Born in São Paulo on July 18, 1994, to a Brazilian mother and American father, Tatiana Weston-Webb moved to Hawaii at age eight, where she began surfing on the North Shore of Oahu. Her multicultural background and early exposure to some of the world's most challenging surf breaks shaped her distinctive approach to competitive surfing.

Competing at Tsurigasaki Beach, she secured the silver medal, becoming one of surfing's first Olympic medallists and cementing her place in sporting history.
