I have this as well. Two things I would note: it seems very much longer to me than others I've tried (at the gym -- not consumer brands, I assume), and thus harder. You really have to push off hard, and I don't feel like the end pieces are sturdy enough to allow me to do that.
One reason they probably don't feel sturdy, though, ties in to my second issue with the board -- the darn thing won't lay flat no matter what I do! I have left it laying out heavily weighted on both ends for weeks at a time and the ends still want to pop up and roll inward. I can weight them to do the workouts, but as you push off the ends of the slide, the weights tend to work their way off the edges. I'd use the board more often if I could figure out how to fix it, but as it is, I usually grab my gliding discs instead for any sliding moves. I have all the workouts -- the three that came with and the set of 5 or 6 that were sold separately. They are decent workouts, some of the exercises are quite challenging for the core and/or coordination, but I was surprised how little actual sliding side to side there is in the ones I've done. Anyway, just my $.02. YMMV

I agree with Hazel about the workouts, they're quite challenging for the core (talk about burn!), I also wished there were more sliding back and forth in general, spec. on the Cardio DVD, or they should have included an extra DVD with just sliding variations for a good 30 min. (at least), that would have been fun.
About the board, I'm 5'4 and the 5' board feel good to me, I never "slided" (is that correct?) before, so I don't know if I'll like a longer one, I also think a longer one would be more challenging, not a bad thing, but for my workout space the 5' is just perfect. I usually unroll mine 15-20 min. before my workout and place two sandbags on each end, and when I get back it is ready to go. I also remember a few members here got another board from Amazon (?) and they were quite please with it too.
