Bianca Buitendag is a South African professional surfer. She has represented South Africa at the 2020 Summer Olympics where she won silver in the women's shortboard competition.

Life

Buitendag was born in [[Cape Town, Western Cape], Western Cape, South Africa on 9 November 1993. She grew up near the beach of False Bay outside of Cape Town. With her father's encouragement she learned to surf at the age of eight with her two brothers. When she was twelve her family moved to the Southern Cape region of South Africa. Bianca only spoke Afrikaans when she first went to school, so her parents decided to put her in an English school.

In 2015 her father, Collin Buitendag, died. She was still able to finish at her career-best at World No. 4. The following year she was ranked No 12 in the world.
