[Surf] Tutorial

[Ryan~]

Note: Surfing is not something you can learn in a single day and hope to master it the other day. So please don’t get upset if you’re not able to. It isn’t an easy thing but one can master it, but it requires time.

Learning how to surf

1
Understand the basics. Surfing in Counter-Strike is accomplished by sliding down angled surfaces, using gravity to maintain your speed. You'll be required to jump from surface to surface to navigate the map. You'll be using the A and D buttons to stay on the angle, and the mouse to steer.

2
Hold .A or D while on the angle towards the apex. Every time you're surfing an angle, you should be hold either A or D, whichever key is the opposite of the slope. For example, if you're on an angle where the upper edge is on your right, and the lower edge is on your left, press and hold D to push yourself towards the apex. This will keep you on the surface so that you don't fall off.[2]
This is the essential motion for surfing. You always want to be pushing the opposite direction of the angle you're on to counter gravity.
A basic way to remember this is to use this simple diagram: D/\A

3
Aim your mouse towards the bottom corner of the angled surface. This will increase your speed, allowing gravity to work in your favor.

4
Move back towards the upper corner before jumping. After moving towards the bottom of the ramp, quickly aim towards the upper corner and climb back up before jumping to the next surface. You are essentially making a wave motion for each surface you hit (start high, move low, and then move back up high before jumping).

5
Press .Space to jump to the next surface. When you reach the end of a surfing surface, press Space to jump and move to the next angled surface. Try to jump at the last possible second to maintain your speed.

6
Hold .A or D while in the air, depending on your direction. Hold the key that matches the direction you're going in mid-air

7
Never press .W while surfing. While it might be tempting to press W to "move forward," this will actually slow you down. You'll get all the speed you need by moving along the angled ramps.[3]
If you need to stop mid-air, or slow down on a ramp for some reason, press S. Otherwise, avoid this key was well.

8
Try to hit the next ramp in the upper corner nearest to you. This will give you the most space to surf downwards to the bottom corner of the far end of the ramp. Hitting the right entry spot for the ramp can be essential for maintaining a high speed.
Be careful when lining up your approach, as hitting the edge of the ramp will likely kill you from fall damage.

Using Advanced Techniques

1
Adjust your game settings.  Use fps_max 131  and l_cl 0

2
Avoid big air. Big jumps may look cool, but they'll kill your forward momentum. If you're trying to get the best times, you'll want to stick to low jumps to clear the space you need while maintaining your speed.
The longer you hold Space, the higher you'll jump. Try to just tap it to clear the gaps you need to get over.

3
Look for shortcuts and corners you can skip. The one time big air can come in useful is if you've found a shortcut you can use or a part fo the map you can skip. This almost always requires a very high speed so that you can make the jump. Not all maps have skippable sections.

4
Use shotguns if you want to attack other players. The M3 shotgun is one of the best weapons to use while surfing, as it stays accurate even while moving quickly. It's meant for close range, so try to use it on players using the same surfing ramp as you.
Not all servers allow you to use guns and attack other surfers.
Try to avoid automatic weapons, as the accuracy will be terrible. The same goes for single shot snipers, as you'll never get an accurate shot while moving.
