Raising Funds for Good Causes

The World Stone Skimming Championships is more than a contest, we are a force for good, supporting our local community and charities that work within it. Every stone skimmed, and every ticket bought contributes to making a real difference. This commitment means that the legacy of the Championships extends far beyond the thrill you’ll experience on the day. We’re helping to build a stronger, more vibrant community for all.

Watch Sink or Skim

Easdale is an island blessed with millions of perfect skimming stones after its slate mining industrial past was brought to an abrupt end by a huge storm. Water filled the immense quarries and created the world’s first stone skimming arena.

Sink Or Skim documents the determination and dedication of the competitors, and reveals what it truly takes to come out on top in this unique contest.

It kisses the surface once, twice, thrice, a whisper of contact, leaving rings in its wake that ripple outwards like secrets told to the island. Each skip a tiny victory.
