Well, the SS doesn't HAVE to punch people, so I think that's why we rarely see him do it. But I think he could easily punch faster than Spiderman. Just because he hasn't, doesn't mean he can't. here's some good speed feats for Surfer:

and surfer is generally faster than superman
I disagree...
Supes is a lot faster imo. Surfer flight speed is faster but supermans reflexes and body movement is faster.
I could picture Supes blitzing Surfer.
The Surfer has nano-second reaction time. (and that wasn't stated as an upper limit...and that was before his post-annihilation power up). He has searched the earth in the time it takes to finish a sentence. The Surfer doesn't have punching feats because he doesn't need to punch. But if he had to, I have no doubt he could punch faster than Superman.

I never said that surfer was slow... he isn't Superman fast though. Of course he can fly fast... terrax and firelord can fly fast as well but that doesn't mean that all of them can punch in a blur.
We don't go by what we "think" the character can do, we go by what was shown and there was nothing shown of surfer fighting in superman type of fashion.
Hyperion has nano second feats but that doesn't mean that he can do everything superman can do speed wise.
