I don't understand why you would want extra stiffness,would'nt you want a little flex and springback to maintain drive.
I believe more of a parabolic rail would provide more flex while still being smooth.In other board sports stiff boards really chatter,chatter sux..!! Creating more work in maintaining momentum.

Great looking board!
Couple of things. Cost and time?
You're vacuum board was a professional setup?
