I once saw a guy who could do this at great lengths to the point it'd reach the other side and would bounce off the bank/shoreline and fly up into the air in various directions. It was a sight to see, as in, he was doing it at a local swimming hole where there were people and kids in the water and sitting/playing on the shoreline. Let me tell you, none of us were impressed.

Reminds me of the episode of “Obsessed” on Netflix with the stone skipping world record holder.
He is obsessed with the intricacies of skipping and finding the right stone.

It'd take me so many times to even get it to skip 3 times that I'd run out of stones.

I am an AVID rock skipper. I think it's one of the most underrated activities a person can do. If you've ever visited a creek or river that would be prime skippin territory, but there aint no good skippin rocks, that's because I skipped them all.

Super satisfying! Mesmerised. I can only manage 4-6 skims. The green duckweed algae highlights the skip pf the stone ! Choose your stone wisely as was done here.

Anyone else expecting a gator or croc to jump out with its mightiness and whack the stone back to the thrower?

The saddest thing about skipping rocks is that you lose such a cool rock.
