Surfing legend and ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ actor Tamayo Perry killed in Hawaii shark attack

Surfing legend Tamayo Perry has died following a shark attack in Oahu, Hawaii.

Perry, who appeared in the fourth “Pirates Of The Caribbean” film, was attacked near Goat Island on Sunday. He was 49.

He was found off Mālaekahana Beach on Oahu’s North Shore by local surfers with an arm and a leg missing, Stab Magazine reported.

The horrific incident was reported by a bystander who spotted a man suffering from shark bites, Honolulu’s emergency services said.

Perry was taking a surfing break from lifeguard duties when the ordeal took place just before 1 p.m. local time.

Emergency services brought Perry to shore on Malaekahana Beach, where paramedics tried to resuscitate him.

But Perry — an Ocean Safety lifeguard and surfing instructor — was pronounced dead just moments later, officials said.

Ocean Safety personnel put up shark warnings in the surrounding area following the fatal attack.

“He’s well known on the North Shore. He’s a professional surfer known worldwide,” said Kurt Lager, acting Honolulu Ocean Safety chief.

“Tamayo’s personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more,” he said, adding that Perry was “a lifeguard loved by all.”

“Tamayo was a legendary waterman and highly respected,” Honolulu mayor Rick Blangiardi said, calling Perry’s death “a tragic loss.”

Perry, who had worked as a lifeguard on the North Shore at the time of his death, kickstarted his career with the Ocean Safety department in 2016.

Prior to that, Perry had appeared in a series of blockbuster films, including the 2002 film “Blue Crush,” “Lost,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and “Hawaii Five-0.”

He also appeared in the 2003 film “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.”

Born in 1975, the Hawaii-native took up surfing at age 12 and soon earned his stripes as an “up-and-coming local boy who had to borrow surf boards because he had no sponsors,” per The Encyclopedia of Surfing.

“By 1997, the wiry goofy-footer had gone a long way to developing a tube riding style, combining traits from Gerry Lopez and Tom Carroll, his two favorite old-school Pipeline surfers.”

Two years later, Perry won the Pipeline Masters — an annual surfing competition held in Oahu.

In 2005, he was widely regarded as one of the area’s most prominent surfers.

Perry’s death marks the second fatal shark attack in Oahu this month.
