Capitalization makes a difference in this case.
I created the redirect because the hyphen (-) makes a difference. The hyphen makes "Shield-Surfing" (capitalized) a whole word, different from the whole word "Shield-surfing" (non-capitalized).
If it were an underscore (_), that makes no difference. The underscore makes "Shield_Surfing" (capitalized) the same as "Shield_surfing" (non-capitalized).

@ Sanityormadness - Thank you for the image! I'll put it up in the article. As far as the redirect, I just wanted to cover any permutation for the search.
I'll also create a redirect for "Shield Surf", now that I'm looking at the image...
