    I'm a bit late to this... But i wanted to share my story. It was Spring and I was playing surf on CS Source from home at the sweet age of 17. A message pops up and the girl I had a huge crush on told me she was single and we starting speaking that afternoon. It's super vivid and clear in my brain, the skype messages popping up, the map I was playing on at the time, me constantly failing at surfing because I kept checking her messages every 15 seconds, grinning ear to ear. It's now 11 years later and she's my wife, and she sits with me sometimes when I play surf maps.

    I was feeling nostalgic recently and joined a random server in CS 1.6 with surf_ski_2 hosted to see if I still can make it to the secret room many years after. As soon as I joined, I heard a bunch of kids talking in the voice chat. Surf was always big in Russia, and the new generation keeps it alive to this day. Mariowned, thank you for everything you did! Surf will always take a special place in my heart, it's a huge part of my childhood.

    Hi Mariowned. I’m from South Africa. I thought Id share my surf story too.
    In late 2004, my mother was diagnosed with an incurable form of breast cancer. The doctors gave her anywhere between 6 months and a year to live. Turns out she made it to about 14 months and passed away in 2005, two days before Christmas. I’m born in 1992, so I was 13 at the time (and our “summer holiday” is over December so we start the new school year in January). That same January I also went to high school, just having finished primary school. I lost almost all of my big group of friends (going to different schools), was “initiated” (depending on your school- this is pretty brutal, mine was no exception, it’s basically mandated bullying of the juniors by the seniors), and my mom who was my absolute anchor and the greatest joy every afternoon going home, was taken from me. She would watch me play CS, being a gamer herself (although she only played MMOs) and only ever encouraged me in life. She was hands down the kindest woman I have ever met, had a PhD in Criminology and spent weekends working for the church. She was an incredible person. So 2006 was an impossibly difficult time in my life, and I often contemplated suicide.
    Coming home every day with no mom in my house was crushing. But one day coming home from another horrible day at school, my (now) brother in law, with his PC next to mine, told me to come play a game of surf with him. I had no idea what he was talking about, and he had just discovered it that day. When I first played, it was egypt. It was impossible. “How could anyone do this?”, I thought. I got so frustrated, but addicted at the prospect of getting it right and getting closer and closer every time. Eventually we became really good and we were having so much fun. Every single day I couldnt WAIT to get home so we could surf together.
    Obviously the pain of my mother passing was never entirely gone, but your surf maps and the game mode at large helped me cope in a time Id rather have died. Thank you so much, Charlie. And happy birthday.

      I'm really sorry for your loss and I know how inappropriate this question is considering the context, but I always wanted to ask someone from the southern hemisphere this question: I noticed that you put "summer holiday" in exclamation marks. My question now is, do you guys down there consider "your" summer to be the actual summer or not? When you hear the word "summer", do you think of December to February or of July to September?

      Hello, i'm from Argentina. As someone from the Southern Hemisphere, i think of summer as the months between late November and the first week/two weeks of March. It was always incredibly confusing to me that Christmas and the decorations around Christmas; what was considered "Christmassy" were built around snow and winter in general, since here Christmas happens in Summer. If you told me what i think of the word "Verano"(summer) off the top of my head, i'd say being in a pool in a hot, clear day of December. Cheers!

    Came back to watch this vid after i forgot about it and it popped up in my "Recommended" feed. I remember back in i'd say 2013 when i first started playing CS, and especially when i first started to do surfing maps. My buddy from high school brought me into a Surf RPG server and i had no idea what I was doing. After countless hours and finally getting the hang of it, it stuck to me and I still play surf to this day whenever i feel down and just wanna talk to people and have a fun time. So Mariowned, if you see this [Even though its been a year since the Video's release] I honestly thank you from the bottom of my heart man. The amount of good times I've had and the people I've met through this gamemode has seriously changed my life. Crazy to see how far it's come and the following it has and even crazier for me to say that I met long lasting friends that i still talk to till this day. You're always going to be a legend in my book.

    I used to work as a net cafe attendant in our shop. CS:GO is installed on the timer PC to keep ourselves entertained while we are at our post. But due to the fact that I prioritize customers more than the game, I don't play competitive in order for me not to have a fixed focus.
    I casually play Surf maps which kept me occupied for shifts. I leave them be when a customer comes in to pay their usage fees on their rented PC and get back to my idle post, which is surfing.
    Surf maps made my shifts most of the time. I just wanted to thank Mariowned for the invention of surf maps.

    I’ve been surfing on KSF. One of the largest surfing communities with the best surfers around. I started surfing in 2012 just for fun and started doing it competitively in 2016 and got my first world record the same year (surf_amateur_v2b) and kept going till the point where i reached top 10 in the entire world and having over 29 map records. I don’t think i wouldve been the same without surfing. I have always wanted to know if mariowned knows about KSF since its a very obscure side of surf generally speaking but id love to be able to talk to him one day. Much love from KSF

      That's insanely impressive! I hear about KSF all the time, and I shout you guys out when people ask about good surfers. I play KSF videos on stream because the runs are so crazy. A huge thanks to the KSF community for taking surfing to new heights, literally.

    Thanks for creating surf, mariowned.
    It's been a great long ride and I've had plenty of fun with surf.
    Built my own clan and community that was around for about 10 years (Nightmare-Surf Clan/Community). Lately I'm mostly only following all the surf-channels, watching the newest records and newest maps created. Every once in a while I end up trying a map myself.
    It's amazing that even within the "surf-mod" different kind of surf methods evolved.
    - skillsurf (nowadays mostly "wr-surf")
    - tricksurf
    - combatsurf
    There's even different maps for all of those. Like I said it was a fun ride and I want to thank everyone who has been a part of it.
    Not only mariowned for creating it, but all the people I met along the way and all the people who improved, added and contributed to surf in varios ways, such as creating maps, working on new surf-mods or creating "wr-surf" servers, tricksurf servers and so on.
    Thanks. :)

      So nicely put, Adrian! You took the words out of my mouth. I try to make sure I'm not the only person thanked for surfing. So many people have helped progress surfing to what it is today, and I am so thankful for you and everyone else. Thanks for everything, cheers! 💜

    Thank you for your contribution to my childhood, Mariowned. I grew up playing surf and combat surf maps, alongside mg, jb, bhop, some kz, ze, zm and dm servers for cs:s in my youth and that wouldn't have happened if you never made your discovery. Thank you for the memories you helped create. I love you man, buon fortuna mio amico

    This guy basically defined my childhood Summers. I spent countless hours on surf_ski_2, ended up mastering the map to an insane degree, and though I know he didn't make that map, I have to thank him for the whole genre.

    I am kind of late, but I also like to thank him. I had a kind of troubling childhood and some of my earliest and funnest memories come from surfing games, even if was very bad at them and extremely introvert.I think I started surfing around 2008 when I was 13, so thanks again for the awesome time.

    Surfing was so huge in my life! My father was kind enough to make me a RPG Surf server in CSS. We had a full server every day and I felt like I belonged to something growing up. It got me into map making myself and I made a couple Surf maps as well as some other mini game maps. Thank you for being such a huge part of my life, even if it is indirectly. I still avidly play CS and am considering getting back into mapaking. Thanks again and I hope you are doing well sir.
