There's no wrong way to play, but this is how we typically do it

  • Objective

    • Skip the ball into the opponent's net
    • Each ball made into the net is a point
    • First to 7 points wins

  • Setup

    • Water depth: waist deep
    • Distance between nets: 10 yards
    • Net height: about 1 foot above the water surface
    • Utilize telescoping twist to extend/collapse pole to desired height
    • Push bottom of pole deep into the sand. If water is rough, it may take a few waves and readjustments to allow the pole to set itself in the sand
    • If more stability is needed, unscrew the stake from the bottom of the net, and screw it back in with the stake pointing out. This will add 6 inches of depth into the sand

  • How to Play

    • 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2
    • Standing beside or behind your net, throw the ball towards the opponent's net
    • Ball must skip on the water at least once before landing in the opponent's net
    • Opponent must not interfere with the ball in flight in front of their net

  • Tips & Strategy

    • Aim the ball to hit the water roughly 75-80% of the distance to your opponent's net
    • Play the waves and current for higher skips
    • Throw hard! Soft tosses won't skip as well

  • Spice It Up!

    • Ball in one hand, drink in the other :)
    • "Spot" rule: you must throw your ball from where you pick up your opponent's last shot. Try to stop/block your opponent's missed shot from getting too far away!
    • Take drink for every shot your opponent makes
    • A ball that skyps twice on the water and makes it in the net is worth 2 points!
