Profile for Bianca Buitendag

bbuitendag Action Sports Athlete

Growing up excelling on many athletic and academic fronts, Bianca Buitendag grew up proud of her South African heritage, but was nonetheless ready to hit the road after she won the World Juniors at Narrabeen at 17. As a young amateur, Bianca bonded seamlessly with Reunion Island�s Johanne Defay and, along with Roxy coach Mathias Maallem, the two charged the QS in 2012. Bianca only made one round in seven months before winning two QS�s by the end of the year. After those typically tough rookie and sophomore seasons, she made three CT finals in 2015 to finish the season ranked #4. Her best result this year was a 3rd-place at the Fiji Women�s Pro, won, serendipitously enough, by good friend Johanne Defay.
