I don't think it's possible to do this in such a way that
the resulting object will work as a Surface in all contexts.

That's probably about the best you can do.

However, if it were me I'd be thinking about whether I
can redesign things so that I don't need a specialised
version of an existing surface. Perhaps if you tell us
more about why you want to do this, we can suggest
alternatives.
