Hi Andy,
It’s interesting your first post has a sequence of plywood, surfboats, playboats, stripbuilding, with a possible implication that strip is what you like best.
And now you just wrote:

:Ah, but it has to be a strip build ! It has to be wood !!
:Andy

Having designed a few kayaks in a few different approaches, I get to see how some aspects in one may be applied to another different type. And in doing so, sometimes features are gained or at least something is learned from it – as is the case in the above mentioned sequence of thoughts:

The sof kayak ‘sofistry’, was one genesis for the panel design for the oldstyle ic surfer ‘la ligne’ (as shown below). ‘La ligne’ has naturally evolved a bunch of related surf derivatives . . .

- but applied to this conversation, it occurred to me (at the time) that I could use the whole upper panel approach on a ww playyak deck.

To follow what i/m talking about, here is a ¼ full scale veneer s&g model of ‘la ligne’ – look in particular at the 3 main long upper panels:
