The top lift is at 1080 m/3543 ft, the bottom lift is at 550 m/1804 ft and the vertical drop is around 530 m/1738 ft. The longest piste is 2.9 km/1.8 mi long and there are over 30 km/18 mi of slopes, in total.
Cairngorm ski resort represents the ideal place for the freestylers who love natural hits. You can find some down the Cas or Fiacaill Ridge, but only sometimes. On the other hand, there is a good variety of reasonable sized kickers, rails and boxes at the Vans terrain park. Beginners are able to take courses in snowboarding, since friendly instructors have the experience to teach them. Bear in mind, that, if you can ride here, you can ride anywhere!
The huge benefit of stand up paddle surfing over regular surfing is that much smaller less steep waves are catchable before they break, and as the boards are much more stable it is easier to pick up. Additionally, as you start in a standing position, there is no popping up onto the SUP, while the paddle can be used for extra stability and drive on the wave.
Camber offers some for stand up paddle surfing with both small and big waves.
