| The founder Akihiko
Uyama, after he graduated university, had visited Autlalia for a year.
He worked as a river guide there and learned not only rafting skill but
also operation. After he came back Japan, he tried to start rafting operation
company but he didn't have enough money. He was hinted by god the price
of rafting race was rafting boat. The idea came I could start rafting
company if I won the rafting races. The good member Tani, Arami, Sakata,
Kouno gathered together and got the rafting team. Uyama worked on the
Constriction Company weed day and the night he did weight training while
he was drawing in his mind the dream came true. Every weekend the member
gathered together. They run 10 km at Hatchoyou mountain pass, did ton
of push ups and sit-ups. As the result in 1997 they won every single race
they enter the race were king of rafting cap, Kiotu canon rafting race,
Japan River venture cup and Tenryu white water Festival. They got 4 rafts
for the price of rafting race and Bigsmile was started. |
