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."
Next the Atlantic Ocean.
I am pained to say that the relentless war upon women, led by that contemptible Donald Trump, has even permeated the world of professional stone skippers.
Yes, it is true. Male professional stone skippers do have more earnings than women professional stone skippers.
I am happy to report some light at the end of the tunnel. It seems that male professional stone skippers who have transitioned to women have thus far seen little or no decrease in earnings. Although it is more difficult for them to get a date after tournaments in their new "feminized" states.

But, thanks to entertainment-promoted models of behavior, we do have people wearing pants halfway between their waists and their knees.
Probably because its kind of like:

Where I am from that would be called maybe a ‘pond’ or maybe even a mud hole but never a lake. ;-)
If we put some of our smaller Colorado mountains in any of your largest lakes, you all would have a flood on your hands. LOL
