A German surfer who went missing near Hanstholm, Denmark, has been located safe and sound. The individual had been unaccounted for since 1 p.m. on Monday, prompting the police to deploy a rescue helicopter to aid in the search efforts.

Several hours after the search began, the missing surfer made contact with the police. "He contacted us himself," stated Maria Jensen, duty officer at Midt- og Vestjyllands Police, to TV Midtvest. The surfer was found unharmed.
