I guess that's why Thor can travel 3x the speed of light, and yet looks like a tool compared to Wolverine in combat speed.
We have actually seen many times Surfer use his travel Speed in battle because his offense is not mainly dependent on his board while Thor hammer has to used for offensive and defensive abilities.
Big difference

Not at all.
I was merely pointing out that travel speed and combat speed are not the same thing.
Even if he cant brawl as fast, he can chase, evade and blast at superspeed. He lacks H2H speed feats, but not total use of speed during combat. He's a blaster not a brawler, that's all. He certainly can think and react at superspeeds, he maneuvers and stops cold with precision while travelling all the time.

travel speed debatable
Even body movements debatable.
The thing is, you have to look at the little things to really get the full picture. He doesn't build bridges in nano seconds, but what about when he rushed a Skrull prison to rescue Nova, and had to do it fast enough to outrace the distruct signal that'd make her blow up? He had to grab Nova, right? That takes speed.
Or what about when he rushed Thanos in Infinity Gauntlet, and made a grab for it at top speed? Can't very well grab the thing if your general movements are normal speed.
Or all the examples of aiming and firing his beams while at top speed? Also requires comparable fast movement rates.
Even fighting The Runner while both are moving at ridiculous speeds shows Surfer responding to attacks, which would be impossible if all he can do is move around. Especially considering Runner proved to be even faster, yet didn't outright blitz him.
He doesn't have a "speedsters feats", but that doesn't mean all he's good for is traveling.
