Can you post some pics of the area you’re talking?

I not sure what "waterboard" is. I would use ABS or PVC foam board or make a fiberglass panel.

I think hes referring to "weather board" its the black water resistant panel cardboard. Ive used it before. You can actually shape it by spraying it with windex and then forming it into the area. After it dries it retains the shape. Afterwords you can also a apply a thin layer of fiberglass resin to help keep the shape and help weatherproof it a bit more. It also becomes more sandable at that point to make for a smoother surface when applying material.
