Ocean Safety personnel have since put up shark warnings in the surrounding area following the fatal attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s well known on the North Shore. He\u2019s a professional surfer known worldwide,\u201d said Kurt Lager, acting Honolulu Ocean Safety chief.<\/p>\n

\u201cTamayo\u2019s personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more,” he added before saying that Perry was a ‘lifeguard loved by all’.<\/p>\n

\u201cTamayo was a legendary waterman and highly respected,\u201d Honolulu mayor Rick Blangiardi said.<\/p>\n

He also labelled Perry’s death as ‘a tragic loss’.<\/p>\n

Perry made a name himself as a surfer who could tackle the infamous Pipeline wave which breaks at Ehukai beach in Oahu.<\/p>\n

He often took part in the Pipeline Master Trials over the years and even took home the trophy in 1999.<\/p>\n

Perry’s impressive surfing skills caught the eye of TV and film producers over the years too, seeing him make appearances in the likes of the 2002 flick\u00a0Blue Crush,\u00a0<\/em>2003’s\u00a0Charlie\u2019s Angels 2\u00a0<\/em>as well as several episodes of\u00a0Hawaii Five-O.<\/em><\/p>\n

But many will of course know Perry for his appearance in 2011’s\u00a0Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides<\/em>, which saw him work alongside the likes of Johnny Depp, Pen\u00e9lope Cruz and Ian McShane.<\/p>\n

Perry was selected alongside four others from a pool of nearly 7,000 people who auditioned for the role in 2010.<\/p>\n

“I had to get pretty nasty to stand out,” he said of his audition. “There were some herniated squints.”<\/p>\n

The surfer obviously impressed as he formed part of a small gang of people who the production crew referred to as ‘core pirates’, rather than extras.<\/p>\n

“We are right there in your face,” Perry said of the role in an interview with the Star Advertiser before the movie’s release.<\/p>\n

“It is going to be in 3D, and you are going to get more of us than you want. We\u2019re some bad-boy pirates.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
