Surf guide
Build speed along angled ramps, one attempt at a time.
Your first session
- Choose a beginner or low-tier map when listed. Watch a run to learn the route before chasing a time.
- Land on the side of a ramp. Hold the strafe key toward the ramp’s raised side: A when it rises to your left, D when it rises to your right. Steer smoothly with your mouse.
- Avoid holding forward while riding a ramp. Practise controlled turns and reaching the next ramp before trying to go faster.
- Falling is part of learning. Follow the on-screen instructions to restart; maps and server settings can differ.
Surf servers
Snapshots refresh every 30 seconds. Availability can change before you connect. Full servers may refuse a connection; try another or wait for space. An online empty server can be used for practice.

How to connect
Install Counter-Strike 2 and sign in to Steam. Choose Join to ask Steam to launch CS2 and connect. Accept your browser’s prompt to open Steam if shown.
If Steam does not open, use the address copy control in the table. In CS2, enable the developer console in Settings → Game, open it with your console key (usually ~), paste the copied connect command and press Enter.
If copying is blocked, type connect host:port using the address shown in the table. Update CS2 and try another online server if connecting fails.
Read the mode rules before playing, or return to all servers.
