Tatiana Weston-Webb - Headstrong Rookie to Contender, Social Media's Downside, Waves of Consequence

WSL commentator Joe Turpel talks with Championship Tour current number three Tatiana Weston-Webb in the midst of their 14-day Australian quarantine. Tatiana talks about everything from growing up on the island of Kauai, her wedding to fellow surfer Jesse Mendes, and the mentorship of her brother Troy, to the drawbacks of social media. With all eyes on the return of the Championship Tour, Tatiana shares her journey to compete again after injury. Now feeling 100%, Tatiana has been filling her days training, preparing for not only the upcoming WSL events but for her Olympic debut where she has provisionally qualified to represent Brazil. Looking back at the Maui Pro presented by ROXY, she talks us through her mindset when she was one of four women to surf the infamous wave at Pipeline.
