The Inertia

We put it to you, Instagrammers, to capture Hurricane Marie in all her power and beauty. And holy hell did you ever.

With waves measuring upwards of 20-25 feet in certain places, Marie slammed the California coastline like few storms have in recent memory, and the tagging began.

Dusty Payne said Newport Point was just as powerful as any wave he’s gotten at Pipe, which makes us think of this. And if that’s not enough, Jamie O’Brien’s board transfer at The Wedge brought down the house.

It wasn’t all about Orange County, though. As this gallery shows, spots all over the California coastline went berserk. If the above proof isn’t enough, you can get your fill here, here, here, here, here and here. Phew!

If you shot any photos or video that you’d like us to check out, send over to contribute@theinertia.com. Happy surfing and shooting!
