Surfer has, over Thanos, versatility, and speed. But Thanos got everything else above Surfer.
Surfer has feats to show that he too has molecular control over his body as well. One time he was in many pieces and he put himself back together (may be PIS though).
Surfer's feat of busting a planet with a mere blast>>>>>anything Thanos has ever shown in blasting power. Now don't get me wrong. Thanos power output>>>>Surfer's output on average.
Thanos has better durability too (mostly to energy blasts though and a little more than Surfer in blunt force physical attacks).
It's Surfer's versatility and speed that would make it hard for Thanos to win against him in a forum fight.
Thanos can hurt Surfer and Surfer (at his best) can hurt Thanos.
