Surfing Legend Tamayo Perry Tragically Killed In Shark Attack

By -

Renowned surfer Tamayo Perry, who once appeared in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," has tragically lost his life in a shark attack while surfing off the shores of Oahu.

The 49-year-old was discovered off Mālaekahana Beach on Oahu's North Shore by fellow surfers, who found him with severe injuries, including missing an arm and a leg, according to Stab Magazine. First responders indicated that Perry appeared to have suffered multiple shark bites.

Lifeguards swiftly brought Perry to shore using a jetski, but paramedics pronounced him dead upon arrival, officials confirmed in a news conference. Following the attack, Ocean Safety personnel posted shark warnings in the area.

Perry's surfing journey began at the age of 12. By his teenage years, he was known as the "quiet up-and-coming local boy" who had to borrow surfboards due to a lack of sponsors, as noted in The Encyclopedia of Surfing.

"By 1997, the wiry goofy-footer had developed a unique tube-riding style, blending traits from his two favorite old-school Pipeline surfers, Gerry Lopez and Tom Carroll," the encyclopedia states.

Just two years later, Perry clinched the Pipeline Masters title. By 2005, he had cemented his reputation as one of Pipeline's most prominent surfers, known for his infectious smile and effortless poise while tackling massive waves.

Perry's charm and talent extended beyond the surf, landing him roles in the 2002 hit "Blue Crush," the TV series "Lost," "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," and "Hawaii Five-0." 

His loss is deeply felt in the surfing community and beyond, as friends and fans remember him for his extraordinary skills and charismatic presence both in and out of the water.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.
