"Stan Lee, in the book “Son of Origins of Marvel Comics” (1975), credits Kirby with having created the surfer. According to Lee, Kirby penciled the first chapter of the story after an informal meeting, in which the the two agreed that the Fantastic Four's next foe should be a gigantic godlike being “capable of destroying entire planets.” A rather generic concept to develop.
What is most interesting about Lee's memory is the recollection of his surprise when Kirby hands him the pages of the first chapter of the trilogy and sees a figure flying on a surfboard. Kirby explains to him that a being as powerful as Galactus must have a herald, a vanguard that precedes him and paves his way.
This confirms that Lee had no input into the initial design of the character."
