 :agree:

You just waste the bottom several feet of board as you can't fit your feet in there.  Don't go stingy on the kickboard either, I had a board with a 6" kickboard and wished I had made it 12" for ease of use.  Just put really poor footholds (or screw some 2p's onto it) if you want to be hard :)
