SS has never shown to fight at super speeds to my knowledge but if you can say diffrent please do so and no im not making it a rule that he needs to not fight at super speeds im just saying he's never shown that he can fight at that speed. Thanos has never been shown to fight at such speeds yet we all know how a battle between surfer and thanos goes.
As long as SS can still manipulate matter he should win. I'm just not sure that Hal's ring gives him protection from that kind of attack. Take away matter manipulation and Hal's need to recharge (as I could see this fight lasting a long time due to the similarity of the characters) and I'd give Hal a slight edge 6/10. Surfer is a beast but he isn't really that good of a fighter, while Hal is.
SS can basically transmute any elements (for example the elements that make up Hal's body or even his ring) into any other element he wants. He could turn Hal into gold if he wanted to. His power set is as an matter/energy manipulator fueled by the power cosmic. I'm not sure that Hal has ever fought a matter manipulator before and if his ring would protect him. If it doesn't, then SS wins everytime.
Now, as far as I know Green Lanterns don't manipulate matter often (I may be wrong here) and the only pic I've seen of a similar feat is in a very old GL comic so it might not still be in continunity. GL power set that is used most often is energy manipulation. So if Gal's ring does protect him or you take away the matter manipulation, then I'd say Hal would win because he is a better fighter.

the same goes for GL turning SS into a banana 😄
Do you have a recent scan of a GL doing that? I don't follow the GL comics so if you know of a example I'd like to see it because I didn't know that they could do that (save the old comic I mentioned). Anyway if that is the case, as I said earlier, Hal would take IMO

Doesn't matter. It's close enough. Hal is still human behind the ring. Surfer is a cosmic being who draws on the ambient energy of the universe. Durability, speed, strength, matter manipulation all go to surfer. He has better command of his powers, and more experience with them. Moreover, no yellow weakness, and unlike a GL, surfer's body is its own battery.

The GL ring can do anything plus more than Norrin Radd can.
