Surfing is hard to describe, its best to just go learn. Just practice holding away from the ramp on bits where you enough speed to reduce friction and lost speed increase speed. I think a good map to go learn on is surflegends as it has some nice ramps, make sure its a Death-match though. In CS:GO different types of surf maps are playable: The normal surf maps are only for surfing, the goal can be to reach the end as the first player within a limited amount of time. On these maps, you can train surfing a lot and enjoy the game. On Surf-and-Shoot maps the game elements of CS:GO and surfing is mixed. This mode is for advanced surfers.

HomeHow-ToHow to Surf in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Ever wanted to become a pro surfer or became curious what those surf maps are all about? With this article we will look at the basics of surfing as well as some pro tips that can make you a better surfer.

The first step will be to find a surf server. One with a tic rate of 100 or greater is optimal. If you can’t find a good surf map, or if you want to practice, make a LAN server game.
You will want to set your sv_accelerate to 10 in your console
The following are the available sv_airaccelerate options and their difficulties
- Hard: sv_airaccelerate 100
- Semi hard: sv_airaccelerate 150
- Medium: sv_airaccelerate 200
- Easy: sv_airaccelerate 400
- Fun: sv_airaccelerate 800
- Extra easy: sv_airaccelerate 1000
Some popular surf maps include surf_greatriver, surf_fruits/vegetables, Rebel Resistance, or Legends.
The objective of surf maps is to properly maneuver yourself throughout the various obstacles/ramps/stages on the map (ramps will look like floating ramps resembling an inverted V [/]).
You will want to familiarize yourself with the strafe keys. Those are the A and D keys on the keyboard.
Once you jump onto a ramp, you will want to strafe right (D key) if you’re on the left side of the ramp, or strafe left (A key) if you’re on the right side of the ramp. A popular way to remember this is to use this visual symbol D/A. While doing this, you will want to keep your mouse pointed in the direction you want your player to travel.
While surfing on a ramp, you want to avoid
pressing the forward key (W). Pressing the forward key will make you
immediately start to slide off of the ramp you’re surfing on.
In most cases you want to avoid pressing the backwards key (S). The only plausible situations of using the S key are to stop your mid-air flight, such as attempting to land on a pedestal or obstacle. After you hit the S key, you will immediately start to fall vertically. While looking down, your landing spot will be your crosshair. After hitting the S key, you can still maneuver yourself with the strafe keys.
The most difficult maneuvers to perform are turning while surfing. Ideally, you want to wait until you are in mid-air and then strafe in the direction you want to turn (again this is A for going left, or D for going right). At the same time, you want to smoothly and synchronously change direction with your mouse in a centripetal fashion and aim it towards the direction you wish to travel. Once you reach maximum velocity in the
desired direction you want to go, stop strafing. Another popular tactic is to flick your mouse towards the direction you’re want to move to.
To pick up speed, start at the top of the ramp and move downwards. You want to keep your mouse movements at a minimal unless attempting to change direction.
Another aspect that can be hard for beginners is to make sure that you don’t lose speed when jumping from one ramp to another. This can be done by reducing the amount of force that your z-axis experiences to a minimal.
When you have just left a ramp and have to directional turn to land on another ramp, a smart strategy is to land near the top of the next ramp while immediately hitting the proper strafe key (D/A).
To gain maximum distance when launching yourself off one ramp to the next, attempt to be at the highest point when leaving your initial ramp.
Above all else, have fun while surfing. It can be difficult to learn at first, let alone master. With practice comes perfection though.

An example of a Surf Map

Surfing is a mod that originated on Counter-Strike, and has since become popular on Team Fortress 2, CS:GO and CS:S. Surfing involves strafing into slanted walls (commonly referred to as 'ramps'), causing the player to accelerate rapidly and reach an extremely high velocity. When the player reaches the end of the ramp, their velocity is retained. This allows the player to perform large jumps that would normally be impossible. Surf maps will usually require the player to navigate a series of ramps by performing jumps of varying difficulty.

In order for the player to surf on a ramp and maneuver themself through the air during a jump, sv_airaccelerate must be increased from the default value of 10. Most surf servers set this to 150, trick surf servers often set it to 1000. This changes how fast the player can turn without losing velocity. This can either be changed through SourceMod, or launch options via +sv_airacceleration <number>.

Basics

Ramps

Surf Ramps are slanted walls which a player must strafe against using the A or D keys. This is also how a player must get to the end of a map. Surf ramps can loop, curve or slant in almost any direction. Usually, the W key is never used, because upon its trigger, it causes the player to instantly lose traction with the surf ramp, and thus slide downwards. Surf ramps will often end sending the player flying through the air into another Surf ramp, and through this the player can get around the map, often reaching high speeds.

Gaining Speed

A typical Speedup/Slowdown ramp

Gaining Speed is important to navigating the surf map. Players can gain speed by sliding down to the lower parts of the ramp while surfing on a Surf ramp, and by falling to new Surf ramps. Certain areas on Surf ramps may provide the player with a speedup, while others may provide a slowdown. These ramps will often come in pairs, requiring skillful navigation to pass the correct one.

Spawn

BLU and RED Spawns may be as close or as far away from each other as possible. They will often start at a high point of a a Surf ramp, allowing the player to gain a lot of speed before flying to the next ramp. Forgiving maps may respawn a player here if they fall off too early. In most maps you also have 5 seconds protection, when you spawn again after death. This gives you a chance to either kill intruders, or get safely back to the ramps again.

End

Whenever a player reaches the specified End to the map, a player can usually be teleported to a multitude of places. These places could be the top of jail, where one may be able to score frags, unique locations that contain specific reward triggers, or a variety of other places. Some servers will tell the whole server that the player has reached the end.

Jail

A Surf Jail, this one being Arena based

A notable part of a combat surf map is the Jail. Whenever a player strays away from the surf ramps or falls onto the map floor, they are most likely to end up in jail. Jails can usually be operated in different spots, but are most often situated where the opposing team is able to kill victims, or an arena like area, often in a remote place. Commonly, there is a kill button (that kills everyone instantly or over time) and a free button that opens an exit, allowing players to continue surfing on the regular map.
