I would assume that the term migrated from the term "Channel Surfing", in reference to wandering through television channels. The origin of the computer term to surf the net from what i can work out comes from the term the internet as a net is cast to catch websites which have been placed on the internet and nets are usually meant to be cast in water so it seems logical that this is where the term derives from .
