After the brutal murders of three men on a surfing trip in Baja last month, loved ones are finding comfort that surfers have been traveling to the region for decades. Andrea Cavallier reports
Callum, 33 and his brother Jake Robinson, 30, along with their friend, Carter Rhoad, 30, of San Diego, were shot in the head execution style by car thieves on a surfing trip to Baja, according to Mexican authorities.
Kara spoke to Callum and Jake’s mother, Debra Robinson, after their deaths and told her how she’d personally camped over a dozen times in the exact location where the men were reportedly staying when they were killed – and how she had traveled even further down the peninsula to more remote areas with only two other women with her.
Following the murders of the surfers, he wrote an editorial for TalkBaja about his own horrific experience, detailing how he was beaten unconscious with a crowbar and how the men slit his wife’s throat and tossed her off the cliff in a case of extreme violence near his home in San Quintín, Baja California.
About a week after the three men failed to check into a local Airbnb and their families could not get in contact with them, their bodies were found on 3 May down a well in a remote area miles from where they had reportedly set up camp in Punta San José.
Kara added that as a surfer, “you are aware of elements of danger but you go in cautious, keep your head on you, don’t drive at night, set up camp, and pay the rancher to stay on his land - which affords safety,” she explained.
Chief state prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez said on Sunday that she believed the alleged killers, three men who have been arrested, drove by and saw the surfers’ pickup truck and tents, and wanted to steal their tires.
