the question says it all. Can you really feel the 10-15 extra cm? (going from a 90cm to a 99/105cm)

It is a huge difference. For me, going from 98cm to 120s, then 110s and 105s was unbelieveable. The jump to 120s from 98s was tough, took me a bit of time to get used to the length and the added weight. The 110s and 105s were easy, instantly felt much more stable and much more confidence in higher speeds.

Yes, you will feel a difference, enough to say that if you were blindfolded you'd know which ones are on you.
BUT
It's not just length that plays a factor. Contour, material, thickness, tip height, width, design, base material, hole positioning, and bindings make huge differences.

I was a die-hard 90cm skiboarder ever since I started about 10 years ago but when I switched from my Canon Heritige to the Revel8 Revolts I was amazed...yes, it took a few runs to start feeling comfortable on something longer but they are so much better for everything on the mountain...more stability for speed and jumps, more float for powder and trees...def. a great upgrade for any experienced skiboarder who wants to step it up a notch!
