Watersliding/surfing

I can't waterslide/surf anymore.. And I mean when you just hold in your jump button(and duck if necessary) and slide over the water.

This just doesn't work anymore :/
Any suggestions?

Hold space and strafe. I don't use duck unless there is any obstacle i need to get under, or if the water level is very low. I prefer small quick strafes, and sometimes circlestrafes. If you start waterslide with no speed I do large strafes til I've gained speed.

But imo there can be differences between water and water. Some waters are difficult to do this in, i don't know if its because of the waves or something.

I really can't strafe at all while ducking when watersliding. There's two reasons for that; I can't push all the buttons at the same time, and my keyboard doesn't like it.

This is pointing to what thopa said:

It depends on how deep the water is (i cant remember the depths puppetz i think made a thread about it) if its to low (for standing) you gotta use crouch+jump, if its high enough u can just use space (or ur jump key) (you have to hold space bar idk if thats wut ur doing, but you just need to figure out the depth of the water to see if its necessary to use jump+crouch or just +jump
