The Stone Skipping Record Has Been Broken

An American man has thrown a stone that skipped in the water an incredible 51 times.

The Guinness Book of Records has confirmed that Russell "Rock Bottom" Byars is the new record holder. Officials from Guinness looked at a video of Byars' throw.

The stone traveled 76 meters in the water.

"I actually threw 40 stones that day, but that was the first skip that I threw," Byars said.

The previous record was 40 skips.
