why head above the water when kicking with kick board?

that is my general observation in the pool. Is there some reason for that? why not submerge the head when kicking? Is that better for developing leg and hip strength? Thanks.

    Haven't used a kick board for years. I do crawl kick on my side, fly on my back. seated back kick my head is out of the water my waist is bent usually called Krazelburg kick, or do regular back kick or one leg, and *** I hold on to pull buoy or just have hands in front. this is so much easier on my neck and lower back. I also don't use a pull buoy for pulling. I just cross my legs and let them drag. It is create on your butt because you have tokeep your butt muscles flexed in order to keep you legs up.
