carving a foam seat??

Does anyone have suggestions for tools to use shaping a foam seat?
I've started using an angle grinder with 50 grit disc,but I can see it will get tough to control as I get deeper.
Can anyone post a pic or description of sharkskin?

To indicate when I've got down to 1/2" I plan to put 2 saw cuts on the bottom of the seat from the back to the middle. I hope this will work? should also provide drainage.

TIA Terry
