Still bad at Surf? Check this out - ADVANCED Surf Guide: • How to Beat ANY Surf Map
CSGO Surf is one of the hardest games to learn, with complicated physics and punishing controls. It took me thousands of hours to master the basics. We went deep on surf fundamentals and then tackled broader topics such as curved ramps, headsurfs, and saveloc usage.

What is your surfing settings
This is probably one of the best informational videos for both beginners and more experienced people. I think it was one of the coolest things to give an example using a very well known map. Awesome job on the vid, and I can't wait to see more!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ramping is so incredibly important in surf, and even something like the line you take on a ramp can be crucial for how your run is gonna go. Sometimes, an immediate bottom-out on a ramp can lose you units, while a consistent, delayed line to the bottom of the ramp helps you gain units.
Goliath B2 is a good example, because if you don't bottom out immediatly, it gets you a better angle to second, which in turn helps to to more easily finish the bonus.
Surfed a lot on TF2 years ago, and finding your videos is bringing the itch back. It's a shame the KSF CSGO servers have been down.
U can try surfheaven for csgo
just move to a superior game, css
@@Sopel997 or move to a superior server and timer in surfheaven.
@@madroxjamie surfheaven is not superior
I came back playing csgo a few days ago
Is there any way to play in a surf server?
Great video. I think it's worth mentioning that looking up or down has no impact on your movement and gaining or losing height is only dependent on how much you move your mouse into or away from the ramp. Also with vertical mouse movement out of the equation, saying up or down the ramp becomes less confusing.
Damn, thanks a lot for this video. Never been into surf, but started now with CS2.
hope it helps, gl with the rampbugs lol
i actually learned a lot from this, this is what i needed to get from t5 to t6 and above, i couldnt figure all of this alone, i'm not playing that much these days but when i come back i'll make sure to re watch this video and try to apply those i'm sure it'll make a huge difference in my units
Dude thanx to you I finally learned to surf half way to your video. Keeping mouse on the line without moving un necessarily, was way helpful.
I haven’t surfed since 1.6 and your videos have been super helpful for getting back into things. Great stuff!
Very happy there’s somebody out here making surfing content, hope you keep with it 👍
the biggest takeaway for new players - before you board a ramp, strafe such that the angle you're boarding the ramp is as perpendicular with the ramp as possible. think about what happens when you smack into the ramp, same as smacking into a wall. minimize unit loss due to collision with ramps
Damn this is some hot fucking facts
I think I've watched this 40 times now just to pick apart all the info, this is such a great video. And thanks to this I've completed my first few maps including a tier 2 :)
AMAZING!
@@Repster instructions unclear I’m now a half-sideways surf pro 😳
went crazy with the editing on this one, another great vid👍
Appreciate it!
I used to KZ a lot I wasn't bad but wasn't great. But I always sucked at surfing and this video showed me why. This video was great!
good job man, nice too see new creators making content you'd expect from the best
i lowered my sens to 1.1 from 2.5 and aimed for the edges of ramps more and thanks to you ive just finished my first ever map boreas thank you lol
You're very helpful, man. This video should be watched by every surfer worldwide
The thing I’m imagining as I’m learning how to surf is that my character is very delicate, (made out of glass or something idk) and so I’m trying not to have any blunt accelerations or decelerations in any direction, like landing and clunking on the edge of a ramp or smacking into the side when boarding from the same side, seemed to help tons.
you have to see it like a lane change on the highway usng your car.
some ramps stop not in the same line as the last, you to do the
adjustment you move the mouse as slightly as the gap, and turn
allows you to. as soon as you touch the ramp you want to be parrallel
with the ramp, or slightly pointing downwards.
on the turns i can only add dont focus on staying on the same height
on the ramp, move your mouse exactly like the turn is angled. so if the turn starts very flat, and then keeps getting tighter the same way you have to move the mouse according to that turn change. it takes
a few tries, but then you have the feeling to it.
I remember the first time I surfed I just rage quit immediately. But later I discovered leafy and after months of watching his surf game play I gave surf another try and copied his movements. It was like night and day. Sometimes just watching someone better than you will subconsciously rub off on you.
Just picked up surfing in tf2 and this helped me realize why i kept losing speed at certain parts
Instantly improved after I learned the right technique. Thanks for the video, amazing content! :)
I teied following your advice, and it made it significantly harder to even get halfway where I was before
Just what I was needing I think the biggest thing I will take from this video is ramping and pushing/testing ur skill and n higher tier maps. Also watched that tas run of batmans the other day and it’s just memorising.
helped me complete a 42 in surf utopia ty
Thanks repster!! ❤️❤️❤️
thanks man this really helped
also dont crouch and turn :) good vid rep
yooo my man got a sponsor lets go
That title feels like such a personal call-out, bruh
LOL NOOO too much clickbait my b
I didn't expect to learn too much, but didn't know that about curved ramps or head surfing all these years 😅
damn i cant even do surf utopia, seeing all these maps hurt my brain
I got better at surfing because of this video, Thanks!
gz on sponsor, thanks for the content.
learning this way is so different from how it was back in the day when you just had to spec good people with !skeys
yep that was the #1 advice ppl used to give, top players have like 50+ days of spectate time lol.
beautiful video B)
been waiting for a video like this for like... forever lol
honestly good guide we showed the video to our friend and we will tell you soon the results.
yo lmk how they do, tell them to record lol
Thank you,now I finally understand.I wase aware of airstrafing as I play TF2,but I guess I was too stupid to do that here.Much appreciated tutorial!
Great kontent keep it up!
keep it up
As someone who unlearned how to surf (last time i surfed was in TF2 of all places in 2014) ... this is very useful. Thanks :D
I was really good at trimping in tf2 and i wanted to get into surf, So this is a great help
Never knew ramps had hieght :)
Jk, good vid as always! Keep it up
great content
Solid vid, YT definitely needs more of these. Question though, when should someone crouch (e.g. start zone, boarding)?
Crouching is mostly used to narrowly miss the edge of the startzone. In run, you can press crouch to make your playermodel a bit smaller, so you fit under/over obstacles. You can also perform a crouchboard on ramps, but that is a highly advanced technique that mostly only high level surfers use
thank you this helped a lot, i don't look dumb now in surf
Low sense is key and I use custom mouse acceleration values as it helps me with accuracy and speed when needed.
while surfing on low sense is definetly better for most people, high sense is also possible. personally i only have around 2-3 mousewidths of space for handmovement so i play on high sense but did a few tier 4 maps and did good progress on tier 5s aswell. and ive never really fully tryharded on surf (did put in a good amount of hours for sure though).
Good video beginners need this and even
I still suck
Everyone gaslit me into thinking that you should strafe into the ramp for bends. Thank you for confirming that strafing the other way was correct because that's the only way I have been able to do it.
For the long curves you can still do that you just have to move your mouse further into the curve. It's generally easier because there's no chance of coming off the ramp and colliding with it again, which will happen if you are strafing into the ramp and move your mouse too fast. It's a lot harder to it perfectly, but it's faster because it's the shortest line.
Man how i would love videos like this 15 years ago lmao. I usually only surfed freestyle deathmatches in css but i did love to watch records on hard maps back then. I was breastfed quake engine physics so i prefered classic vq3 strafe defrag over cs bunnyhop physics but i always loved how smooth surfing is. Very well made video.
ty!
THE GOAT
well done video
Ty for the vid, went from totally useless to at least knowing how to do a curve
when you fly onto a ramp, you will have an imaginary arrow in 3d space that describes your direction. the ramp is a plane, and your vector needs to be parallell with the ramp to not lose speed. that is the most important thing to know, or one of the most important
Thank you!
7:40 that's not eDPI
very nice and enjoyable video :)
+rep, fixed my Surf
Very nice video! +1 subcriber

sponsored hype
congrats on sponsor
Here's something I've noticed new surfers make a mistake on. Unless you are on a curved ramp, you ALWAYS press D if you are moving your mouse to the right, and A if you're moving your mouse to the left. You NEVER press D and move your mouse to the left and vice versa. You only do this if you're on a curved ramp.
i was trying to do mesa and other maps with out commands i thought it was impossible
thx bro
thanks bro
crazy how the optimal path to join a ramp is a brachistochrone if you know you know.
i watched a ton of tutorials and i get flung off the curved ramps and i still do
cs2 is broken but IG servers and community servers in general have a plugin
i wouldnt recommend playing offline
Or just play CSS or Momentum Mod
Hello man, nice video! Im on 5:25 and wondering why the player presses Q, is that a missclick? o that he has like a smooth turning script
that is a turnbind, on counter strike: source you can use "bind mouse1 +left" and "cl_yawspeed 80" to reproduce whats done in the video. I use Q and E which is not recommended.

How do you surf in cs2 ? Id love to surf but dont know where to start
Same
I have a full guide for surf_666 too! Great map.
I swear i apply all of this consistantly when i surf.. yet i still suck ass stuck at t2.
it would of been so easy if i had this 3 years ago when i started surfing
The most important thing i would recommend new players to do is just strafe on a flat surface with no unit lock. Strafing.
can u talk about pre strafes? and how to get 400+ easily in csgo?
ye, beetle179 has a really good video on prestrafes but its only for CSS
@@Repster I would like to know how players like buz, liquidator, tucks and bzukey get 420+ units in pre strafes
0:35 'hieght' xd - I might be a bit mad but is the volume on this quieter than normal
ye was trying to avoid peaking proly overdid it
@@Repster no worries, it's not too bad, its just noticeably comparable to other videos
I have 3k hrs in csgo and only just started surfing!
But im good at surf
💯
true
Womp womp
my dream in life to finish utopia one day
Some look like they flick their mouse when they are super close to the ramp. Is there something to that technique?
great video, what is the background music you play? very groovy
how can u turn 360 going down so consistently with such low sens?
I use turnbinds A LOT but also use a huge mousepad. Mousepad space management become another layer on higher tier maps
Is there a proper up to date guide on how to host a surf server? I just want to practice by myself on one map for as long as I want, but it's so hard to find the right settings and plugins.
momentum mod has a freely available version, its either 0.6.0 or 0.8.5, where u can practice any map. You should check out their website/discord server. I would not recommend setting up your own surf server as there are hundreds of fixes, no-jump zones, triggers changes etc. on servers that you wont have
are you using Q and E to turn left/right?
just gotta be smooooooooooth
W bro
Ive been playing on gmod but want to get into css what surver would yall recommend for a beginner?
My guy, what exactly are you recommending in terms of DPI.
Also you're mistaking edpi with your sensitivity multiplier. Edpi or Tdpi is the mouse DPI * in game sensitivity. E.g. 800 DPI * 1.1 = 880DPI.
Are you suggesting a range between 800 * 0.6-1.4 ?
That'd be anywhere between 480 - 1120 tDPI/ eDPI (true or effective dpi)
CS2 really threw some nasty _bumps_ in this tutorial huh.
(ramp bugs/glitches)
how i gain speed and height so i can jump really long
0:33 ☝️🤓 ummm... Acktuallly they're triangular prisms
I'll watch, but I don't think I'll be beating any t4s still. I've been surfing since 2016 and I still struggle to break top 100s.
Wow actually learned something. Can't wait to get home xD
when i try to do the curving turns i just fall off while doing everything correctly💀💀
You need enough speed to do curved ramps correctly as shown in the video, if you are too slow for the ramp then you need to time to time surf it like normal ramp to not fall off and then continue "correctly"
One question , been surfing for 2 to 3 years now , i always played with a higher sen so i could deal with spin or long spin , how do you guy with low sen deal with it , i rly want to know , dont you guys run out of desk space?
we primarily use turnbinds, a tool that allows you to spin at a consistent rate. The binds are +left and +right but I also have a tutorial for turnbinds on my channel
whats the song at the start?
Idk how kids in utopia be flying and going sonic speed while im going like 2300
If your sensitivity is relatively low, how do you spin in tight vertical spots? Have you bound right and left turn in some button?
Yes I made a video about this called "how pro surfers turn without their mouse", its pretty easy to set up
@@Repster Have to check that out 👍
Is it ok to play surf by downloading surf map on workshop and just play offline by myself? I generally don't like joining community server where it instantly starts to download a bunch of custom stuff and I don't have control for which map will be on
I would highly advise against playing offline. If you want to avoid downloads, just stick to GFL and Surfheaven as they have multiple servers and all the maps listed.
@RepsterSurf What are the upside and downside to offline vs on hosted server? I know the obvious one are the plug ins like saving location etc, but what if I don't care and just want to casually surf and finish a map? Also does ping matter when it comes to surf server?
@@-dash. ping only matters for bhop and teleports but not that big of an issue.
Well honestly, if you're just going to try surf a couple times offline is fine. But for long term play surf servers have fixed hundreds of issues on maps, allow for systems like saveloc and centerspeed, and a timer to track how fast you surf. surf is like a speedrunning game for most so time matters.
