Strip: SurfSki Seat

I am starting a new project to build a strip built SurfSki, and as some people have mentioned the seat or cockpit is of great concern. I was able to make a plaster off of the seat area of a friends Epic V8 and I can do a layup of the seat surface and tie the layup back into the SurfSki deck but I would consider this a backup plan. I would like to make the seat area out of wood if I can figure how to form the wood to be a shape similar to the seat in a glass SurfSki. At one point a few years back Nick had a sketch of a seat he thought could be formed of plywood. I haven’t seen anything on it lately, any ideas out there for a comfortable seat that won’t need to be padded out.
