Yes, and no.

Yes, in that the browser is based on Safari and is nearly as capable as the desktop Safari browser. That said, some sites often check for the device type and will send the mobile version of their site to the iPad, even though the iPad is more than capable of rendering the full website. (To that end there are other browser apps you can download from the App Store to get around that limitation.)

No, however, if your definition of Surfing the internet includes flash support, Java support, and other plugin support. There are some apps that help with the lack of flash (Skyfire, iSwifter, Frash on a jailbroken device), but there's no solution that works all the time on every site. (Not to mention the fact that most Flash is not designed to work with touch-screen devices.)
