Rock skipping is a recreational activity where a flat stone is thrown across a body of water, causing it to bounce off the surface. The goal is to achieve the maximum number of skips before the stone sinks. The technique involves a flicking motion of the wrist and a low angle of release to create the right spin and trajectory. The ideal stones for skipping are typically smooth and flat, as they glide better on water. Lakes and ponds are common locations for this activity, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Rock skipping is often a fun way to spend time outdoors.
