A couple of guys i paddle with cover their entire seat/hip pad/crotch block assemblies with a single sheet of lycra glued in place wtih 3M contact cement. If you start applying the fabric before the glue sets, you don't have to worry about wrinkles. just work on a small section at a time. You can get all kinds of crazy patterns and colors for cheap in any fabric shop, too.

be good. -tim
