| 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 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. 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 free energy** from downwind waves is a particular passion and focus in both his paddling and his instruction. | Paddlers in Bellingham Washington refer to "**Lipps**" or "**Lipp Units**".

| - | 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 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. | + | 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]].
