Tamayo Perry

He grew up around the corner from the North Shore's famous and deadly Banzai Pipeline, where he would become a regular presence[8][9] and would go on to ride some of his most prominent waves.

[21][22] The incident was widely reported, and alongside the fatal injury of Malik Joyeux that same year, was cited to encourage surfers to wear helmets when surfing reef breaks.

[24] After his recovery, the experience encouraged him to start a career as a lifeguard, where he would be in a position to highlight the importance of surf etiquette and safety.

[13] In 2020, he was involved in the rescue of Tomy Dragich, a Peruvian big-wave surfer who hit his head on his board and was knocked unconscious while surfing at Sunset Beach in Oahu.

[28] On June 23, 2024, Perry was attacked by a shark near Goat Island, while surfing off Oahu's North Shore.
