I’m so sorry.. Kevin had such positive impact on my life when I was at RBSLSC.. he was the best coach ever!! I’ll never forget his vibrant personality. Thinking of you all during this time. 🤍

Kev, the Red Dawn Waka crew will always remember the good banter on and off the water as well our coffee debriefings after a paddle. You inspired many of us to take the OC1 and OC6. But most importantly we were all good mates, we enjoyed each other’s company, staying fit, sharing stories and how proud we all are of our families. Gone with the waves but never forgotten.

Andy McCowan

Kev you are a bloody legend. I’ll miss your waves from the water on those early morning foil lessons as you paddled by in your zone or as you walked past the house with either dog or waka. To Nicola and family thoughts with you all xox. kev Impossible to replace, easy to to remember. Living life to the fullest.

Thanks Kev for always putting a smile on everyone’s face, being the one to make a joke but also be serious when needing to be. You were a great surf club coach, and an amazing person to be around. You will be missed by everyone, near and far. Our condolences and love to the family, The Hamlin’s xx
