Special Thanks To
The community:
It's super hard to explain in words to you guys how excited I am that this is finally happening, I am incredibly grateful for the support and love this project has gotten.
It's been about a year and a half now since I started on the first designs for what would eventually become the Alyssia, and it's been a heck of a journey going from design,
to prototyping, to changes, to the final design you guys see now. I truly hope that everyone who joins in receives a board worth all the patience and generosity you've given,
and I hope that the Alyssia is worth as much to you as it really is to me.

Once again, I thank all of you, and a special thanks to the Sneakbox Design team for partnering up with me, I genuinely could not have done any of this without all of your support.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Grats, it really is a beautiful board! I'm hoping to sneak a order in for one myself before the limit is hit, either way though GLWGB!
