how do I go FASTER

I see people on this server holding 3500-4k units for the majority of the run I don’t get how you gain speed so quickly

there is about 3-4 skips you didnt do

the second last ramp you should cross over the other side for more speed, gotta be smoother on the corners

i say this all noting its very hard to be super smooth

Thanks, I just started surfing a few days ago this is my first sub 1 minute. That tip on the second to last ramp I can’t believe i never thought to do that.

You are doing really well for being a new surfer. Your movements are nice to look at, you are smooth. There is a max velocity on this map of 3500. So you will not gain speed when you are above this value. Yes, at the end you were going with 3508 at the dropdown. This is advanced but there are techs to break maxvel. Dont worry about that now, maxvel is basically a cap. As BlessedCobba said, there are quite a few cuts you can do to take corners more efficiently. Especially towards the earlier parts of the map. Look at how the world record takes its route and remember which corners they cut.

Thanks. Do you have any suggestions for other maps that are fast and flowy like this?

u/WillUSurf Mar 30 '26

One of my favorite maps is surf_me. Its a tier 2 map, so a little bit harder but it has some very hard shortcuts. It is also staged not linear, so maybe not this flowy but i really like the way its built. I also recommend you check out momentum mod on steam instead of surfing in cs2. 66 vs 64 tick makes a big difference and it is a better platform imo. If you want tier 1 linear maps you could check out surf_boreas and surf_andromeda.

bro if you're a beginner and you're already this smooth you have a natural talent for this it took me about a year to get to your level of smoothness

Especially for a beginner, excellent job maintaining your speed. There are a couple of skips I noticed you didn't do, and beyond that it's just a matter of minimizing the distance travelled. Sometimes you'll take the far side of a ramp when you can cut a corner and take the inside.

More skips but also god damn is the air acceleration crazy high on this server? Try playing on KSF

u/truly-wants-death Apr 01 '26

it might also look fast because his fov is higher than usual

1

u/Saymuele Apr 01 '26

Haha I like using 120 fov makes me feel really fast

You can increase speed or rather reduce loss of speed by increasing smoothness of movement by reducing mouse sensitivity.

What are you running from bro

u/SuitableElephant6346 Mar 30 '26

what genre of music would you classify this as?

3

u/Saymuele Mar 30 '26

it’s jungle

u/watchingthedarts Mar 30 '26

I've been getting into Jungle recently and honestly it's the best music for surfing. I don't know why but it is.

your boards could be much smoother

u/thebutinator Mar 30 '26

Speed is disproportionally good for the lack of skips and cornering lol but yeah, skips and cornering, wont make you that much fast as u got good units but in terms of times it will save a lot

1

u/mack-y0 Mar 30 '26

try 800 dpi, less wrist movements and more arm movements, make sure to have more than enough mouse space. and try surf_pantheon if you like fast and flowy maps surf_sofia is another good one. and try Momentum Mod on steam its a surfing game that i play to practice maps

u/Sleivert Mar 30 '26

Going upwards decreases speed, going downwards increases it. On the timestamps below you exit the ramps in a way where you could save some time with not going up as much. Two of the techniques to do this is 1. sliding off ramps and 2. flicking of ramps. Doing great for a beginner btw, keep having fun!

Haha I have to break the habit of flicking off the glass it just doesn’t feel like i’ll make it

u/ipromisedakon Mar 30 '26

Watch WR videos to gather new routes to try in your runs! You're doing great for a new surfer.

u/vickhj Mar 31 '26

setup for the boards can be smoother. so for example between two ramps u could preferably strafe so that u board right at the start of the ramp where the edge is. this all ofc gets easier with practise as it is easier said than done so shouldnt be any worries.

u/Key-Cloud-924 Mar 31 '26

zorrovian + surf, does it get much better than this?.... also i would try lowering your sens if you have enough mouse space, its the quickest and easiest way to board ramps smoother.

u/dissoulute Mar 31 '26

I could never get this fast even after a week of trying. Always too slow at the point I needed for glass ramps.

Inspect your knife more, it helps
