While it may look complicated, surfing in Apex Legends is quite easy. To perform this new movement tech, first, you need characters such as Octane or Pathfinder. Now, look for a tilted surface that you cannot stand on. When you have found a surface with identical attributes, all you have to do is launch yourself towards the tilted surface from the side.

After launching yourself toward the surface, you must press the movement button that keeps you from falling down. For example, when surfing or attempting to surf, if the lower part of the tilted surface is on the left, you must hold the right movement key, which is ‘D’ by default, to ensure you keep surfing on the surface.

Horizon is another character who can easily perform this new movement tech. However, she needs an Octane in her team to do so since Horizon cannot launch herself onto any tilted surfaces.
