@@TheCruisingKiwis sorry forgot to mention Ivan’s channel as so caught up in Finn’s achievement. Just subscribed and will watch all videos as I know how funny the young fella is
PROUD is an understatement!! Well done Finn, you are one amazing young man.🥇🥇 NZ selectors may not have, but We all believed in him! Another great episode of the kiwi's. Ivan YT is amazing, funny, I sub, watched all and commented on all.
@@OnTheFlipSide Ivan’s YT is great isn’t it. He has a lovely eye for cinematography. As for Finn, what can I say, the boy did good. And so humble in victory.
Absolutely wonderful Finn. Love how mom and dad are getting emotional and it made me cry. Awesome job. Welcome home Ivan. Can’t wait to see your videos.
Love you guys! Congratulations, Finn! Ivan, please try to be happy wherever you are at any given moment. Big world, small boat -- I get it. Safe travels. ❤
What fun to have shared all these years your family's stories, and to see Finn come through all those ups and downs to win the Head of the Charles. Such a humble champion, too. He deserved a big win. Never give up!
From being shunned by know-it-all rowing snobs in NZ due to COVID, to a near death experience, to winning the beach world championship, to this, is only possible with God's hand in it! It's the NZ rowing teams loss, and the rowing World's gain! I am headed now to sub to Ivan's channel! I believe that Ivan will write or produce comedy movies someday. Declan as a UFC champ too, perhaps? What a joy you all are. You sharing your family's life with us has been a blessing! You are all truly inspirational. I love you all...and may God send you all continued blessings!
I am so happy for Finn, and I hope Rowing NZ is taking note! He is such a nice young man, and his wins show that he is humble. Congratulations, and thank you for taking us all along on this journey.
Outstanding Finn, well done mate! You are now showing those who dropped you like a hot cake just what you are all about - CHAMPION material. Keep showing them up for what they are! Your mum and dad were beside themselves with your win, you certainly have a few of the old boys genes, probably a few more than he would care to admit 🤣
Awesome job by Finn. I’ve been waiting ever since I saw the results for you to include this in one of your videos. Once again thanks for sharing. Love to the Kiwi family ….
I told you guys several years ago that you were great parents! Life lessons in real world situations and places have made all of your boys strong both physically and mentally! So proud of you all!
Absolutely great race Finn! Congrats man. Wish we could see more. Film when you can. We love to hear from you. Rachel, Thank you for telling us about Ivan's channel and may I take a moment to say what a beautiful soul he is!!!!! Keep filming Ivan. Now where did that other one go..I think his name was Dexter? No matter, there is always one that is expendable. We miss you Declan!!!!
Amazing result Finn. So humble as well which makes for a true champion, both physically and mentally. Rob and Rachel you must be buzzing and so proud👏👏🥇🥇
Congratulations so awesome another world champion in the family. We in NZ are so proud for you. Much deserved success for all of your dedication and hard work. OLYMPIC gold next mission. Cheers from the Tron team 😊😊😊😊
Well done Finn... Nice to see you back, safe and well, interesting that your home is a ever moving place to get back too.🙂New faces and new places are always on the horizon, what a fantastic life. 😊
I have been waiting for your updates. Glad Ivan had a great time and home now. Looks like he has to gets climatized again. I was cheering and yelling for Finn. If I had known the dates I would have driven up there. Boston is only 300 miles from me so just a few hours drive. I hope he had some Lobster and other great New England food. I know you do not have an American Thanksgiving. But you can give thanks for everyday you have and your family have alot of days to be thankful for. Blessing to all 5 of you!
I’m not sure of Finn’s diet in America but I can tell you he was very well treated by the family who hosted him and treated him like a son. A true blessing.
And for the selection committee in NZ, how would you like your crow served??😀 Actually, sometimes those kind of disappointments can inspire people with true grit, determination, and integrity to dig deeper and prove to themselves they can compete at the highest level. You certainly made a strong case for Team HamilL Congratulations Finn!!💪
that was an amazing video you guys! I did watch the head of the Charles when it was happening, even though it was kinda hard to follow the various videos all over and I already knew he won back when it happened, but seeing this all over again, it was very emotional for me and I’m not even there! Congratulations to Finn and to all of you what a fantastic fantastic accomplishment.
Bravo pour Finn , belle réponse aux sélectionneurs , autant de courses avec Victoire, l’année est en fait superbe , 3 enfants, 3 réussites , merveilleuse famille , continuez avec calme dans la paix et la joie , nous vous aimons tous les 5 ,
Well I would say that our financial backing of Finn is money extremely well spent. Goddamn it! Who the hell keeps peeling onions when I comment on this channel?
Well there is a story of triumph. When you get knocked down, get back up, dust yourself off and never give up. Bloody awesome work Finn. Congratulations.
FINN IS AMAZING!!!!!! Way to go!!!!! So happy for you. Hamill.....one M, 2 L's. Keep saying that over and over on your movies. If you spell it wrong, you can't find Ivan. :) Much love.
Wonder if you could mention and link Ivan’s 48 hours in Africa video in your next video? It seems to be overlooked and deserves a lot more views. He did a great job. Thanks.
@ That is great. It looks like mentioning him had a big impact on his third video. I just hate for that second video to get overlooked. He did such a good job and put so much into it. Blame it on me. Tell your viewers someone insisted on the plug lol.
Congratulations to you all, with Finn’s win! Thanks for sharing the story of his determination and effort to overcome setbacks and realize the success of his perseverance!
oooh my gooodness!!! Wonderful! Such a thrill to watch you watching him. As someone who lived along the Charles and walked alongside it daily, I have seen how hard the crew folks work. Such dedication, such elegance. And I always thought of The Head of the Charles as not only the most prestigious of events, but just the coolest in every way. What a triumph! And glad Finn got to experience one of our best cities. Barcelona isn't a bad town either! How fun to see Ivan adventuring and then returning to share his treasures.
We would love to get there next year if at all possible and see for ourselves. If you have a moment do check ivan's channel. His Switzerland trip is wonderful.
I'm from Connecticut and know the famous "Head of the Charles" race (and Housatonic In my state) and Wow what a feat on both!!! Go Finn!!! Well Done. You never gave up!!! Congrats Mom and Dad!!!
Thanks for your support. Here's Ivan's channel youtube.com/@ivanhamill

After all the disappointment, Finn must be over the moon. So happy for him and his proud parents.
This certainly has been the silver lining to a disappointing year. The boy done good.

Oh my gosh!! This is awesome! So emotional 💕
Thank you Renee. A big win for Finn and a feather in his cap going forward.
Absolutely wonderful Finn. Love how mom and dad are getting emotional and it made me cry. Awesome job.
Welcome home Ivan. Can’t wait to see your videos.
Awww🥹. Thank you Allison. Please do check in on Ivan, his cinematography is beautiful.
Amazing win for Finn, especially not having raced that course before. Ivan's first videos are great as well - winning family 😀
Finn’s performance certainly surprised everyone. Thanks for checking in on Ivan’s adventures, more to come there.
Love you guys!

As you can see we just excited to watch Finn blossom. The hard times make the wins taste that much more sweet.
Well done finn congratulations 🎉🎉
As a past rowing parent, I've really enjoyed following Finn's rowing. Well done - proud mum and dad moment.

Outstanding Finn, well done mate!
You are now showing those who dropped you like a hot cake just what you are all about - CHAMPION material. Keep showing them up for what they are!

The boy has fire in his belly.
