Personal life
Within two weeks of Tatiana’s birth in Brazil she and her parents moved back to Hawaii in an effort to get Tatiana dual citizenship. Her mother (Tanira Weston-Webb) is Brazilian and was a professional body boarder and her Father is American and has always been around surfing and enjoys the ocean life. Tatiana learned to surf when she was 8 years old by watching her older brother Troy. In 2015 she secured a spot in the World Championship Tour. [1] Tatiana got into surfing because of Troy, they would play on the shore break and he told their father that he wanted to try surfing so she joined and surfing became a competition for them. She got her very own surfboard when she was eight years old.[3]
