Finless surfing is not that difficult.
It's certainly more difficult than with a fin - at least it was for me. It felt like the board following the line of least resistance resulted in it rotating away from the direction of travel which was not something I'd experienced at all previously while learning with a finned board.
Edit: actually, thinking back to it and the experience that day, I remember that the only real success I had on a finless board was when I was crouched quite low to the water - you had to keep your centre of weight much lower else the board went whizzing off. Translating that back to anatomy, that's an awful lot to change morphologically comparative to adding a little hump for stability.
