Stone skipping and stone skimming are the arts of throwing a flat stone across water, usually with a sidearm motion, so that it bounces off the surface rather than sinking. The two are distinguished by what is measured: skipping counts how many times the stone bounces, while skimming measures the distance the stone travels before it stops.
