Neck soreness from kick sets?

Is it due to holding your head up while using a kickboard? My neck and back would bother me doing long kick sets with a board. Most of the time now I use a snorkel without a board and kick in streamline. Easier on the back and neck and gets me into a better overall body alignment. Mark
