The surface area of a cone can be calculated using the formula SA = πr(r + l), where r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height of the cone.

Given that the diameter of the cone's base is 14 inches, the radius (r) is half of that, which is 14/2 = 7 inches.

Using the formula, SA = 3.14 * 7(7 + 20), we can simplify this to SA = 3.14 * 7 * 27 = 591.06

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the cone peak is 591.06 square inches. Answer: \boxed{591.06}.
