Bodysurfing. Even with a wetsuit for bouyancy, that is TIRING, because you will tread water the whole time! Fun, though. Even if you're an excellent swimmer, I'd be surprised if you last 2 hours bodysurfing.
Bodyboarding is also slightly more athletically demanding than stand-up surfing. The scale goes (from least athletic to most): Paddle Surfer, longboarder, funshape, shortboard, kneeboard, bodyboard, bodysurf.
Basketball is generally a better workout than surfing, though. But it kind of depends on what sort of session it is: In consistant OH and up surf, it'd be surfing. In inconsistant surf or when it's less than HH, then hoops.
If you want a really good workout try surfing without a leash.
