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.
