A 49-year-old native of that area, Perry earned far-flung recognition not just for his ability to ride huge waves but also for having portrayed characters in several films and TV shows, including "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" and "Hawaii Five-0." "Tragic though his passing may be," read a message posted Monday on the Instagram account of a surfing instruction business Perry ran with his wife, "he left this world doing what he loved where he loved to do it." https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/06/24/tamayo-perry-dies-shark-attack-actor-surfer/
