1) Thor can't "sneak attack" with Mjolnir, unless his dad is busy distracting Surfer with waffle.
how do you see that happening? I mean, he'll spot that Thor's swinging his arm again, like an essex girl in Ibiza, he'll notice the Hammer make its ponderously slow voyage out towards Surfer, he'll think "aha! I shall now focus my entire attention upon staring at Thor and monologuing, forgetting that the hammer tends to return to Thor's hand" and just get clobbered, right?
Also, the board responds to his slightest thought, Mjolnir is nowhere near as mobile or useful in terms of functioning as a projectile weapon.
I mean "board" ... left Thor on his arse buried in rubble and left horseface with even worse problems. and if he chose to get vicious, he could make its edges sharp and give it an adamantium coating ... insta-kill!
Noway is the mallet as useful as Surfer's board, for such an attack.
2) Surfer can absorb and return fire just as easily, he's done it on multiple occasions
3) Surfer's able to control his own astral form better than that, Thor wouldn't get far trying to "drain his essence" (his "essence" is Power Cosmic), and if this has some sort of biological component, then Surfer already has the far superior feats... he's evolved life billions of years, planet-wide.
Surfer just turns Thor into an amoeba.
