A surfer rescued after more than 30 hours stranded at sea has revealed he may return to the sport.

Matthew Bryce, 22, has been treated for hypothermia after he was found drifting on his surfboard in the North Channel, 13 miles from Northern Ireland and 16 miles from Scottish shores.

Following his ordeal he vowed never to surf again but has now said he may get back on a surfboard as part of a group.

Now he's changed his mind and people on social media are backing the call.

K.A Couttis said : "Poor soul. I'd not be getting back on my surf board that's for sure."

Ann Jeffrey said: "Good on him. Why shouldn't he do something he loves, sounds like he's not taking any chances with his safety. Good tips for other surfers."

While Jill Ferguson commented: "So glad he was saved. Sounds like he has learned some important lessons which crucially he's shared with others. "
