Since I'm on this side of the pond, I quess I have to ask if he is paddling
with single blade while kneeling, or does he sit and paddle with a double
blade?

If he paddles it like a kayak, yes, it can be surfed if it is set up correctly.
Does the boat have thigh straps? How stiff will it inflate? If he has a decent
boat with a proper set up, has some concept of how the current will react to
his boat and what to do about it, I wouldn't think he would have much of a
problem. Self rescue if pretty easy in an IK, I do it in some pretty difficult
WW, so surf should be that much different.

Just my opinion,
