 ===== Most Lipps? =====
-Paddlers in Bellingham Washington refer to "Lipps" or "Lipp Units". One Lipp means staying on a run during a downwinder without paddling for 30 seconds. See [[:terminology#eponyms_related_to_surfskisdownwinding|Lipp Unit]]. As far as we know paddlers haven't paid a ton of attention to how long their paddle-free runs extend, but it may be worth paying some attention to, particularly if you can incorporate and optimize all of the techniques that allow you to maintain and extend runs as efficiently as possible. Boyan Zlatarev at the Surfski Center in [[:tarifa|Tarifa]] probably pays more attention to these extended runs than most because that efficiency and extraction of as much free energy as one can get from downwind waves is a particular passion and focus in both his paddling and his instruction.

See [[:terminology#eponyms_related_to_surfskisdownwinding|Lipp Unit]]. As far as we know paddlers haven't spent a lot of time comparing with each other how long their paddle-free runs extend, but it may be worth paying more attention, particularly if you can incorporate and optimize all of the techniques that allow you to maintain and extend runs as efficiently as possible.

+It should also be mentioned that it is not a coincidence that the first videos gathered for this page came from the [[:hood_river_columbia_gorge|Gorge]] and [[:tarifa|Tarifa]]. Some locations, often those that do **not** have **much long distance (ground) swell**, are obviously better set up for continuous rides. The **length and frequency** of **paddle down runs** is probably another worthwhile **differentiator of paddling conditions** in different locations.
