the material its is made from is less dense than water so it floats, and it is so much denser that it can take a humans weight once at a certain speed, but not enough to float with a human on it when 'standing still' in the water.

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.
