There is a difference between circling and searching the planet,simply going round isn't searching,he went through the entire volume of the planet. Does. Current supes even have that kind of speed feat?

I didn't say Superman would blitz Surfer. I just gave an example of what Superman can do in the time frame of a blink (1 second). So Surfer must do things that are faster than a blink. My argument is that Surfer can't do anything exotic (like soul crunching) because those things take more time to activate (unless you can prove otherwise). Surfer would be reduced to blasting, maneuvering and creating hand shields. Surfer can use red solar radiation to gain an advantage however.
Outside that
Superman's hv is more accurate and more powerful on average than Surfer's normal blasts. Superman's physical strength is enough to 2-3 shot Surfer (assuming Superman let's loose). This is a very close fight. Superman uses his speed to prevent Surfer from doing anything exotic and reducing him to just a maneuvering blaster.I agree. So we are at an impasse. If Surfer goes intangible and stays that way then it's a stalemate.
When did supes punch millions of times in a second,when did he even use pico/nanp second reflexes in a fight?. Supes isn't 3shotting surfer,not in his dreams,post annihilation surfer survived blasts from aegis and terebrous,pre annihilation took a blast from odin,before the second KO'd him,and has taken shots from thor,without his cosmic,his body is still durable enough to easily withstand hits from planet hulk. Who says supes HV is stronger than his blasts?
Who says his 'exotic' abilities take much time to activate?and he can just ercet a shield and then do it in the first place.
This isn't a close fight,unless surfer forgets how to use his power cosmic
If surfer uses red sun radiation,it isn't an advantage,the fiight ends there
