Minimax - I was deflowered by these babies. Knowing nothing about nothing, I thought they handled fairly well. Twitchy and slow is how I'd describe them. Had no complaints about the standard bindings that came with it. Though I did manage to rip the entire left binding off the board after a day on the blues. Which was great cuz the next day, I got them exchanged for a brand new spanking pair of Web XLs.
Web XL - I popped this baby's cherry and spread it like butter on hot cornbread. I'm sure the untainted factory finish had something to do with it but the ride was fast and crisp. These boards were also a little squirrelly...but that may have been the crappy rental boots or the bindings. The standard bindings that came with them sucked ass. Trying to maintain balance on those rounded steps while trying to lock them on was a major pain. My boots kept sliding off to the side. Plus, the self adjusting heelclip had a tendency of sliding off setting whenever I carried them. Too often did I find myself fiddling with the settings, then struggling to stay on top of the bindings while trying to put them on. But once I got movin, it was nothing but buttery goodness.
SB 10 - The worst skiboards I've tried so far. The ride was dull and lifeless. Ugly, clunky and forgettable.
