The key to skipping a good rock is to get down real low with the surface of the water before releasing. You can wind up and throw with a fast even spin as hard as you want, but if the rock hits the water at too sharp or wide of an angle, you're only going to get one huge bounce before you're dead in the water. A bit of a running start, a smooth soaring release, and the most horizontal tragectory is going to give you the best results. Picture yourself as one of those olympic curlers with the cool underhand knee sliding and put your other hand up for style. Yeah, that's how you skip a rock.
