He controls his board from his mind.
He can use that as a weapon SS has done it many time in the past.
Throwing? lol it will come back and hit Gladiator in less than a second.
His board travels beyond light speed.
The only beings successful to separate SS from his board were extremely powerful being who can create unbreakable force fields. ( Galactus , Ego did etc)
Surfer vs. Gladitor
Surfer 10 out of 10 (even without using the Radiation weakness)
Silver Surfer with an unchecked conscience, is the most powerful character out there, PERIOD. His conscience is what leads to his downfall most times. He matches and outclasses Gladiator in every way. There is no feat that Gladiator can do that Surfer cannot do or exceed. Surfer is much more versatile, much more powerful, much more durable.
ex. Gladiator invites the Uni-Power to return to the Shi'ar Empire as their guest. Although the Uni-Power agrees, it is captured en route by Krosakis, an energy leeching warlord who forces the Uni-Power into his body to become Captain Universe. Gladiator attempts to stop Krosakis but fails, with the warlord finally beaten by the 'Silver Surfer'.
That's a small example.
In an Exiles comic, the Silver Surfer is an unchecked beast, and destroys the entire Imperial Guard, including dismembering Gladiator.
And now that he has been fully restored by Galactus after the Annihilation series to full strength, he's now TOO powerful to have his own on-going series; so now he's relegated to cameo appearances and guest starring roles.
Name one thing that Gladiator can do that Surfer can't! Gladiator is a Superman clone and Surfer would take Superman 10 out of 10 also (think Doomsday with the Power Cosmic).
Surfer is not a hand-to-hand fighter and doesn't engage in it most times, but he matches Gladiator in strength (and can even enhance his strength to surpass Gladiator's).
She-Hulk is a pretty strong character, she once punched Surfer in the face, he didn't even flinch; yet She-Hulk nearly broke her hand.
Granted, perspective lies within who is writing each character, but in the areas of strength, versatility, durability, intelligence, experience, energy manipulation, and speed, Surfer wins hands down.
This isn't even a fight for the Surfer.

Big stupid Drax held his board with ease and Surfer couldnt break loose.

That'd be one specific poster. No need to over-generalize.
Either way, I'm inclined to think that this thread was an attempt to troll Surfer fans about his chances vs Superman back when posters thought Surfer shouldn't/wouldn't//couldn't exploit Superman's kryptonite/red sun radiation vulnerabilties.
