What would you consider as the most important reason to include kicking in your workouts?
Also, what do you see as the main difference and purpose between the exercises kicking with a board and kicking without a board?

I left out the most important thing I learned about kicking this year.
Kick while you are swimming. If you two beat kick during most of practice, 4 beat kick. If you four beat kick most of practice, six beat kick. It will do wonders for your kick endurance and it is really important that you kick works with your stroke.
Not sure I get it right here. If what you mean is that we should aim at overkicking in order to better develop fitness, then I definitely agree with this statement.
And as you say, it is a very subtle but important component of one's preparation.
Personally, I'd go as far as suggesting 6beat for all, even for 2beat kickers but that's me.
