She started to learn to fly when her father gave her five hours of flying lessons for her 19th birthday, and after this worked at her local flying club, being paid in flying time.

She had logged about 3,000 flying hours, of which only 250 hours was in planes, the remainder in airships. By 2011 Board was working for Airship Ventures who offered "Zeppelin tours of San Francisco Bay, Los Angeles and the Monterey Coast" in their craft Eureka, and she was described as the only female Zeppelin pilot in the world. She had logged more than 5,000 flight hours and was certified by the CAA, LBA and FAA as a commercial airship pilot. By 2012 she had left Airship Ventures to fly a Zeppelin based at Friedrichshafen, Germany, the only other Zeppelin still flying. A second woman, American Andrea Deyling, qualified as a Zeppelin pilot that year. (en)
