This is all very esoteric stuff, but when the Surfer was tracking planets for Galactus, he might do so at a 14 Lightyear distance, which in the Mighty Protectors rules has a range penalty of -54 (I worked out the math).
An Earth-sized planet would reduce the ranged penalty to -40. With his telescopic bonus of +12 and with his Acute bonus of +24, the Surfer has a final penalty of -4. His surfboard can travel at 14.26 LY per hour. So, in order to find a planet with an appropriate life-giving energy he needed to make an IN-based task check of 7 or less!

The Surfer after Doom is Defeated
1. I used the Companion ability to model the surfer's surfboard, as it often acted much more like a companion than a simple piece of gear.
2. In the comics, the surfer is able to affect huge areas, such as raising mountains or disturbing miles of ocean, something that is not possible with the current version of Mighty Protectors.
3. I took a modifier from Transmutation -- "any physical object" -- as a cost model for the Surfer's Shaping ability, as he can create almost any type of material.
4. The abilities which require concentration to activate is the surfer directing his vast cosmic power into an ability.
5. I did not give the surfer the cosmic awareness ability, as the MP version doesn't really fit him. His heightened sense of energy detection not only worked to find planets for Galactus, but it also works as a form of "cosmic awareness" as he can sense cosmically powerful beings or events.
