Structured into tiers of difficulty, a huge variety of surf maps are available through the Steam Workshop, ranging from Tier 1 beginner levels to Tier 6 expert levels.
Unlike the physics you're used to experiencing in CS:GO, it's ramped up a notch in surf maps which enables plays to smoothly skim across various surfaces. These maps challenge players to traverse (or technically, 'air-strafe') combinations of ramps and obstacles as they glide along them, requiring perfectly timed jumps and turns to reach the end of each course. Surf maps have been a huge part of the Counter-Strike franchise for years, having provided the community with a very different experience when compared to the usual Casual, Deathmatch and Competitive offerings which have become staples in CS:GO. CS:GO surfing guide explains beginner and advanced tips on how to surf, as well as details of how to play surf maps from the Workshop.
