Pastry boards are usually used to enable easy measuring of how big the area of pastry that you've rolled out is (there's usually a set of circular and square marking on the board). They are also non-stick, which means they require little extra flour to facilitate the rolling out of the pastry. Since pastry gets tough the more flour that is incorporated, this is a big advantage. Also, they make transferring rolled out pastry into a tin or case slightly easier than using a rolling pin.
