Three surfers were seen having the time of their lives in social media posts of their vacation before they vanished in Mexico.

Australian lacrosse star Callum Robinson, 33, his brother Jake, 30, and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, from San Diego, disappeared without a trace in the Baja California region in Mexico over the weekend.

Callum's last social media posts, uploaded to his Instagram story, give insight into the group's last known whereabouts in the area.

Several images shows them in Rosarito Beach, where they were believed to be surfing and camping. The group reportedly planned on moving on to Ensenada, where they failed to check in an Airbnb on Sunday.

The last image posted to Callum's Instagram shows the group made to San Miguel beach in Ensenada before going off the radar.

A check of the vehicle's VIN reportedly identified it as belonging to one of the three missing surfers. 

'... and it begins,' Callum wrote on the image of the pickup truck at the beach, alongside an emoji of the Mexican flag at the start of the doomed trip.

Police also say they found three abandoned tents south of Ensenada, with local media reporting that blood was found on them. 

Callum also shared images of Jake and Rhoad and of the sights they were exploring. 

The trio had been actively sharing images of their trip until Sunday - and no one has heard of them since Saturday.

Local police have arrested three people in connection the their disappearance, including a 23-year-old Mexican woman who reportedly was discovered in possession of a mobile phone belonging to one of the brothers, along with methamphetamine.

Two men, also Mexican, were also arrested as part of the investigation, said Baja California’s chief public prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade Ramirez.

It is understood police were able to make the arrests after one of the brothers' mobile phones was turned back on, and pinged a local mobile tower. 

'A working team (of investigators) is at the site where they were last seen, where tents and other evidence was found that could be linked to these three people we have under investigation,' Andrade Ramírez said.

'There is a lot of important information that we can't make public.'

While drug cartels are active in the area, she said 'all lines of investigation are open at this time. We cannot rule anything out until we find them.'

Ramírez would not say whether the three people questioned were considered possible suspects or witnesses in the case. She said only that some were tied directly to the case, and others indirectly.

The mother of the Robinson brothers, Debra Robinson, said on social media she has not heard from them since April 27, when they failed to show up at an Airbnb in nearby Rosarito. 

She stressed Callum is a diabetic as she asked anyone with information to come forward. 

Debra wrote: 'Australian friends Jake and Callum Robinson have gone missing around Rosarita/Ensenada region of Baja California Norte Saturday morning.

'They were likely surfing. Callum is diabetic—this is a very dire situation.'

The brothers' family is said to be 'frantically' trying to get a flight to Mexico, reports 7News. 

Jake is a doctor, according to Seven News; meanwhile Callum lives in San Diego and a member of Australia’s national lacrosse team.

Lacrosse Australia issued a statement on social media expressing its concern over the whereabouts of Jake, Callum and their friend Jack Carter Rhoad.

It described Callum as an 'Australian lacrosse star'.

'We urge the Australian lacrosse community and our global lacrosse family to continue sharing the post from Callum's friends and family (located on the LA Facebook and Instagram story) in the hope that Callum, Jake and Jack are found safe and sound,' it said. 

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has also expressed concern about the brothers' wellbeing.

'We certainly hope that these brothers are found safely, but there is real concern about the fact that they’ve gone missing,' he told Australian media.

'Their mother is obviously very distressed about this. And we just hope for a positive outcome.'

Baja California has been plagued by cartel violence in recent months. 

Ramírez said her office was in contact with Australian and U.S. officials but suggested that the time that had passed might make it harder to find them.

'Unfortunately, it wasn’t until the last few days that they were reported missing. So, that meant that important hours or time was lost,' she said.

In 2015, two Australian surfers, Adam Coleman and Dean Lucas, were killed in western Sinaloa state, across the Gulf of California — also known as the Sea of Cortez— from the Baja peninsula. 

Authorities say they were victims of highway bandits. Three suspects were arrested in that case.
