Overview
A guide teaching you the basics of surfing
Surfing
___ v This shape is the ramp
A / D = The movement keys, or left and right movement
The basics of surfing are very simple when it comes down to it. My terrible diagram above shows the basics. If you are on the left side of the ramp you press D and nothing else and you will surf along it. On the right side you would hold the A key into the ramp.
Mouse control is important and pretty much needed for you to surf. You should almost never need to press W or S while surfing, and so controlling your direction while in the air is a simple matter of retaining speed from a ramp while moving your mouse to control where you turn.
It’s very hard to actually explain surfing as it’s something you simply learn over time and get a feel for. However the basics should help you get on the way. You need to keep practicing with surf and soon it will become incredibly easy.
