Stone skipping
Stone skipping is the pastime of throwing a flat stone across water in such a way that it bounces off the surface, preferably many times. The object of the game is to see how many times a stone can bounce before sinking.
==Championships and records==
The North American Stone Skipping Association (NASSA), founded by Coleman-McGhee, in 1989 and based in Driftwood, Texas, sanctioned world championships for four years from 1989 through 1992 in Wimberley, Texas. The next official NASSA World Championships is expected to be held at Platja d'en Ros beach in Cadaqués, Catalonia, Spain.
The world record according to the ''Guinness Book of Records'' is 88 skips by Kurt "Mountain Man" Steiner, age 48. The cast was achieved on September 6, 2013〔http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/1/most-skips-of-a-skimming-stone〕 at Red Bridge in the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania. The previous record was 65 skips, by Max Steiner, set at Riverfront Park, Franklin, Pennsylvania. Before him, the record was 51 skips, set by Russell Byars on July 19, 2007, skipping at the same location. Kurt Steiner also held the world record between 2002 and 2007.
A stone skipping championship of a different nature takes place every year in Easdale, Scotland, where distance is measured as opposed to number of skips, as tends to be the case outside the US.〔(Scots dominate in stone skimming. BBC News, 25 September 2005 )〕 Since 1997, competitors from all over the world have taken part in the World Stone Skimming Championships in a disused quarry on Easdale Island,〔(World Stone Skimming Championships 2007 )〕 using stones made from Easdale slate. Historical results are available on www.stoneskimming.com. Dougie Isaacs (Scotland) won the title again in 2015, making him the champion with the most world titles in the competition's history (7).Other current title holders include Lucy Wood (England) World Ladies ;〔http://www.stoneskimming.com/results/index.htm〕 Coerd de Heer (Netherlands), European; Jolien Eshuis (Netherlands) European Ladies; Kevin Waltham (England), All England; Emily Ostridge (England), All England Ladies; Tim Wright (England), Wales Open.
