Board breaking is an important part of training because it builds focus, power, technique, control, and accuracy; it also shows that you can preform the technique properly. I would recamend practicing with rebrakable boards, I like using them because you don't have to have a stack of would every time you want to practice. You also have to be very careful not to hurt yourself, because it is possible, if not easy, to break fingers/toes or even chip the bones in your knuckles. It's a good idea to start small, which is also another good reason to use rebrakable boards, because they have half board equivalents.
Boards don't fight back. - Bruce Lee
In some schools, the breaking of a board is used to show control and focus of one's abilities and may be a requirement for testing. A martial art is designed to teach someone how to fight a living opponent, not to destroy inanimate objects. Breaking boards is not as difficult as most would believe. Breaking a large number at one time is difficult, but it is more a matter raw strength than technique.

How do you break a board?
The trick to breaking a board is to remember exactly WHY boards break. Boards break because boards bend. There's absolutely nothing magical about the process. Grandmaster Forrest G. Blair is an 8th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan USA. He has a great video on his blog explaining how and why boards break (and then demonstrating with an unsupported break - very difficult). Check out the video and I think you'll have a better understanding of how to get the job done, no matter what type of break you do.
