How to surf in CS:GO
Catch some concrete waves and consider this game as a playground.
Take a break from all the competitive matches and go on a surfing adventure.
Counter-Strike is all about killing enemies as it is a shooting game. But many gamers cant stand limiting themselves in anything, so luckily for everyone, CS:GO offers plenty of other ways to enjoy the game.
Surfing has been in Counter-Strike since its early 1.6 days and it’s probably the most popular custom mode in CS:GO. Suring in Counter-Strike is very different compared to a good, old-fashioned competitive match. These surfing maps challenge players to avoid obstacles and to reach as far as possible, while your hero moves with amazing speed. To put it simply, surfing is fun and it’s satisfying to achieve a perfect run on a surf map. Think of surfing like driving a round a course, it’s basically the same principle.
While surfing may be a nice way to spend time, it may also help players to improve a few aspects of their performance in-game. Successful surfing depends on the player understanding general movement, crosshair placement, and judging speed in relation to distance. Surfing won’t directly improve your aim or game sense, but it can learn you how important it is to make smooth, sweeping motions with the mouse, as jagged movements usually result in you slipping of the side of a ramp. Getting into the habit of using sweeping motions will not only help you on a surf map, but will also be generally useful in competitive matches, particularly if you play with a low sensitivity.
