Questions & AnswersHi! This is Carmen Conde for Expert Village, and I'm going to show you how to skip stones. The first you've got to know about skipping stones is choosing the right rock. This is very important. The second thing you have to know about skipping stones is the proper technique for throwing the stone so it actually skips on the water. Once you have chosen the proper stone, position it in your hand to ensure a proper grip. This is achieved by placing your thumb on the top side of the stone and wrapping your index finger around the perimeter. Make sure that the proper force is exerted through the wrist to make sure the stone spins. This helps it bounce off the water surface. When you're going to skip a stone you need to position your body the right way. This means going down about a 30 degree angle the throwing the stone the way I showed you like this. Hi! This is Carmen Conde for Expert Village, and thank you for skipping stones with me.
