Re: Surfer rescue
Im so pleased this guy was rescued,I think hes really had the fear of god put into him..I somehow think it will be a while before he goes out alone again....but his saving grace was that he was adequately prepared and had a winter wet suit on barring this he may well have been a goner

He wore the correct gear, told people where he was going etc.
He was unfortunate, that is all.
Once he's over the trauma I bet he surfs again....anyone with a deep interest in water can't resist for too long
No doubt there's a film in this tale.....Hollywood will have us believe ther are killer sharks living in the Irish Sea

My guess is he will surf again.......at the end of the day it's much safer to surf than swim.
How many swimmers survive being swept out to sea?

Re: Surfer rescue
We are all going to die one day so, if we take park in potentially dangerous activities, that that may be what kills us. I feel sorry for him because of the mental torment he must have gone through during that 32 hours. Imagine lying on a surfboard in the middle of the sea with no other human in sight. He believed he was going to die, but didn't know how he would die....how awful
