If you can splurge,try and score some marine plywood.It is extremely dimensionally stable and won't warp on you over time.Ever! The stiffness will help too, so you won't have to do a bunch of reinforcements.
Vorticity on top of the foil will induce it to 'dance' so the stiffness is a welcome thing.
