-old Lulu Gribbon of Mountain Brook accomplished a feat many people would not attempt. In June, Lulu survived a bull shark attack that left her as a double amputee.

During her recovery period, Lulu persevered, anchored by her faith and supported by her family. She healed, returned to school, and even returned to the golf course to hit a few golf balls.

Lulu’s latest and possibly greatest triumph so far happened this week. She returned to the ocean, fearlessly climbed up on her surfboard, and rode the waves with a huge smile on her face. Check it out:
