Biography

Justyna is the first and only Polish female wave rider on the Wave World Tour. She’s an undefeated Polish Wave Champion since 2003, and also holds an Australian National champion title, 2x BWA Tour Champion titles and a vice-world champion of indoor jump title. Competing on the World Tour on and off since 2011, in 2019 she finished top three overall on the PWA Wave World Tour after advancing to four finals throughout the year against some of the long-standing World Champions.

After a two year break due to pandemic Justyna became the vice-world champion ranking 2nd overall on the PWA Wave World Tour in 2022.

In the following two years her participation at World Tour events was put on hold several times due to a broken hand, followed by a broken foot and eventually a tumour removal surgery last fall.

The event in Chile is the first event of her come back to full time competing, and she hopes to compete the full year of 5-star events injury free in 2025.
