Nothing. However, the continents float so the thickness of the continent would be greater under the ridge. Also gradually thought time the continent would "flow" to become of uniform thickness, however erosional process would probably remove the ridge first.

If a continent had a ridge in the middle, it would likely experience tectonic activity, such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, along the ridge. This could lead to the continent splitting apart or shifting in position over millions of years, which could eventually result in the formation of new ocean basins.

Do you need a ridge board?

You will need something that will substitute for the same role as a ridge board. If you are building a structure, you must be able to understand the physics of the structural loads. Think about what role the ridge board plays in the structure of the roof. What would happen if it was gone? The ridge board prevents side to side motion. without a similar structure your roof would collapse sideways.
