Controversy at Professional Stone Skipping Contest

Tuesday, 02 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Most of us skip stones for fun. But a group of serious stone skippers exists, says the Wall Street Journal, and nothing rankles them more than “non-regulation” rocks. The latest dustup is at America’s oldest stone skipping competition, which is held every July 4th on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Purists believe that the rocks used should be sourced locally and are outraged that more and more competitors have been importing rocks to compete with in recent years.
