Using 12" wide 5/4 Ipe deck boards

Hi,

I am replacing about 120sq.ft of deck (after house remodel). The current deck is made with 3x30 large redwood boards. I am looking at using 5/4 x 12 Ipe boards since my local store has a lot at over 18' in length so I can do my 16' foot runs without joins. I will top fasten with hardcote screws and plugs. Gets a little bit of direct sun in summer mornings but not much. Supports/joists are redwood. Will this material cup?

Thanks!!
