Adam Warchol is a Polish big wave surfer and windsurfer, born on 26 September 2001 in Warsaw. At the age of six he moved to Tarifa in Spain, where he began his journey into the big waves. His record is in the under-20 category of the Professional Windsurfers Association World Tour, where he became the first Polish athlete to reach the podium, with two podium finishes. He has also won International Windsurfing Tour competitions in two categories, including the 2021 Big Wave Youth Biggest Ride and the 2021 Biggest Wipeout, and took the Polish Championship at the Baltica Polish Surfing Challenge in 2021. His best known claim is a windsurfed wave of 62 feet, about 19.5 meters, ridden at Jaws in Hawaii, which his biography says would exceed the biggest wave ever windsurfed once officially ratified.
