Stone Skimming Official World Record!! | Dougie Isaacs | 121.8m (400ft)!!

Taken from our documentary 'Sink or Skim' for BBC Scotland.

It's not as easy you might think to film a world record throw like this! A scaffolding tower in a lake and a very talented cameraman were essential to the process!

The applause you hear for stone skimming is much like the same one you hear for golf, with some minor differences.

[ObSliF]

i got like 12 once, basically the same as this

[cheeseymccheese]

Perfect approach, perfect rock. Well done, I thought i was good but he goes double of what i can do

[sanujawijesiriwardana]

Awsome stuff brother really appreciate it!!! Man

[gerardovenegas]

Once I got like 8 skips! It felt like a world record...

[RockSkippingPro]

Epic skip! I wonder what the velocity and spin rate of that rock was

[Growing_Payne]

Haha perfect day to wear a “The Stone Roses: Made of Stone” shirt

Counted about 50 skips could be anywhere between 40-80 depending how you define a skip and if you really slow it down

[paffboy]

Are they using real stones or specific plates?

[scottat]

I can't believe this is a thing. But I'm glad it is.

[dallenishere]

My best rock skip is 14 my average amount is like 5 but when I mess up it's like 3

[dulstrik]

I'd probably do pretty well at this if I could ever find the right stone for once in my life! 😡

[theheretic]

The second time it plays the applause sounds like a crowd booing and a group of horses trotting on a paved road.

[TheInsanitor]

I can sometimes get mine to skip twice... I'm somewhat of a Pro myself.

[johndoexyz]

How in the world does daily dose of internet find all those clips?

[mrcaboosevg]

The right stone is half the battle, technique is the other half although you can get most of the way on the latter part easily

[supravamondal]

This vedio is very amazing and beautiful.
