Surf Master is potentially one of the most straightforward surf maps in CS:GO. It features all the core characteristics of surfing and includes fun courses that aren’t that challenging to complete. Nothing extraordinary is needed to create a map for surfing in CS:GO – such locations use the in-game physics to allow virtual characters to slip on slanted ramps. Your guy jumps on such surfaces, and the CS GO surf game begins. You need to keep him on the ramp, jump over the obstacles, and sometimes kill opponents on the way. 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. 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. !ws!knife Easy SuRF!skins ##ReD Bull 24/7.

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
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 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.
Obstacles
Skill maps have obstacles to prevent the player from surfing directly to the finish. The obstacles may require the player to keep as much speed as possible, or to navigate through a series of walls via air strafing.Obstacles may include:
- Walls
- Spirals
- Holes
- Bunny hops†
- Slowdown Areas
†Since bunny hopping to preserve speed is not possible in TF2 without any modification, some developers have created plugins for SourceMod to replicate bunny hopping.
Map Types
Combat/Death-Match
Combat/Death-Match Surf maps are maps that usually have a jail or central region where players gather and battle. These maps may have an end where you would gain an advantage over players in the jail area or central region. Combat/Death-Match surf maps may also have checkpoints where you would gain some advantage over players. In some cases, these combat maps may contain an area overlooking an area to give Snipers a height advantage over players. Occasionally, combat surf maps may have secrets where you would receive a 'special treatment', such as access to places where you could easily kill.
Combat/Death-Match surf maps usually contain Control Points where players can capture and win the round, or the Control Point could be for the gamemode King of the Hill. There are often many 'stopping points' in which there is normal flat terrain to battle on, often also containing control points.
Skill
Skill Surf maps are purely surfing, and as such have little or no fighting. Maps greatly range in difficulty and usually contain no 'jail' or central region. These maps promote techniques of surfing, for example, to keep speed and quick air strafing. These maps may contain spins, bunny hops, and jumps from ramp to ramp or ramp to platforms.There are 2 types of skill surf maps:
- Staged skill maps
- Linear skill maps
Staged skill maps are skill maps with stages or checkpoints in between the whole surf. The stages may have their own theme and style of surfing.
Linear skill maps are skill maps without stages or stops in between the whole surf. These maps may be as short as 30 seconds, or as long as 3 minutes. You basically surf from start to end, hence linear.
There is a variant called a staged linear map, shown by Panzer in his map surf_eternal. The whole surf itself is linear, but if you fail on one of the 'stages', you will usually be sent back to a place where you can either select which 'stage' you want to continue on.
Trick Surf
Trick Surf is where you surf around the map performing a series of tricks. Tricks may include surfing backwards or sideways, wraps, or a series of jumps and air strafes. A 'wrap' is where you wrap around a segment of a surf ramp one or more times. The skill level of trick surf can be compared to skill surfing, but the skill varies around each trick.
The Way to find Surf Maps
Surf maps can easily be found. When you open up TF2, you have to go to Servers, and write 'surf_' down in the Map section. There's a lot of different maps to choose, and some of them are more surfing than others. But when you have found the one you like, you simply connect to the server and choose a team.
Strategies
- Maps may be hard at first, but practice makes perfect. Keep at these maps and you will eventually reach the end.
- When surfing on combat maps, use your speed to throw off the enemy. Jumping off ramps and firing at enemies, then landing again can help greatly. You can surf sideways to help yourself aim.
- Some maps require you to navigate through some obstacles. To help, try to envision your route before air strafing.
- There is no required way to surf one map, try every route you find!
- Keep note that there may be unexpected things while surfing, situations like negative gravity! Explore what you can do with any map feature.
- There may be areas where you can telehop (teleport hopping). It is where you can keep the amount of velocity you have by entering a teleport which sends you to a location, usually by bunny hopping.
- Speed boosts can be essential to navigating a course correctly, as not having enough speed often means you cannot get to the next Surf ramp. Avoiding slowdowns is important due to this.
- Some Surf Map ends provide a teleport into the enemy spawn. Use this to rack up loads of kills on unsuspecting foes!
- Survival is key when you reach the end and get teleported to a fragging area. If you die here, you will have to repeat the entire course again!
- On Combat Surf, it is important to keep your spawn protected and your team dominating the jail, otherwise the other team will most likely see the opportunity and spend the round's time spawn and/or jail camping for free kills. It's your team or theirs.

The art of CS GO surfing!
As with the real parkour, rules in CS:GO surfing are super simple – overcome obstacles, jump over gaps, try not to fall, and reach the finish.
There is always a ramp on CS GO surf maps – it’s an inclined surface, a substitute for waves, a necessary thing to move in the CS:GO virtuality. When a game character jumps onto the ramp, they begin sliding. To continue this movement, you have to act in a particular way.
Here is the tutorial on how to surf CSGO:
- Jump on the ramp.
- Press A or D to remain on the surface. The rule here is – move left (A) if you are on the right side of the ramp, and right (D) if you are on the left side. So, try to keep close to the ramp’s center, like on the “scheme” D/A. These are your essential surf CSGO commands.
- Always point the crosshair in the direction of your CS GO surf. The character moves wherever you direct him.
- Speed-up by moving slightly to the ramp’s top and then moving downwards. Use the mouse for this.
- Sometimes you will need to turn – use both mouse movement and the “A-D” keys. These actions should be synchronized, so point the mouse cursor left while pressing A, and right while pressing D.
- Don’t press the “W-S” buttons – this spoils the CSGO surfing.

Mastering the art of surfing may take some time, but with the internal motivation, you will develop this skill easily. High levels of fun are quite a motivation, aren’t they? And it is also quite a show – you won’t find the like even in professional CS:GO Esports tournaments.
Surf Skill and Surf Combat
Becoming a deft CS:GO surfer may be just the beginning of your way to perfection. Will be you good enough in this art to battle opponents on such surfing maps?
CSGO Surf maps may be divided into these groups:
- Surf Skill – surf to reach the finish;
- Surf Combat – surf with the usual CS:GO shooting. Usually, battles take place on various areas between surfing sections.
These names aren’t official, so you may not find them in map descriptions. Just be attentive at the stage of choosing the location and you will know what to do on a particular map.
