Good question; I honestly don't know about seeing the surface with Lowrance SS and I've been using them for years. Logically, the transducer is mounted below the surface and with wave action I would suspect there's always going to be a blind spot per se, and the further you move away from the boat the more pronounced it might be.

I primarily use it for trolling so I can't help you with the casting/seeing follows but can tell you that we can see the down rods going in and out of the water, and I can definitely see fish in the 5-10' range well away from the boat based on their shadow.

I think that's a good question to ask a Lowrance tech, and then report back here.
