Oceans aren’t the best locations to skip rocks unless it’s a very calm day.
Bring rocks that you find around your home if you’re worried about looking for rocks near the water. Experiment with different thicknesses and weights to see what kind of rock works best for you.
Make sure your thumb is on top of the rock rather that wrapped around it.
Take your time with the backswing and follow through the first time you try skipping rocks. Over time, you’ll be able to skip rocks in one fluid motion.
Rocks skip across the water because they form a cavity when they first impact the surface. The flat bottom of the rock rides along the angle of the cavity, sending it airborne again so it can skip.

Practice makes perfect!
