The Cellar - View Single Post - Sept 30th, 2019 : Stone Casting, Throwing, Skipping

I have always liked to skip rocks (the term stones is OK , but skimming sounds illegal).
Wikipedia says the record is 88 skips and 121.8 meters, almost certainly not the same throw or thrower.
I think that the best skipper should be a major league side-arm or submarine pitcher (think Kent Tekulve and Dan Quisenberry). Or maybe Nolan Ryan with a little practice.

One of the sad ways of the world is that when you find the perfect skipping rock, you almost never find it for a second throw.
