CS:GO surfing is a unique skill-based movement technique where players glide across specially designed angled surfaces. I'll teach you how to surf effectively in just a few simple steps.

First, you'll need to join a surf server. Type "surf" in the community server browser and look for servers with "beginner" or "easy" in their names. These servers typically have simpler maps perfect for learning.

To start surfing, use these optimal settings: - Set cl_showpos 1 in console to see your speed - Disable mouse acceleration - Use a relatively low mouse sensitivity - Bind a key to "toggle cl_clockcorrection_msecs 0 7.5" for smoother surfing

Here's the basic surfing technique:

1. Hold the A or D key (never both) when approaching a ramp

   • Use A for surfaces tilted right
   • Use D for surfaces tilted left

2. Don't press W while surfing - this is crucial

   • W kills your momentum
   • Only use W when starting from a standstill

3. Move your mouse smoothly in the direction you're surfing

   • For right-tilted ramps, move mouse right
   • For left-tilted ramps, move mouse left

The key to successful surfing is maintaining speed. Start with simple maps like surf_beginner or surf_easy to practice these fundamentals: - Keep your movements smooth and controlled - Learn to transition between surfaces - Practice maintaining a consistent height on ramps - Start slow and gradually build up speed

Common mistakes to avoid: - Pressing multiple movement keys simultaneously - Using W while surfing - Making jerky mouse movements - Looking down while surfing

Once you've mastered the basics, try these advanced techniques: - Air strafing between ramps - Speed control for precise landings - Ramp skipping for faster times - Understanding optimal surf angles

Practice is essential - expect to spend several hours before becoming comfortable with basic surfing mechanics. Start with 15-30 minute sessions on beginner maps and gradually progress to more challenging courses as you improve.

Remember: surfing is about smooth, controlled movements. Take your time learning the basics, and you'll be flying through advanced maps before you know it.
