Semantics but it does take more skill (usually) to catch from shore than a boat but that doesn't mean that only surfcasters are skilled - that same skilled angler 4 times out of 5 will do well almost anywhere they are placed...

swimming out to a rock to catch fish?...I say its time to buy a boat at that point, surf is surf...swimming to boulders20, 50 or 60 yards offshore well, thats suicide..I know, its a "new" thing but if you say you fish from the surf...in my mind that means the beach where the "surf" breaks at terra firma ....not on some rock 60 yards off it..I would say risking life, neck and limb is definatly not worth it and in no way makes someone a better fisherman,most likely its a way to avoid a boat payment and still reach fish, Myself and others never needed to do that to catch fish from the shore
