Using a kickboard can put stress on the shoulders. It's why my coach (and myself when I coach) won't let people with shoulder pains who want to kick the practice use a board. If I was doing a 1650 or any longer straight kick set, I would use a snorkle with my hands at my sides (also a good position to use if you have had shoulder pains and want to just kick).
