You need some. Balancing the upper part of your body as well as paddling out to where you begin to ride and finally the strength to push up as you get up to stand on the board.

balance and coordination are way more important, so if you still have these... (enough) strength is something you could develop over time, and with enough practice

How do i measure that? Well I'm trained, is that enough?

It's more legs, core, stabilizing muscles than upper body.

How much upper body strength do you have to have to surf?

  But there are normal slim girls who can surf. I doubt its primary muscle based.
