New Zealand's first stone-skimming championship
Richie Laming is an experience and education manager at Lake Hawea station. He's also a seasoned stone skimmer. Richie is involved in the organisation of New Zealand's first national stone-skimming championship, taking place at Lake Hawea this May. The event is inspired by Scotland's long-running world championships and aims to raise money and awareness for Melonoma New Zealand. He joins Anna to chat over the fine art of stone-skimming and the recipe for a perfect skim (it's actually quite complex).
