How to Skip Rocks
- 1). Select a rock that's round, flat and smooth.
- 2). Stand at the edge of a large, placid body of water.
- 3). Hold the rock horizontally - flat side down - with your index finger curling around one edge.
- 4). Aim the rock. Envision a convex arc a few inches above the water.
- 5). Throw the rock low and parallel to the water's surface. Throw sidearm so that your hand travels past your waist and the rock travels horizontally across the water.
- 6). Release the rock with a snap of the wrist to give it a horizontal spin. Your elbow will be next to your hip as the rock leaves your hand.
- 7). Count the number of times the rock skips.
