Club boat
The four rigid kayaks (single-seater) used by the Hayama Sea Kayak Club - Hiyori, buddy, buddy+, and Luana - are SENTOM kayaks, a brand of builder Toyoshima, who has 37 years of boatbuilding experience, built in his workshop in Ise-Shima. Each kayak is carefully handcrafted with the hope that everyone will have a safe and enjoyable time. These sea kayaks are the kind of companions you can ride with confidence, even after 10 or 20 years.

Kayak members' comments
Here are some comments from Kayac members
Asakura-san and Shiraishi-san
Starting courseI've always wanted to try some kind of ocean sport, so I decided to take part in a sea kayaking introductory course. Once I got used to it, I was able to paddle more smoothly than I expected, and it was a lot of fun, as I felt a sense of unity with the ocean. The instructor was also very kind, so I was able to enjoy myself without any worries.
Sato-san
Kayaking experience courseI decided to participate because I wanted to have fun in nature. I can't swim so I was a little worried, but the instructions were easy to understand and I was able to paddle better than I expected. Even though I came to kayak, I was also able to play on the rocks, and the sea was beautiful and fun.
Uemura-san
Kayaking experience courseI'm a windsurfer, but I was looking for something fun to do on windless days. I went on a tour to see sea turtles in Maui, and got into sea kayaking for the first time, so I decided to try it again and took part in the trial course. The water in Hayama is clean, and unlike windsurfing, it's a relaxed experience, so I'd like to try it again on a clearer day.
Yamamoto-san
Kayak Club MembersI had been thinking about buying a kayak for the past year, but was worried about safety, so I decided to come to the school first. I loved it so much that I joined the club that same day. I come to ride in my spare time from work, take part in schools and tours, and recently started sailing.
Mr. and Mrs. Iwasaki
Kayaking experience courseAfter moving to Chigasaki, I thought I'd like to try some marine sports. But I didn't think surfing was the best, so I invited my husband to try sea kayaking after seeing it in a magazine. We were amazed at how clear the water was, and we could see the fish, so I think I'll get hooked. (Wife) I thought sea kayaking would be easy, but it was surprisingly deep, so I'd like to learn it properly. (Husband)
Hottasan
Kayaking experience courseWhen my child moved to Hayama, I saw him paddle a sea kayak for the first time and it looked like a great experience. I wondered if he was old enough to try it, but when he tried it, the view of the land from the sea was so refreshing that I wanted to try it again.
Takeyama-san
Kayaking experience courseI do a little surfing, but I thought sea kayaking, which allows you to go on long trips, would be fun, so I joined the trial course. At first, I was worried that I might sink, but once I got out into the sea, it was very stable and didn't seem like it would tip over at all, so I was able to enjoy it without worry.
