1

Each contestant collects a handful of flat stones from the shore.

2

Stand at the water's edge and throw a stone sidearm, low and level over the surface.

3

Spin the stone with a flick of the wrist as it releases to help it skip rather than sink.

4

Count the number of times the stone bounces off the water before it sinks.

5

Give each contestant the same number of throws and record their best skip count.

6

The contestant with the highest skip count from their best throw wins.
