California owns this. Not just in the amount of people who participate, but also how it permeates mainstream culture there like nowhere else in the country.

I thought of it more from a tourist point of view (at least my tourist point of view), that where there's a beach, there's ways to surf, and Fort Lauderdale is the number one spring break stop at the beach. So I've heard. I would only assume the coast of Florida is worthwhile enough to surf in.
California > Florida in terms of surfing. Thus SD and LA are higher on my list.

Since the topic is about all kinds of "board" sports, I'd be hesitant to put Florida up there with several other places as it's not so well known for skateboarding compared to many others, and is really terrible for snowboarding.
I think the big winner here is definitely Los Angeles which has pavement, surf, and snow. Other Californian cities/metros like San Diego, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz also do fairly well on all fronts while cities like Seattle and Portland are pretty good for skateboarding and snowboarding.
