Well of course, since his super speed only pertains to flight, but he can fly just as fast off of his board as on it, it's just that flying without it uses his own energy. And it's not a problem dude.
I never said he could, but then again not many CAN move as fast on foot as he does on his board. But there's nothing to indicate that his reactions are dulled in the slightest just because he's standing on the ground. If he can react to something coming at him at lightspeed while on his board, he can react to it while off his board as well. He might have to react differently(like throw up a forcefield or duck rather than loop around the beam) but he doesn't gain the mental speed of a human just from stepping off his surfboard.

Though not as durable and fast, IMO their strength is at the least comparable, with Thor also having more consistent showings of strength than Surfer, and undeniably being the more skilled physical combatant.
Indeed, the thunder god is right, you see Thor dishing out punishment left and right, but Surfer usually utilizes the Power Cosmic, his own base strength is very rarely seen. Plus, Thor has spent countless years training and fighting hand to hand, while Norrin Radd was a philosopher/scientist before becoming the Surfer, and has stayed much the same.
Now it is clear that SS's reactions are better than Thor's and that Thor's fighting skills are better than SS's. Let's assume their strength and physical durability is comparable enough that it won't make any difference in the fight.
While in comics Thor would win, I give this fight to Silver Surfer simply because I believe that superior senses and reactions trumps superior fighting skills most of the time.
The only way Thor can possibly win is if his attack speed is sufficiently in the vicinity of SS's reactions. If so, Thor can distract, feint, and other skillful ploys to offset SS's reaction advantage. After all, SS has done some dumb Sugar Honey Ice Tea like walk into the fists of Thanos.
Now CA beating Spidey is unacceptable to me. Spidey's reflexes at their best are infinitely better (future sense) than CA's and he is also much stronger.
Thus I see this fight similar to that one except that the skill and strength gap is smaller.
Gender: Male Location: Drinking gasoline. Pissing napalm.
Surfer doesn't even need to amp to be physically above Hulk and Skaar w/ Old Power and other top tier bricks. Guys Thor usually has difficulty matching up to strengthwise.
That doesnt mean he can beat somebody stronger and better at fighting than him its a slugfest a couple right hooks and a head kick for the Ko Cro Cop style mother****er
