Why do the skins only extend the running length of the board, rather than all the way up the tail. The Voile kit specifies they should only run this far too - can anyone tell me why?

you don't need any more surface area than that — you make up for it in the width of the skins. these things'll get you up where you need them to. plus, any more length is just that much more skin to pull apart (ie. more strength, more time, more space to store, etc.).
