Did you notice how Harry ended up on his feet on the
broom?

When Harry and the Slythrin seeker are in the fast 
straight down dive, and Harry stays in the dive a lot
longer. Just before he pulls out of the dive, when he 
is nearly at the ground, he jumps up on his broom and
pushes down with his his feet and pull up with his 
hands. He is doing this to give him enough leverage on
the broom to pull out of the dive in time. Once he 
pulls out of the dive and is moving level with the 
ground, the snitch is right in front of him, just out
of his reach. 

So my point is they didn't just show him 'surfing'
because they thought it would be a cool shot, it was
the natual sequence of events.
