Change path and paddle into the white water solely to get smoked to shore after 15 min of straight paddling, or run like a rat to the shoulder. With out a hesitation, I took the cheese and thought I used to be within the clear. I made it out the again and figured the surfer was unhindered. Winded, I made it again to the lineup and I hear roaring coming from the within. “Who tha fuck was that in my line?!” I already knew. “Shit.” I believed to myself. That’s fucking Tamayo Perry. Gaddmanit u rat bastard Cliff. U know higher. As he sprinted in the direction of me, I did what any 19 yr previous Hilo boy would’ve performed. I sat up on my board and braced for impression. As he received inside toes of me, he appeared in my eyes and requested if it was me. I informed him it was in actual fact me and that it was my fault. Calming down, he paddle proper up and took his helmet off. He confirmed me his scars on his head from almost dying simply the yr earlier than and preceded to yell on the high of his lungs, “this shit is for fucking actual out right here.” He put his helmet again on and paddled away. Through the years I might share waves with him at different reefs, one being a slab that was misplaced to the lava right here on large island. I by no means requested him if he remembered me being that child however I at all times had a sense he knew. Thats how shut I used to be to Tamayo, near getting an ass beating. Relaxation in energy to a terrific trainer for therefore many together with myself. We actually misplaced a fucking actual one.”

From Emilia (his spouse) on his surf college Instagram, @OahuSurfingExperience —
“All of us need to be the hero of our personal story, one of many redeeming traits of humanity is our need to observe our convictions at all times and with out worry. Few of us are in a position to actually be that hero, Tamayo Perry was is and can be perpetually. He was everybody’s large brother, stern and uncompromising with an infectious and kolohe smile. He was your rescuer in time of want, your security when all issues fell aside. He was a knight cast within the fires of the North Shore within the 90’s, his religion in Christ the rock upon which he stood. Few are those that actually observe within the footsteps of Jesus, Tamayo by no means took his eyes off the trail. Tragic although his passing could also be, he left this world doing what he beloved the place he beloved to do it. We discover power in understanding he’s in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ, buying and selling barrels at Pipeline along with his associates which have gone earlier than him.”

49-year-old Tamayo was a gifted Pipe specialist, Hollywood stuntman, father, and good friend. He suffered a deadly shark assault close to Laie, Hawaii earlier at this time. We hope to maintain his legacy in our minds proper now and be taught much more about him from his family members within the days to come back. Thanks in your devotion to browsing, Tamayo.
