I first met Neil when we were 17 at Thomas Borthwicks in Wellington. He was a dear friend and my heart goes out to Lyn and family. He was so proud of you all and he will no doubt be greatly missed. RIP Neil.

Good man gone to soon. Had some great battles in the surf club comps. I was gutted when he beat me on the line in the Flanagan cup. Rest easy mate.
