The "FOLBOT OWNERS MEETING" is an event open only to those who own a FOLBOT kayak or SUP.
This was the first time we held such an event.
Although we held the "FOLBOT Meeting" at the same campsite in June 2025, it unfortunately rained. Will we be able to redeem ourselves and find the "Motosuko Blue" this time?! Please read on until the end.

Start of "FOLBOT OWNERS MEETING"!
Saturday, October 4th: Day 1
Opening ceremony kicks off, with luxurious novelties and a sample sale!
The opening ceremony was held at 12 PM.
Unfortunately, it started with light rain, but a total of 30 groups participated.
All participants received two luxurious novelty items!
The first was an original FOLBOT green long-sleeved rash guard.
To make it instantly recognizable as a FOLBOT owner, the body color was set to an unreleased green.
The back features a "FOLBOT OWNERS ONLY" design.
The second was an orange towel with a distinctive butterfly design, provided by old sea.
This is an essential item for water activities.
The event participation fee, including accommodation, was 10,000 yen per adult. Participants raved that "the novelties alone made it worth the price!"
Furthermore, although it wasn't planned, we hastily held a sample sale in response to requests from participants.
We sold samples from the development process and USED items used in photo shoots.
The main attractions were two SUPs used for photo shoots, offered at a special price!
A rock-paper-scissors tournament was held among those interested, and one SUP went to an owner considering a second purchase for their family, while the other went to a friend who accompanied an owner.
Thank you to everyone who made a purchase!
Time to launch. Free interaction among owners
After having a meal and preparing, it was time to launch.
At this event, the main focus was on free interaction among owners.
Participants were seen showing each other spots with beautiful views of Lake Motosu and enjoying lively conversations on the water.
Additionally, while all participants owned a FOLBOT kayak or SUP, kayaks and SUPs were also available for rental.
This allowed them to try out various models they didn't own.
There are many ways to enjoy the lake.
Adults, children, and even beloved dogs all fully enjoyed their time, feeling the richness of nature.
However, as expected, Lake Motosu in October with light rain was cold, so we quickly arranged for a sauna.
After getting wet, participants could warm up properly and continue to enjoy themselves.
It was also the first time so many FOLBOT goods, including collaborative products, were gathered.
The sight of kayaks and SUPs lined up on the shore was particularly impressive.
Deepening connections in the evening ~ Intensive time beyond barriers ~
As the sun set, it was chill-out time at the autumn camp.
We set up a tarp near the operations tent and offered free drinks.
Both staff and participants enjoyed interacting together.
We were able to hear genuine feedback from FOLBOT users among the participants, which will be valuable for future product development.
The FOLBOT management team, as the manufacturer, was able to provide deeper insights into the design secrets and detailed explanations of existing products, which we believe helped strengthen the participants' feelings towards FOLBOT.
During the interaction, there was also a surprise cake celebration for the FOLBOT designer, whose birthday was the next day, creating a warm atmosphere.
Sunday, October 5th: Final Day
Start the day with morning yoga! Get samples again in a rock-paper-scissors tournament!
Day two of the event started with morning yoga led by Ms. Sayuri from old sea.
She taught standing yoga so that anyone could easily participate.
In addition to yoga, she also taught mindset techniques, leaving everyone feeling refreshed.
After yoga, another rock-paper-scissors tournament was held, and a black version of the owner's T-shirt, created as a sample, was given as a prize!
Kayaking & SUP to your heart's content under the clear sky, and plenty of chat too
Perhaps our wishes were heard, as the rain stopped and the weather turned clear.
Everyone enjoyed kayaking, SUP, and chatting with friends until the end of the event.
This was the first "FOLBOT OWNERS MEETING".
By providing ample time for interaction among participants, I believe everyone was able to feel a deeper connection with their peers.
The second "FOLBOT OWNERS MEETING" is scheduled for next year.
We look forward to your participation!
