Just got back from shredding. The board turned out really fun to ride. It took a while to get used to the camber on it.

Looks really good, but I am concerned that you don't have enough ribs in your mold. I would expect that under any significant pressure that thin of an aluminum sheet will seriously deflect between the ribs causing there to be serious ripples in you board. keep it up.
