But in terms of a high-level surfer that people around the world know and respected, he's the first that I'm aware of,
We can confirm that it was one of our own ... North Shore lifeguard Tamayo Perry,
Tamayo Perry ... man, this one is hard to believe,
Tamayo’s personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more,
For a while, he was one of the top, top, top people out there,
The lessons I’ve taken from that event have inspired me to my goal of instilling proper surf etiquette and safety into those whom I teach,
The things we have seen!
Bad days are always cancelled when you’re hanging out with this beautiful & wonderful mermaid!
His heroic actions and tireless efforts to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors will never be forgotten,
It is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of one of our incredibly dedicated City and County of Honolulu lifeguards, who tragically lost his life today in an apparent shark attack on the North Shore,
As we grieve this unimaginable loss, we are reminded of the inherent risks faced by our lifeguards daily, and we extend our deepest gratitude for their service,
When I was 18 years old, I came to Hawaii for a competition and met Tamayo while bodyboarding out at Pipeline. A few years later, I picked up a surfboard, we got married and there was no turning back, ... The vast amounts of ocean knowledge that Tamayo has ingrained in me over the years is priceless.”
When I’m not acting, I’m still quite a character, so there’s always a ton of fun to be had,
Tamayo was a legendary waterman and highly respected,
Tamayo was a legendary waterman and highly respected [...] a great member of our Ocean Safety team; it’s just really hard to imagine, so we just want to pay our respects to our guys,
Our condolences go out to Tamayo’s family and to the entire lifeguard ohana. We’re asking for some privacy for his family at this time,
A number of years ago, while surfing Pipeline on the Extra Large size, I was involved in a near fatal experience,
As a devoted waterman, I've gained a tremendous amount of knowledge, not only from what I've accomplished, but also from what I've suffered,
He's a professional surfer known worldwide
Tamayo Perry was a lifeguard loved by all, well-known on the North Shore, a professional surfer known worldwide around the world,
