Kurt Steiner set the world record for skipping stones by hurling a rock at the water and making it skip an astonishing 88 times. How is that even possible? WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez got coaching from Steiner to find out how he does it -- and looked into fluid dynamics and physics to see whether we've reached the limit for skipping stones

at my birthday party i was skimming stones in a swimming hole, and one of them went real fast real straight and real high then i noticed it was headed towards a kid and i was like oh SH-T! but then it landed like what looked like ( i was pretty far) 10 cm behind him and it sunk down he turned around wondering what it was and didn't suspect a thing.
i got so lucky that day.

I love to pause and look at the angle on his shoulder lol. That's not healthy at all, that's why my arm always hurts when I go stone skipping. Funny to see it on another and better person doing the arm jiggle look so weird lol.

11: 15 No. It's more. You're basically the Avatar at this point; You're doing the dance of Earth, water, air, AND fire, since movement means heat. It is a honor to witness a real avatar bender in action.

-professional stone skipper- there's a profession for everything in the world. I know this because I'm a professional apple pie and vanilla ice cream eater

Form and technique. Should do a show on some top MLB pitchers and have them try the throws since they have the power and speed.

Blue-chip submariner reliever right there, fellows. Let's hope the Yankees don't draft him; shame to lose that beard.

I wonder what happens if you have the rock covered in Hydrophobic material, how would it change the results?

I lihe the fact that his technique seems kinda goofy, like he should be rubbish, but then he holds the record

What would be cool is if a uniform skipping disc came out so it could be in the Olympics or something like that
