Honoring Tamayo Perry’s Legacy
Tamayo Perry was more than a world-class surfer and lifeguard — he was a joyful presence, a mentor, a man of deep faith, and a bright light in the surf community. His untimely passing left a deep void, but his legacy continues to inspire.
The Tamayo Perry Foundation is being created by those closest to him — family, friends, surfers, and community leaders — to ensure his spirit lives on by opening doors for the next generation.
Our Mission:
To honor Tamayo’s legacy by connecting under-resourced youth to the ocean through surf, swim, safety, mentorship, and aloha.
