It's like tossing raw eggs, or not. :)

Wife and I used to conclude our day-time dates with a round of stone-skipping at the beach. Still do, occasionally.

We've also spent some time skipping stones into the Sea of Galilee in Israel - that was pretty cool.

Kids today have no idea how to make their own fun.

Imagine setting a world record with one of your best stones only to realize that you just threw it away.......

[Tennessee Nana]

Slow news day?

[Larry Lucido]

Expensive pastime. Rocks are at a premium these days.

I was fortunate enough to see my dad and a handful of his friends doing this on many an occasion - he patiently tried to teach me but I only got the magic to happen maybe 4-5 times out of 1000s. :(

After Kurt graduated from Behrend, he earned money delivering flowers for his mom and laying bitumen roofs. But he couldn’t face regular work, and eventually he registered for unemployment. Doctors refused to prescribe talk therapy, and for the general sense of depression that would later be refined to diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, he was given only Zoloft, an antidepressant, which he sometimes supplemented with recreational psychoactive drugs. During one week in 1994, he couldn’t get his prescription filled and got into a store argument that involved the police.
...
Skipping was “safe from development and capitalism, and in control,” he told me, at odds with a society that seemed “hell-bent on detaching itself from the natural world.”

Maybe it was a slow news day.

It reads like a life (or lives of all named in the story) wasted by drugs and Leftist mind-screw.

My best is 15.

After a while it becomes habit forming. Every time I pass a body of water I automatically start looking for a rock. My wife helps me find them too, even though she doesn’t throw them. True love. :)

Never mind the boo-birds.

I enjoyed the article. Nice break from all the negative news these days.

Thanks for posting !

Local river rocks are shale fragments, flattish but angular. The corners dig into the water; six jumps is rare.

I try to teach the next generation, but angular rocks are not encouraging.

Chuck Norris would,win easily, skipping a stone from the Atlantic to the Pacific with no problem.

He’s so tough he only needs one chess piece when playing chess too

[printhead]

This activity will raise the level of the seas.

I am an expert stone skipper.

My personal best is 33 skips in one throw

Walnut Bottoms, Big Creek, Great Smokey Mountains National Park

For 56, he looks terrible.

The EPA will make a new ruling immediately to stop it.

Smith River California. Family camp trips . Had some good rocks for skipping, We were actually more impressed by stones that would turn a bit and create a rooster tail.

There was quite a bit of pumice there from Crater Lake/Mount Mazama. Throw a large chunk of that in then commence shore bombardment before it floated away.

[LambSlave]

23 skips is the most I’ve ever got; broke 20 quite a bit, but could never get much past that.

Nice guy. He used to live a few blocks away from me for years. I wondered where he moved to.
