Aloha Family and Friends, The amount of love and support received is overwhelming and incredibly humbling. We invite you to join us as we celebrate Tamayo Perry’s life at Ehukai Beach Park on Sunday, July 14th at 3pm. The generosity shown is deeply moving. These funds will be used to support Emilia as she navigates the future without Tamayo; her husband, best friend and provider. We will continue to share Tamayo’s message of love, faith in Jesus Christ, and living life to the absolute fullest with the people you care about. “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 Mahalo, Emilia Perry To make a donation please follow the link in bio.

We all want to be the hero of our own story, one of the redeeming characteristics of humanity is our desire to follow our convictions always and without fear. Few of us are able to truly be that hero, Tamayo Perry was is and will be forever. He was everyone’s big brother, stern and uncompromising with an infectious and kolohe smile. He was your rescuer in time of need, your safety when all things fell apart. He was a knight forged in the fires of the North Shore in the 90’s, his faith in Christ the rock upon which he stood. Few are those who truly follow in the footsteps of Jesus, Tamayo never took his eyes off the path. Tragic though his passing may be, he left this world doing what he loved where he loved to do it. We find strength in knowing he is in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ, trading barrels at Pipeline with his friends that have gone before him. Tamayo’s Celebration of Life will take place at Ehukai Beach Park on Sunday, July 14th at 3pm. Thank you for everyone’s outpouring of love and support.

TAMATO says : #throwbackthursday “To that #time when I simultaneously landed the #cover & the inside spread of #surfing #magazine. It was captioned something like, ‘Tamayo’s #amazing, bucking foam ball ride.’ This #image of me in the belly of the #beast, was taken by #photo 📷@friedenpete during the trials of the 2000 Billabong Pro at Teahupo’o, #tahiti. There was a lot of unfair #surf #politics that went down during that event & I lost out on name sake alone during what the ASP coined at the time, ‘The #super #final. I got the bad side of the juicing by the judges & lost to @kellyslater , #andyirons & Vetea David. They advanced to the main event & I was sent packing. Needless to say, I made this #miracle of a foam ball ride & was successfully & violently blown out into the safety of the channel. Ah Yes! #good times.” - #extreme #wave junky. #love the #life . #enjoy the ride . #surfer #tamayoperry . #waves are #beautiful #blue #jewels from the #sea . #surf with the best @oahusurfingexperience @3rdstonehawaii @waialuasurfshop @bushmansurfboards @futuresfins

TAMATO says : “ Nobody wants to go to war, but the existence of oppression & evil truly exists. Easier said then done, but I absolutely believe it’s better to die a free man, then to live a life as a slave. An even more difficult decision, is the person who willingly gives their life for others & who fights for the ideals of real freedom for the entire human race. God bless the men & women past & present who have valiantly sacrificed the ultimate, so we can enjoy a free & beautiful way of life. Hope everyone enjoyed their day today & for at least a brief moment, were thankful & remembered that to maintain freedom, it can come with a heavy price. Happy Memorial Day to all who value freedom & sacrifice. “ - #happy #memorialday #God #bless #america let #freedom #reign #life & #liberty & the pursuit of #happiness #thankyou for your #sacrifice . #live #love #laugh . #beautiful #souls . #fight for #good .

Romans 5:8 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. John 3: 16-17 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 11: 25-26 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Resurrection Sunday Prayer : Oh Lord, You loved the souls of humanity that reside in this world so much that you gave your one and only begotten Son, that we might be called your children too. Lord, help us to live in the gladness and grace of Resurrection Sunday every day. Let us have hearts of thankfulness for your sacrifice. Let us have eyes that look upon Your grace and rejoice in our salvation. Please help us to walk in that mighty grace and tell your good news to the world. All for Your glory do we pray, Lord, Amen. 🌈🙏🕊️👑❤️ #happy #resurrectionday #glory #thanks & #praise to the #king of #kings & #lord of #lords. #He is #risen. #amazinggrace . #awesome & #amazing . #ultimate #love #forgiveness #mercy #faith #grace #hope #peace #joy #happines .

TAMATO says : “ Thank you Jesus for breath of life. Thank you Jesus for the life you have given me. Thank you Jesus for your perfect love.

TAMATO says : “ Visceral Dreaming caught on #film 🎞️ 😵‍💫😴. This was back in the day when I used to work with one of the most #creative #water #photographers ever, only known as @nellysmagicmoments 📸🏄‍♂️💥 . Generally, you could only attempt this type of Flash Photo two times a day, with limited capturing potential. Really a hit or miss kind of photo shoot. It was either right after the sun set, which I didn’t mind or early in the morning which I absolutely hated. To be very clear, I loath getting up early! When Nelly would petition me for an early morning Flash Shoot, I would literally be squirming in my bed with dread the night before. As I mentioned, this type of #photography doesn’t always have a high percentage of guarantee, but Nelly was so #good at his #skillset that I had to accept and entertain his every offer of opportunity. Here proudly posted & documented, is a classic moment in time of our difficult endeavors & a 100% reaping of the fruits of our labor.

TAMATO says : “ Since I was a young boy, I’ve always been obsessed with Black & White Photography. I just knew without knowing, that Ansel Adams was the man! When an artistic creator or lensman is that good at the discipline of B&W, he or she can literally bring a one dimensional image to 3-Dimensional life using only but a mere three colors on the color wheel. The simplicity of utilizing nothing more then Black, White & Gray is just an absolutely fascinating concept. Of course light, contrast, grain & maybe a bit of tint factor in; but to see a talented artist utilizing photography in its most rudimentary form & absolutely nailing it is just nothing shy of awe inspiring. “ #brilliant & #beautiful #photo by @steveryanphotography #photograph taken in 2022. #teahupoo #tahiti #surfer #tamayoperry This #wave is like an #amazing #blackpearl from the #sea . #nature & the #great #outdoors. #black & #white #photography #black&whitephotography #b&w #film #adventure #explore #surfing is #life the rest is detail. #learn to #surf with the #best @oahusurfingexperience @futuresfins @3rdstonehawaii @waialuasurfshop

Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:9-14 KJV The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. #merrychristmas #beautiful #people of the #world #rejoice #love #mercy #grace #hope #faith #joy & #peace ❤️🌈🙏🕊️👑❤️

Dane Bryon Kalei Kealoha (7/02/1958 - 5/10/2023) RIP Hawaiian Legend… “ All kids have to have heroes growing up & to me, Dane was an absolute GIANT! I think it’s safe to say, that most who knew Dane or came into his presence, initially felt a powerful, & what at least appeared to be, an untouchable presence about this warrior like Hawaiian. However, if you really knew him, Dane had a lot of love for you. I knew Dane & his brother Michael when I was pretty young & long before I was even surfing. They were both friends of my dad. When I finally got into surfing at 12 years of age, there was something that appealed to me about Dane’s approach to how they rode waves & something inside told me that to be good at surfing I would have to emulate his approach to He’e Nalu. The way Dane approached waves of severe consequence without a drop of fear & he practically matched the power of Hawai’i s ocean pound for pound. Crazy to me, with all this self contained power, Dane had a grace, precision & harmony with the Nalu… a perfect style & flow of symbiosis that could only translate that Dane was born to surf & inspire. I had the pleasure of surfing with Dane in my early years of Pipeline addiction. Whenever I would see him, he would always ask me how my dad was & then give me some small encouragement on how to go about my surfing session. As the surfing world looses another one of its gigantic icons, I lost a hero. But my small memories of the Great Dane will always be with me. Dane would have been 65 this past Sunday July 2nd & during his ceremonial paddle out to Pipeline on the very day of his birth, something interesting happened. A pod of nai’a🐬 swam into the lineup at Pipe. They hung out for around 40 minutes as we prepared to paddle out & still hung out for a brief moment with us as we gathered to circle the ceremony, then slowly they swam under everyone & disappeared down the coastline. Beautiful day, beautiful send off & Dane, God bless & rest your soul & may you be surfing in the clouds of eternity. “ - #rip #danekealoha #surfing is #love #surfers for life #thankyou for #inspiration #hawaiian #hero #legend #pipe #line #backdoor #northshore #hawaii #wavewarrior

TAMATO says : “ This beautiful lady is so full of color, life, joy & she is the epitome of the spirit of adventure. She has been a part of my world & a consistent fixture out at Pipeline with me for over 25 years now. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her evolve from a hard charging professional bodyboarder, to one of the few slab hunting, tube riding professional women surfers of her era. For decades, she was one of the only & the most consistent woman to grace the lineup at Pipe & to willingly throw herself over it’s deadly ledge on a daily routine. She has long since forged a wonderful relationship with one of the most feared surfing waves the world has ever known. She has always amazed me in everything she does. I absolutely love & adore this wild & crazy lady…. So please if you can & have the time, help me wish this outstanding human @emiliaperry , another happy & wonderful completed trip around that great, hot & fiery sphere we refer to as the sun. ” ❤️🥳🌞🎉🌈🎂🎈🕊️🦄🧜‍♀️❤️ #surfing & #bodyboarding #photos by the #amazing 📷 @photogordinho #happybirthday #surfer @emiliaperry #pipe #line #oahu #hawaii #northshore. #waves are #beautiful #blue #jewels from the #sea. #nature & the #great #outdoors. #learn to #surf with the #best @oahusurfingexperience @3rdstonehawaii @waialuasurfshop @futuresfins

And the angel of God said : “ He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. “ - I present this here post with nothing but honest love & genuine concern for my fellow brothers & sisters of planet earth. I love you all & want God’s best for every single one of you! Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, as He said He would, has conquered death & the grave. Today is the most important day & decision of your life. What are you waiting for? It’s as simple as believing in the sacrifice, Love, Hope, Mercy & Grace of Jesus & confessing with your mouth that you need Jesus as your wonderful Savior to protect you & guide you from a sinful & dying world. The rampant evil of satan & this world is quickly closing in, & before it’s too late, I implore you to earnestly seek the face of The Risen Lord. John 3: 16-18 16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. #happy #resurrectionday the #miracle of #JesusChrist #light of the #world #love #hope #faith #mercy #grace #joy #peace

John 3:16 says : “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for my sinful ways & thank you so much for the miracle of conquering death & the grave.

TAMATO says : “ The artistic aspects, history & functionality of #surfboard design has always captivated my attention. #surfboards are literally what I like to call, Art in Motion… artistry that is designed so eloquently & meticulous that it could be used as a designer coffee table or hung on the wall to be examined & appreciated by the cerebral mind. But screw that idea, because surfboards are meant to be waxed up & ridden, not just collect dust! I love #exploring & experimenting with the vast diversity of #surfing equipment. Through my surfing lifetime, I’ve had the honor of working with some of the best #surf builders the planet has ever known. Here in post, I would like to give great #thanks & #appreciation to the shaper & craftsmen known only as @buddymccray . Buddy is my neighbor & long time friend whom I’ve had the pleasure of surfing with at various & undisclosed surf spots around the #beautiful #island of #oahu since I was a little kid. We’ve always had a similar taste in #wave appeal that led us to surfing many historical sessions together. As a master craftsman, Buddy has been designing & shaping @blastsurfdesigns for well over 4 decades now. Alan, Bud or Buddy as we like to call him pays extremely close attention to detail & it really shows in the precise & immaculate craftsmanship that he brings to life. Here in, Mr. McCray has blessed me with a 6’1” deep swallow, quad to help me go the speed of a rocket ship 🚀. I’ve already had a couple of sessions on her & needless to say, she’s working absolutely amazing. Mahalo nui loa Buddy for blessing me with this #magic shred stix. ” - #northshore #hawaii #waves #art #artinmotion #learn to #love being a #surfer @oahusurfingexperience @3rdstonehawaii glass jobs @waialuasurfshop @futuresfins

TAMATO says : “ To put it bluntly, life here on earth is pretty darn fragile. It’s now been a couple of weeks since the passing of our surfing world’s most iconic & best water cinematographer/videographer who had ever graced the heavy ocean lineups with his presence. To say the least, Larry Haynes was a one of a kind, with charisma oozing out of his stocky little frame. Larry always loved to put himself in the most death defying situations to make sure he captured the image. His friends called him the Walrus. Larry literally captured my first proper 8 foot barrel out at Pipe when I was 14 years old. From that day forward, Larry always believed in me & would continue to film & document my rise to the top in the Pipeline hierarchy. About 2 weeks before my friend Larry passed on, we had an awesome little conversation about one of the better waves he had the opportunity of capturing of me during the later part of my career… ironically enough, Larry sent me this nostalgic clip that is posted here in & I am forever grateful to The Walrus for always believing in me & the good trips ×s I got to spend laughing with him & enjoying his company. I love you & may God bless you in your next chapter of life my brother @fluid_vision . You always were a true & classic character Larry-san & you will be greatly missed in the lineup.

TAMATO says : “ I went to my favorite one stop shop @waialuasurfshop yesterday. The ambiance at this place is mentally soothing & literally has everything your little #surf heart desires. Much to my wonderful surprise, my good friend & #surfing mentor @brewerchapmansurfboards came out of his legendary shaping room to gift me with a #magic #surfboard . The twist here is that this 6’ 7” surfboard wasn’t shaped by the Master himself, but rather, it was shaped by his hard charging Pipe nephew & apprentice @kalooneytunes who is also a really good friend of mine & very much so, like my little brother. The Legendary Owl 🦉doesn’t sugar coat anything & in fact, he is very real & critical about good surfing & good shaping. Put it this way, just because Kalani is his blood relative, he would never let Kalani put the legendary Brewer/Chapman Surfboard logo on a Kalani shaped board unless Kalani was absolutely wholeheartedly ready & worthy to put the iconic logo on his board. Owl in his subtle ways has always given me gracious compliments about my surfing abilities & thought me worthy to showcase his nephews new & amazing talents as a shaper. Mahalo nui loa to both of you my friends for the generous gift & may I continue to represent in a soulful & stylish fashion, the talented & timeless Chapman Bloodline.

TAMATO says : “ Digging through some relics known as #surf #magazines, I stumbled on this classic memory. Looking back at 12 plus years of visiting Teahupo’o, Tahiti, the #wave & the people were always so kind & good to me. Many #amazing #memories were created here spanning the decade plus of #adventures journeying to this #beautiful place. With the 3 definitive swell directions that grace this wave rich reef with awestruck perfection, I’ve always been blessed when I visited the Teahupo’o region with large SSW swells which I’ve always thrived in. With SSW swells, I would always be battling for the unofficial Wave of the Day & putting on a consistent show of bravado alongside the usual heavyweight Kumbaya contenders of that era. This particular summer season in Tahiti with the photo featured above, was rife with large & terrifying West Swells !!! I barely caught any waves of substantial notoriety that year. With personal pride pounced on by pure & unadulterated raw nature, I had to reach deep with in to throw myself over this hellish ledge of destruction. You can see the fear of death in this photo emanating out of my face. The only real psychopathic Hellman who wanted it was @markhealy on the corner & I had to scream him off the wave not to go. He graciously pulled back as I chucked myself over the beyond vertical cliff of this bottomless pit & the rest was history. This particular photo & moment in time was captured by at least a dozen of the planets most influential surf photographers & ended up in just about every surf mag on the planet, from covers to spreads. It was an absolute blessed moment for me, because if not for that one wave, I would have completely skunked out in Tahiti that year & my foolish pride would have been at an all time low. It’s crazy how #surfing #psycho slab #waves can turn you from a Zero to a Hero & then often times right back to a Zero again. Partaking in raw nature is to say at the very least, absolutely humbling. ” - this #photo was taken by Australian #photographer Tim Jones & Published in either the Australian Magazine Waves or Tracks in 2002. #teahupoo #tahiti #surfer #tamayoperry @oahusurfingexperience #youneverknowuntilyougo

TAMATO says : “ After a crazy 28hours of flying, 3 planes ✈️ , layovers & taxi rides 🚕 later, we finally made it to our destination of Nicaragua. We arrived just in time for the second biggest swell of the summer to hammer into the South & Central American Coast. Through the Jungle Wireless, my friend from Nica @mannymal_nicaragua heard I had just arrived & quickly reached out to me to join him for a wave attack out at a mysto outter reef that rarely ever breaks. Before I had left Hawai’i, I had done some basic research about this particular wave & knew that it was a heavy slab of a wave ¬t for the faint of heart. I was way beyond jet lagged & being that my vacation was just beginning, I was extremely hesitant & tried to use every excuse in the book to chicken out of the session. Manny told me if I didn’t go surf with him that I was pretty much blowing it. So arm twisted & pure pressure running hot, I set my alarm for a 4:30am Dawn Patrol & pretty much obtained only about 4 hours of sleep. Needless to say, but the mission was pretty much a full on success & with the wave presented here in this post being the first wave I ever caught in Nicaragua, a great deal of gratitude goes out to Manny & Matteo @nicatime for getting me out of my comfort zone & making my trip a memorable one. The first photo posted here was shot by Rick 📷 @donde_x & was also featured in a recent article in @surfline & the next couple of water shots presented here were captured by a hard charging water photographer known by his Insta Handle as 📷 @vanlife_productions .

TAMATO says : “ To those that know her, my beautiful lady emanates a variety of warm & cool colors wherever she goes. Her radiance absolutely shines from within. Last summer’s trip to Panama was a wonderful destination we were both blessed to enjoy.

You see it in the liveliness of colors that they paint their architecture with & even in the poorest of villages, there is still a vibrancy in color spectrum that proves it doesn’t take material possessions to still be happy.

TAMATO says : “ Kick Stalling to get deep in the barrel is somewhat of a long lost art. Three humans that were extremely good at doing this critical maneuver on a consistent level out at Heavy Pipe were Johnny Boy Gomes on his backside & my then friend & contemporary @shawnbriley on his forehand & also on his forehand @thomasvictorcarroll , who in my humble opinion is probably the best Pipeline surfer who ever existed out there. They weren’t just good at it but rather, they were Masters at it. They would literally park the nose of their surfboard at 12 O’Clock & in the most craziest & deadliest of sections. Being part of the Pipeline Tube Riding Club & being in the same like minded mind set, I hated the thought of barrel dodging. At all costs, barrel dodging was a No No. So at a very young age, I made a very concerted effort to add the Pipeline Kick Stall into my repertoire of tricks. This type of skill set definitely came in handy because it actually helped me to advance through many marginal heats during my contest years at The Pipeline. These photos in this post I think are from this past January 2022. Also in this here post are two different perspectives of the same maneuver, same wave.

TAMATO says : “As far as the surfing evolution of #pipeline is concerned, Roy Russell is a legitimate & early part of the legacy of The Banzai. He used to ride for Lightning Bolt Surfboards. Nowadays @roryrussellbolt is shaping modern & retro Lighting Bolt Surfboards. Considering Rory’s original posse of contemporaries, shapers, mentors & friends, (the likes of Dick Brewer, Gerry Lopez, Reno Abellira just to name a few) it was only a matter of time before Rory started delving deep into the art of making magic carpets himself. I’m honored & grateful to say the least, but I recently received a surprising & magnificent present that was a collaboration gift from a couple of great people. @emiliaperry who off note did an #awesome job of making my hair look like a leopard 🐆, organized with Rory & @resinvader from @3rdstone glassjobs to surprise me with this wonderful piece of soon to be moving art. @futuresfins , who are Emilia & my longtime sponsor, hooked me up with a classic 8.5” Gerry Lopez model Lightning Bolt fin to go hand in hand with this Rory Russell Rip Stick. Lady & gentlemen, I will put this surfboard to good use & guarens, it’s not just going to be a good looking coffee table. Thanks also to @psychotuna for all the cool #surfing #trunks you’ve hooked me up with as of recent & mahalo to @waialuasurfshop for always having the #goods. A Big heartfelt Mahalo to you all for your killer support & generosity. You just gotta love the variety & deep diversity of surfing. Always the same #stoke but yet forever changing.” P.S. the back images posted are a couple of #classic #surf shots of Rory Russell from an old #surfer #magazine I recently revisited. #enjoy the ride folks! #nature #adventure & the #great #outdoors .

TAMATO says : “ Throwback Thursday to last weeks Friday Post; The year 1989/ Part 2 … This is a follow up, or continuation to that last Puerto Escondido image I posted. Time to share the second half of an integral & historical moment in the development of surfing in this particular time in my life. ➡️So now I’m going on about 14 & 1/2 years old & I’m back home in the Hawaiian Islands. All that Zicatela Beach Summer Fun had come to an end. Not only was my first surfing trip to Mexico an absolute success & a blast, but hard chargin all that Mexican Pipeline all summer had lit an addicting fire 🔥 under my ass to want to step up my game at Pipeline the upcoming winter. There were plenty of smaller step up warm up swells starting off our Northshore season. All of a sudden, a legitimate, Solid Pipeline swell showed up on the radar. I journeyed up from my home in Hau’ula to look at Pipeline with a couple of my East Side Hommies. Pipe was cracking 8’ to 10’ Hawaiian Scale & absolutely perfect. Light offshore winds & as good as the Banzai gets. Every Heavyweight, Pipe top dog you could imagine from the 80’s & early 90’s was out & amongst it. I kept bugging my 2 friends whom I was with, to psych up & go out with me. They were over it & basically said I was talking it up & wouldn’t go out. I took it as a dare. I ran over to @jackjohnson ‘s house where I kept a couple of my boards & grabbed my fresh 7’4” @bushmansurfboards & proceeded to head out. I was terrified but in the back of my head I was thinking, I’ll show you I’m not talking it up. Within 5 minutes of paddling out, this 8’ foot ledge beast snuck under all the heavy duty regulars & I proceeded to spin around & test my limits. I was about to have a heart attack from how heavy this wave looked. I went for it out of pure pier pressure. I almost kooked the drop & fell. I was so off balance I touched my toes & some how miraculously made it. When I realized I pulled off the drop, I stood tall & casually put my arms behind my back to prove to all that saw, that I was here to stay. From that day on, the Pipeline addiction has coursed through my veins.” #pipeline #surfer #tamayoperry @3rdstonehawaii @futuresfins

TAMATO says : “ Flash Back Friday to the year 1989 Part 1 … Being that it’s Puerto Escondido season, I figured it a good time to share a historical moment in my particular life. I had just turned 14 years of age & my dad had planned to take me on my first major surf trip out of the Hawaiian Islands. Destination; Oaxaca, Mexico to a wave known as The Mexican Pipeline. I had been hanging with good friend @jackjohnson & a bunch of Northshore friends who were already pretty confident surfers in the solid conditions of the big waves of country. I was the East Side kid & kind of the wussy & kook friend of the group who was playing some serious catch up to these hammers that were basically born & raised with Pipe Line as their back yard. They were confident in heavy surf & at the time, I was not. Summer of 89’ & Puerto was my inauguration into my life’s addiction of charging powerful, hollow waves. This place lived up to it’s reputation of being nicknamed the Mexican Pipe. It was a sandbar, & though obviously powerful, in my head, it was still a sandbar, not a shallow reef like Pipe Line. I had tricked my mind into believing that this made it safe & user friendly; which realistically, was not true at all. However, it worked to my advantage. The other thing that helped build major confidence in me, was that both of the boards I brought had a leash plug malfunction & I was unable to use a leash the entire trip. I had no choice but to swim & navigate the brutal impact zone ¤nts of Zicatela Beach the entire trip. Little did I know or realize at the time through foresight, that this trip to The Mexican Pipeline at 14 years of age would prepare me to forging my very own path to surfing the real Pipe Line, both physically & more importantly, mentally. Here’s a nostalgic photo of me charging Mexico at 14 right before the leash plug broke. This is the trip that paved the way for my addiction to a life enveloped by Pipe Line. Stay tuned for Part 2… “ - #surfer #tamayoperry #surfing #puertoescondido #oaxaca #mexico #wave #mexicanpipeline #zicatela #beach #worlds most #powerful #waves. #adventure & #destination #explore your #world @bushmansurfboards @3rdstone @futuresfins

TAMATO says : “ Rummaging through some old surf mags, I came across this sparkly ol jewel💎. It was in a magazine known as Transworld Surf. This is the right in West Oz known as Monuments. The wave Monuments is a terrifying cross between heavy BackDoor & the razor bladed slab known as 3rd Dip. Not the most backside friendly wave by any means. At the end of the ride, if you don’t get out of the wave in time, you end up dry docked on a 5 finger slab of A’a Rock that literally protrudes out of the water. You are literally out in the middle of nowhere & if you get seriously hurt, your basically up Shits Creek without a paddle! Ahhhhh… Nothing like the source of adrenaline that barrel happy surfers attempt to brave.🤤🤦”- 🤣#magazine #published #photo by @scottybauer_ #surfer #tamayoperry. #westernaustralia . #surf to #live #love to go #surfing. #nature & the #great #outdoors. #waves are #beautiful #blue #jewels from the #sea.

This surfboard he shaped me is quite an amazing piece of art 🖼.

❤️Mom😌😇 What can I honestly say, other then I’ve always been a Mama’s Boy. It’s been a short 3 weeks since the world lost one of it’s most beautiful & caring souls & I’m still more or less at a complete loss for words. I loved my mom beyond words. She taught me to love Jesus & to trust & believe in His Holy Word with all of my heart, with all of my soul & with all of my mind. She instilled values, morals ðhics into my very being & she introduced my soul to The Creator of Heaven & earth & all that’s within & on. She taught me how to have compassion, concern & love for those who don’t know the true miracle, mercy, grace & love of Jesus Christ. As for these God given statutes my wonderful mother has impressed on my life, I consider them to be the most blessed & amazing gifts anyone could have ever been graced with & I will always be forever grateful to God for the teacher & mother He gave me. It is bitter sweet to see her pass on into the next chapter of our eternal life, only because she was a brilliant guide for those around her to keep them on the straight & narrow & to keep those around her diligently seeking the true face of the Risen Lord. As one who maintains a deep faith in my Christianity, I know very well, that to be absent from the body is to be gloriously present with our Good Lord. My loving mother Kai is now in the presence of the Holy King of kings & Lord of lords. She’s in the Paradise she always spoke of & in perfect peace. Although I grieve, I couldn’t be more happy for such a beautiful soul as she was. Until we meet again good lady… please watch over every step of my path. I love you mom❤️🌈🕊🙏❤️

TAMATO says : “Here’s an interesting piece of archive history that almost slipped beneath the cracks. It was a late arvo session at the Banzai & there were some super hefty 2nd reef bombs pouring in from the emerald lit horizon. Instead of battling it out on the ledge with a shoulder to shoulder pack of savages, I decided to test my odds on the outer reef. As you can see by the images, daylight was waning. Fortunately for me, as I pulled away from the congestion of humanoids, it wasn’t long before this behemoth of perfection presented itself to me. If you look closely in image #2, you’ll notice @kellyslater at the bottom right of the image. As I was setting up my bottom turn, I vividly remember Kelly staring at me with this lazer sharp focus. If there was a thought bubble above his head, it read in explicits, ‘DO SOMETHING!!!’…. as if just pulling into this beast wasn’t doing something enough. I remember like it was yesterday; once I realized it was Kelly, I thought to myself, ‘Let’s give the Champ something special!’… So as Kelly stared me down, I changed my line from casual barrel set up to a raging bottom turn & commenced on slashing a huge hack right in the Champs face. To the untrained eye, the average surfer might think this is just a fade back set up… but No, this is an actual off the lip slash on a 10’ to 12’ beast at Pipeline. It’s not a joke, but there’s always been something about surfing with Kelly that gets your electricity flowing. It felt absolutely gratifying. It’s funny, former World Champ & Pipe Master Tom Carrol did an under the lip slash in the 1991 Pipe Masters that went viral around the world. It didn’t hurt that this was during a heavily media covered event. It was so marketed that the media even deemed it ‘The Snap’. If dedicated master lensmen Sean Davey didn’t have his trusty camera out at this moment in history, my personal & momentous endeavor would have been nothing but a memory lost in time.” - #photo by @sean_davey #surfer #tamayoperry. #pipe #line #oahu #hawaii #northshore. #waves are #beautiful #green #jewels from the #sea. #nature & the #great #outdoors.
