Famously, Tatiana Weston-Webb was already getting barreled at places like Pipeline in utero, riding in her mother, professional bodyboarder Tanira Guimaraes' belly.
Born in Brazil, but moving to Hawaii at just a couple months old, Tatiana grew up in one of surfing's most underground fertile crescents, her surfing shaped by the same waves that molded some of the most well-rounded surfers on earth: Keala Kennely, Dustin Barca, Andy and Bruce Irons just to name a few.
Tatiana has earned a reputation as one of the most consistent, steely-nerved, powerful surfers on tour. An adopted member of the Brazilian Storm and now married to longtime beau, Sao Paolo's Jesse Mendes, Tatiana made a point of putting in time at places like Pipeline and Teahupo'o years before the locations were officially added to the Women's ‘CT.
Qualifying for the ‘CT in 2015, Tatiana has won events at venues as diverse as J-Bay, Margaret River, Peniche, the U.S Open of Surfing, and finishing runner-up in a ridiculously right battle for the World Title against Carassa Moore at the 2022 Rip Curl WSL Finals.
