Touching tribute for surfer brothers killed in Mexico

A touching tribute has been held in San Diego, USA for the two Australian brothers killed in Mexico. 

Jake and Callum Robinson were honoured in a paddle-out into the surf, with their parents Debra and Martin Robinson also flying into San Diego where Callum had been living. 

Dozens of locals and friends gathered in the surf at one of Callum's favourite beaches to honour the boys' lives, and their father was among those who paddled out and paid tribute to his sons.  

Callum's lacrosse team paid tribute to a "beautiful and bright human".

"That guy was a ball of sunshine, so grateful my path crossed with his," one surfer said.

"He just brought so much passion and joy to everything he was apart of."

Friends have also said that the brothers had a passion for sport and being outdoors. 

"In the middle of our ceremony a large wave rolled in and it felt like Callum was there with us and everyone said that's Callum," another surfer said. 

Two men and one woman have been arrested over their suspected involvement in the "robbery gone wrong", after the bodies of the two Aussie brothers and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad were discovered 10 metres down a well near their campsite.
