This sounds like the standard New Zealand seat for Nordkapps and other kayaks by Sisson Kayaks. Been building them like that for over a decade. Quality Kayaks are also now doing a similar seat on some of their glass boats as is John Dobbe on his singles and doubles though he seems to blank off the access to the side panels.
