Surfing completely alone

I recently surfed completely alone in a semi-rural surf spot. I love surfing alone, but this time I became a bit insecure—maybe even a little scared. I mean, IF something happens, you’re out there by yourself. No one around you, no one at the beach, no help near you. I feel there’s a huge difference between surfing alone in a rural spot vs a city beach.

There must be other surfers who surf alone, and I’m really curious about this. How do you prepare for possible accidents? Have you ever had an accident while alone somewhere? I started to feel nervous even I am confident about my surfing, paddling and swimming skills. Things can go wrong.. Do you eventually get used to being completely alone out there?
