How to Surf in Counter Strike Source

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Download a Surf map.

   You can join any Surf server to play, but setting up a practice map will make it easy to get used to surfing without any other players looking.
   
   You can find Surf maps online by searching for "cs source surf maps." Make sure you download Surf maps for CS:
   Source.
   
   Maps for other versions of Counter-Strike will not work.
   
   Look for maps designed for beginners or practice, as these will have more forgiving ramps and easier routes so that you can get the hang of the surfing mechanics.
