Not really. People have him fighting in ways he has never shown. They speculate on things that he could possibly do as if it's a fact that he could do them (or choose to do them). For example, like transmute clothes or air into adamantium. Even if he could then it would take a large amount of clothes or air just to get a little amount of adamantium.
Also
Surfer only busted out certain powers because that the circumstance called for it. For example, Surfer only went into the astroplane because he was trapped and had no way of escaping. He would never go into the astroplane on the fly in any given battle outside of that circumstance. Surfer only used the soul tactic because his adversary was intangible. Outside of that circumstance he would never have even thought of doing it. Apparently, Surfer doesn't know he can go intangible in a battle since he never has. Maybe he can only phase for an instant (after a second of concentration) and thus it's not practical in battle. IDK. But he's never went intangible while fighting. His astroplane feat hints that he can't.
