You have a kite so there is no need to ride a massive surfboard. If surfers could ride a tiny board, throw massive spray and do huge airs, they would.
Right-on. ^^^
Surfers would love to ride mini-shooters.
But the reality is that surfboards need to be buoyant enough (big enough) to support a paddler, paddling.
Paddle-power is the engine-room of surfing.
Kiting is a wind-driven turbo-ride.
ZZZZZZZZoooooooooooommmmm
The design-criteria for both sports (surfing and wavekiting) varies.
