if you are new keep in mind that the attempt and completion average is based only on surfers that can complete the maps so it's likely going to take way more time and attempts for a beginner to complete those maps
I always recommend surf_beginner as a good first map.. and surf_rookie as a map to learn gradually harder stages even though they likely won't beat it at first. And even surf_lt_omnific first 6 stages are very good for beginners as it teaches you some basic things in surf which can be very helpful to apply to other maps.
Only real comment I have is on something you mention at the end of the video, that you should stick to t1 and 2 maps until you can complete them in a few minutes before moving to t3. I don't agree with this thinking, even if it takes you 30 minutes to beat t2's, if you can beat several of them it's worth trying t3's. I really don't think people should be waiting until they can beat t2's blind in just a few minutes before moving on.
@@Flop1999 I have to disagree with that. If you're trying to improve, you should play outside of your comfort zone because harder maps force you to learn the proper way instead of wasting time smacking all t2 ramps over and over again.
ngl, I should watch your other content so much more than I do. Each one is a treat.... and I should probably learn the fundamentals. I've learned a lot surfing on my own, but I forgor turnbinds existed. That would make things easier.
im surprised mesa and utopia didnt get mentioned, those two are like THE classic surf maps and personally id recommend utopia over progress in terms of difficulty
@@ThomasEdits i dont see how recommending mesa and utopia is "getting it wrong", id recommend those two maps to anyone learning surf because theyre very easy maps you can mess up on and still complete. theyre both some of the most played maps of all time for a reason
progress teaches a lot more than utopia which is sort of why it was in the video, its a fair bit harder than some of the other maps but it's supposed to be the "end" goal of beginner knowledge and a good milestone, utopia can't supply that in the same way
This video seemed to do on the good side of average, I wonder if you could reuse the format but for intermediate so people have and idea what t2 maps they should try first. (then t3 -> t4 if you find yourself out of ideas one week)
funny to see surf_mom_fix on this list. mom_fix was 5th last map I completed out of all tier1 maps (around 120maps). I spent multiple hours on that last stage...
Hey repster. Im currently trying to grind to rank up. Whats the best strat? Ive been going back to maps that ive already played and getting groups and fully completing them. Than once im done doing it to every map ill try new one's.
First of all make sure you're having fun! Don't burn out or stress too much about getting better. In order it would be - 1. Learn to use saveloc 2. Learn to use Turnbinds 3. Focus on the highest tier maps you can (t4, t5, t6) The only problem with groups is that your movement isnt restricted. You might be doing something badly and not know it. Higher tier maps force you to learn it.
Thanks to them making CS:GO broken it's impossible for me to play some of these maps as there are no servers hosting them and surf doesn't work offline. Well done Valve
you should join an empty surf server and !nominate surf_leet_xl_beta7z, then rtv to change the map the map might not be on right now, but any empty server will likely have it
(e: THERE WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING) hey repster, that list is really nice for linear maps, but a stage map with hundred t1 stages don't become harder than a stage map with one t1 stage (that is=linear), or do I misunderstand something, the list only includes the attempts of the hardest stage at each stage map?
I honestly don't know how ksf spit out the "avg attempts" stat, but I tried to test it with Anubis. It SHOULD be the average of attempts across all stages. So if last takes 100 attempts and first takes 1, avg ~50. If u don't have access to the doc I can DM it to you, maybe u can take a look.
@@Repster hmmmmm, yeah, i tried to figure it out before, i remember it as i couldnt find the information in the doc. but i concluded it by intuition because, as you see, 24 maps out of 25 are linear on that list (and the only stage map ofc. only has 3 stages). seems very strange, frankly! i can see explanations. the obvious one is that the oldest maps are linear, but there are many new maps on that list too, hmmmmm, might be wrong
@@Repster Sorry, I misunderstood something. It's because I looked at your list 0:05 and that is the list of only linear maps. But I have seen the document now. I believe you are right that that is how it is measured (but there is no information about it), though that is still a problematic way to measure it, for example, sinsane b4 don't become easier regardless of how many t1 stages you beat before it. But I won't go into detail since it is has never meant to perfect either, but just a rough indicator and as such it does a fine job. But I wish it explained what "Fetch Staged/Linear" means.
You should first look for an empty surf server (just type surf_ in the map section.) Then, join a server, do !nominate surf_xyz, and type rtv in chat. Then vote for the map of your choice and it should take you there! Otherwise, just play any map you like, as this was just a guide for very beginner surfers.
unfortunately I never use the workshop/offline maps, they lack the necessary plugins and map fixes. you should hop on to an empty server and play there! (or use gamebanana)
Wanna know how i got decent at surf? no? well to bad I'm telling you anyways I played surf stoneworks4 for 10 hours straight on a Saturday and completed it
how2surf and year3000 for me are the most obvious ones apart from these. then obviously mesa and beginner. after than both rebels. summit an andromeda better than boreas imho to learn at least. then reytx, deoa, garden, rookie, beyond and colum up and 2. het and surf_n_turf are also fun but challenging for new people. for the easiest tier2s: benevolent, classics, premium, orthodox, oasis, boring, lore, summer syria and ethereal more or less. old non unit staged maps are the best to start grinding. cuz fuck unit.
out of your t2s id personally remove classics, oasis and boring. classics is very long and dated with some stages newer players will probably get stuck on. oasis has that one antigrav section with the holes which is a pain in the ass to do consistently. boring is extremely frustrating and feels harder than it actually is. out of all of those i think benevolent, orthodox and lore are the best

I was clickbaited by surf_summer.
we all were
surf summer is a solid map to learn on though. t1 for a lot of it and a solid variety of movements and fundamentals.
Surf_mom s5 was a huge challenge for me at the beninning - I''d have loved to have this guide! Nice one!
ty bro i just came over this play list and i managed to finish my first 2 maps
Top 5 maps you have played so much you change server until its done
I always recommend surf_beginner as a good first map.. and surf_rookie as a map to learn gradually harder stages even though they likely won't beat it at first. And even surf_lt_omnific first 6 stages are very good for beginners as it teaches you some basic things in surf which can be very helpful to apply to other maps.
Would love a follow up video on recommended maps at each tier for each style of surf for people to push their progression
Repster : surf's community goat
surf_tendies not listed
video disliked, unsubbed, and reported
truuuuu
anubis is the best map to learn if your new! its a nice smooth map,
thx repster ill be sure to check these maps out :3
Lol
can you spec me and tell me what im doing wrong?
I agree mostly but i remember finding surf_mom v difficult as a beginner.

I'd say if it takes 30 min to beat a t2, u should improve that time on the t2 b4 trying to complete a higher teir

whats the point of holding space on some

4:26 "Once you are able to beat surf_progress, you are probably better than 90% of surfers in history."
LMAO
prob true if you think how many people play hugely populated t1 servers only and never even see a t2..

I just surfed Surf_Leet last night for the first time, super fun map
Thanks to them making CS:GO broken it's impossible for me to play some of these maps as there are no servers hosting them and surf doesn't work offline. Well done Valve
Honestly my surf experience was just playing Utopia over and over until I could beat it in a minute lol
great vid repster
Hate how surf progress is also a linear and I can’t reset :(
i need to play on servers because in privat i only stop on the ramp
on the cs2 workshop dosen't exist surf progress
Can you still play surf progress? Couldnt find 1 server
The maps aren’t showing up when I search surf_leet so I not sure what to do
you should join an empty surf server and !nominate surf_leet_xl_beta7z, then rtv to change the map
the map might not be on right now, but any empty server will likely have it
when i write surf there i literaly cant find almost any surf servers for somereason
what region are you in?
you can also just try gflclan.com or surfheaven.eu

Surf air control is so bad I keeping randomly losing my speed
What is the spine of a ramp?
looking in the top right cant see anything
yeah but the problem is it doesn't show the maps i search up
Ye if the specific map is not on its just unlucky, although if u find an open server you can /nominate the map and rtv
@@Repster i searched surf_beginner and didn't find i am new to csgo though do i have to type xplay/surf_beginner
also doing /nominate didn't work it just said it was an unknown command
i cannot connect by ur process bro
Where are these servers at
Why do you hold space at while you surf?
Bad habit lol.
where is the list with the map average completion time?
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UuUM4_3v85u38pPHN1jcX0TjN7AoI4isoSYaQZxogQA/edit#gid=0
surf_mom was so hard when i started out, great map though
Why are you holding spacebar? Are you playing on an autobhop server?!
ye most servers are auto now, but its also a bad habit from playing bhop
@Repster What, really?! Even KSF is auto bhop?
@@NytronX oh that im not sure, it think it depends on the map?
lots of spines on KSF are auto
cs2/csgo is mostly auto tho
how do u not show the knife
i toss them away with G, or do r_drawviewmodel 0 if ur offline surfing
What is the map in the thumbnail??
surf_summer!
what was the map in outro?
surf_globalchaos (t3)
How do I get into the surf?
through counter strike source or CSGO, in the "community tab"
roblox also has a very good surf alternative, many top players came from there
Thought Rookie might of made an appearance!
i have a question, i cant find any surf maps not even including these in video, im probably doing something wrong ig.
can somebody help me? :D
