He wouldn't be the silver surfer without a surfboard.
Also keep in mind that back then, surfing and the surfing culture was currently en vogue in American culture: The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, "Wipeout", "Surfin' Bird", the Tornados, any number of "Beach Blanket Bingo" type Hollywood films(even The Beatles got into it somewhat with their second movie, Help!), etc. and it was a major defining aspect the way that hip-hop/gangsta stylings are today(or disco was back in the late 70's, etc).
PS: Even "Misirlou", the guitar-based intrumental song that most people associate with Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction', comes from this surfing-based culture of 1960's America.

When a surfer gets on the board heshe is adding mass to the surfboard In order to float with the surfer on board the combined of the surfer and board must still be less than that of water?
The force that causes things (like the surfer and the surfboard) to float is buoyancy. The force of buoyancy can be determined by the total weight of the liquid that is displaced by the object. The more water that is displaced, the greater the force of buoyancy. Because the surfboard is large (displaces a lot of water) and is relatively light, the upward force of buoyancy from the water is greater than combined downward force from gravity of the surfer and the surfboard. Thus, the surfer and the surfboard float.
What are Silver Surfer's Weakness?
Silver Surfer's main weaknesses include his love for humanity, which can be exploited by enemies attempting to manipulate him emotionally. Additionally, his dependence on his surfboard for travel and power leaves him vulnerable if he is separated from it. Finally, his cosmic powers can be drained or blocked by certain energy-based attacks or powerful beings.
