Oh Beau does the same. I can't believe how cheeky he is. We went to my mum's for dinner a couple of days ago and when our backs were turned he pulled a bottle of sherry off the wine rack. Then he kept trying to get the ferrero rocher which were on the kitchen table. He hasn't worked out yet that if he climbs onto the kitchen chair he can reach everything, and I am not about to show him. Ha ha these poos certainly keep us on our toes!! 
The best way is to just make sure they are kept clear and there is no reward for doing the surfing. The behaviour should then decrease and hopefully stop.
Telling off will only work if you are around. If you are not then the dog knows it can get away with it.
If you want an active method you need to set it up so the work tops punish the dog for jumping. If your dog doesnt like noise setting it up so pan lids will fall if they jump up could work or something similar. John Rogerson at a course I went to many years back suggested putting double sided sticky tape alone the front of the work tops so that the dog was nipped as its hair was pulled on the tape and it put them off. Or he had bangers that went off when the dog moved things that he got from a joke shop but I havent tried either method personally.
Keeping the worktops clear is the easiest method and a good habit to have LOL that was what I did with my collies who would do it. I had to put a cover over the gas cooker as Zak turned the gas on one time I was out ......
