Relatives paid tribute to Jake and Callum Robinson during a paddleboard trip off a beach in Western Australia, nearly two months after the brothers were killed along with their friend during a surfing trip in Mexico.

Callum, 33, Jake, 31, and their American boyfriend Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, died after disappearing while camping on a surfing trip in Baja California in late April.

Mexican police believe the three men were shot in the head by locals as they tried to steal the tires of their pickup truck.

Their bodies were found at the bottom of a well not far from the campsite.

The memorial paddle took place on Saturday afternoon at Sorrento Beach, north of Perth, near Sacred Heart College, where the brothers attended school and where a memorial service was held for them last Saturday.

Hundreds took part in the paddle, paddling into the sea on boards or boats, then forming a circle and raising their oars in the air, ABC reported.

In a post on its Facebook account, the Sorrento Surf Lifesaving Club said it would be participating in the memorial event along with Surf Lifesaving WA, Surfing WA, the Indian Ocean Paddlers and the Scarboro Surf Life Saving Club.

“It will provide an opportunity for these communities to come together to remember these two wonderful boys and show their support for their family,” the post said.

“WA surfers, lifeguards and ocean paddlers will all come together as one group as they paddle out, form a circle and remember Callum and Jake.”

The departure comes a week after the popular brothers were bid farewell by friends and family at a private memorial service at Sacred Heart College in Sorrento.

Childhood friends and Jake and Callum’s parents, Debra and Martin Robinson, paid tribute to their sons in emotional speeches to the 800 grieving friends and family who attended the funeral, which was also live-streamed, 7News reports.

“We loved that Jake was curious, friendly, cheerful and never judgemental,” Ms Robinson said.

“Callum always made a conscious decision to wake up every day and be positive. He saw so much fun in life,

“We miss you so much Callum and Jakey Boy, please shine for us.”

Mrs Robinson said her sons loved life and followed their dreams.

“They were intelligent, respectful men who had so much more to offer the world,” she said.

Jake, 31, was a doctor, while Callum, 33, was a professional lacrosse player living in the United States.

The brothers and their friend Mr. Rhoad were camping on San Miguel Beach in Baja California when they disappeared on April 27. Ms. Robinson then issued an urgent appeal for help in locating her sons after they failed to check into their Airbnb in Rosarito.

A desperate search was launched and the bodies of the three men were found by Mexican authorities on May 3.

Mexican authorities have arrested Jesus Gerardo Garica Cota, also known as “El Kekas,” along with his brother Cristian Alejandro and his girlfriend Ari Gisel in connection with the deaths of Jake, Callum and Jack Carter Rhoad.
