That's very true. I know some people prefer to be a big fish in a small pond, but that's not always healthy. And it wouldn't help to have a special board for (say) everyone around 7.5" - imagine how boring that would be.

There have been people here with 9.5" who considered themselves small in their own minds, helio. I think it's not just the size, but your own self-confidence, and experiences, and what people tell you, and all sorts of things.
