A lifeguard and surf instructor, known for his appearances in films such as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Blue Crush, tragically passed away on Sunday, reportedly as a result of a suspected shark attack on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, according to officials.

Tamayo Perry, aged 49, was a distinguished waterman from North Shore and had dedicated eight years of service to Honolulu Ocean Safety, as stated by Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi.

It is with deep sorrow that we express our condolences for the loss of a devoted lifeguard from the City and County of Honolulu, who sadly lost his life today due to a suspected shark attack on the North Shore,” stated Blangiardi. “Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fellow Ocean Safety personnel during this profoundly challenging period.

Perry demonstrated exceptional courage, steadfast commitment, and a profound sense of responsibility, serving our community with relentless dedication. Blangiardi remarked that his heroic deeds and unflagging efforts to safeguard the well-being of our residents and visitors will always be remembered.

The Honolulu Emergency Services Department released a statement indicating that a surfer sustained fatal injuries due to a shark attack near Goat Island on June 23, shortly before 1 p.m. local time.

The individual who contacted emergency services stated that the surfer’s body exhibited numerous bite marks.

Lifeguards retrieved his body from the water using a Jet Ski, and emergency medical services personnel pronounced him dead at the location, according to officials. The surfer was identified as Perry, as confirmed by Ocean Safety.

Acting Chief Kurt Lager of Honolulu Ocean Safety remarked during a press conference, “Tamayo Perry was a cherished lifeguard among everyone.”

Emilia Perry, a fellow surfer, remarked about her husband, ‘Although his passing is tragic, he departed this life while engaging in his passion, in the place he cherished most.’

As reported by Surfer magazine, Perry was celebrated for his proficiency at Pipeline, a globally recognized surf break situated near Ehukai Beach Park on the northern coast of Oahu.

According to the Encyclopedia of Surfing, he shared a close friendship with singer Jack Johnson and was born and raised on the eastern side of Oahu.

Perry and his partner operated a surf school collaboratively on the North Shore of Oahu.

On Monday, expressions of sympathy were received from all corners of the surfing community.
