BENNINGTON, Vt., - A professional stone skipper shared video of a throw at a Vermont lake that skipped more than a dozen times and appears to reach the opposite shore.
Kurt Steiner, who holds the world record for stone skipping for a 2013 throw that bounced off the water 88 times, posted a video to YouTube showing a recent throw at Lake Paran in Bennington, Vt.
The stone skips more than a dozen times and appears to hit the shore on the opposite side of the lake.
Steiner told Guinness World Records his technique involves finding stones "that weigh between 3-8 ounces... that are very smooth (they don't have to be perfectly round), flat bottoms and are between 1/4-5/16th of an inch thick."

That’s not a lake.
Why isn’t it a lake?

Do professional stone skippers make more money than professional badminton players?

If society doesn’t have it’s stone skippers then we have nothing. Just like models, if we didn’t have models to show us how to wear our clothes people would be walking around wearing their pants on their head, their shirts on their legs and shoes on their hands.

Amateur stone skippers are just called “anchor tossers”.
