Tatiana Weston-Webb Surfs at 31 Weeks Pregnant (Video)

At 31 weeks pregnant, Tati still paddled out (both on a longboard and shortboard) for a few waves before the baby arrives in just a few more weeks. And her pro surfing cohort was quick to applaud the Olympic silver medalist from the Paris 2024 Games:

“Belly up paddle?” – Italo Ferreira

“sooo good!! amazing tati” – Bettylou Sakura Johnson

“That gives ‘baby on board’ a whole new meaning. Love it!!” – Erin Brooks

Following the Olympics, Tati did some soul searching. As mentioned, she decided to take a break from competitive surfing to focus on herself, mental health, and personal growth outside of the jersey. In a recent interview, Tati told SURFER:

“It wasn’t a decision I took lightly. Over time, I started noticing signs of emotional exhaustion creeping in—things like persistent fatigue, lack of motivation, and difficulty finding joy in competition. I thought I could push through it, but there came a point where I realized I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I reached a mental threshold where continuing on the same path would only make things worse.”

With many big names in pro surfing returning to the Championship Tour in 2026 – including a fellow new mommy in Carissa Moore – perhaps Tati’s comeback is nigh. But first, she’s got to pop out that new baby. Should be coming very soon.

A preemptive congrats to both Tati and Jesse.
