Huh, I didn't even know CS:GO had surfing. I tried looking and found a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7Gsk1Lzfqc

It looks kind of neat. I seem to remember failing at similar stuff way back in Enemy Territory: Return to Castle Wolfenstein days.

The previous edition was already one of the biggest charity events in terms of money raised on Twitch last year. Excited to see at how much theyll end up this time.
