crespiNot_MatlockI've never played a surf map. It's always impressive to watch this stuff, but I never found them as interesting as jump maps just because it's isn't a practical skill that you can use in normal games like rocket jumping is.
What about conditioning your sensitivity, as in becoming more comfortable and precise with your mouse movement, and your player model movement? What about air strafing?
Of course you can't learn to play tf2 by surfing but I think that saying there is nothing useful to come from it is a bit short sighted.
Edit: I just realized how old this post is.
Surfing is one of the best ways to 'smooth out' your game. I'm not even good at surfing but just getting good enough to beat impossibly easy maps like utopia and derpis can make your aim much smoother. Most people don't realize how comfortable you can be with your mouse. Surfing can definitely teach you that.

I'd say I'm pretty good at surfing and all I can say is that if you use a lower sensitivity it gets you really used to your entire mousepad. Whether that helps your aim/gameplay I'm not really sure.
Shameless Tip of the Hats promo: Saturday, at 11:00pm EST MIKE and Raiin (two of the best surfers, period) will race the map shown in OP's video, surf_omnific. They may also do another difficult map if time allows for it. Jumping with top level Demoman and Soldier jumpers will also occur the next day at 6:00pm EST.
