Comments on the clue

1.	Good idea, but surface is rather forced, and I'm not that keen on 'going up' to indicate the anagram
2.	An explanation of the anagrind is required. If you meant 'going up' as 'exploding', then ok. If you meant it literally, it isn't.

Comments on the competition
1.
Poor double definitions and extremely obvious definitions were both to much in evidence this time. There was also a lot o long complicated stuff. That said, I found a number of good straightforward clues, and so my top ones, 5 and 14, both very neat, each had to make do with four points.
