I have used Ethafoam [not sure of the spelling or if this is a brand name] for my archery targets. It may be useful for kayaks, I haven't tried it yet.

I buy the stuff from people who sell packaging [boxes etc.]. It is available in various densities and thickness. I paid about $75.00 CNDN for a full "plank" 2" thick 24" wide and over 8' long. The packaging people were also quite happy to sell me the odd size pieces that they had left over from other orders.

Hope this helps.
