Justyna is the first and only Polish Wave Rider on the PWA Professional Windsurfers Association Wave World Tour.
Finishing second at the PWA World Cup in Gran Canaria, she made a stamp for her country as the first wave rider from Poland to ever step on the PWA podium (men and women).
Born and raised in Warsaw Poland, miles away from the ocean, Justyna was not predisposed to become a big wave charger, but she did and she has pushed female windsurfing ever since.
A somewhat unusual character on the Professional Windsurfers scene (she studies and works full time while training and using holiday leave for events) she won 3 national tours to date (Australian, British and Polish) and consistently finished top 4 on the PWA Wave Tour.
In 2019 she decided to fully dedicate her time to windsurfing and finished Top 3 Overall on the PWA World Tour after advancing to 4 finals throughout the year against some of the long-standing world champions.
After 2 year break due to pandemic. Justyna became the Vice World Champion ranking 2nd on the PWA Wave World Tour in 2022.
