Good luck to these two lads competing in the inaugural https://2026-aotearoa-stone-skimming-championships.raiselysite.com/ on Saturday.

Cinema Paradiso is thrilled to sponsor these two lads in their quest to see which brother can skim the furthest. Will it be Ben - armed with mathematical precision and calculated technique, or Olly, riding the effortless confidence that only a second-born boy can exude? We honestly can't wait to find out.

The fundraising link is below if you'd like to show your support for this wonderful way to bring awareness to skim for a cause supporting Melanoma New Zealand.
