I have the Burton Missions and I love them. What I have found is that dispite the light weight material they are made out of, they are virtually just as stiff as my friends that are made out of aluminum, and lighter too. So they are super repsonsive for beginners, but light enough not to weigh you down if you want to catch some air. The only problem I have had with mine is that one of the toe straps doesn't fully catch when I have it tightened all the way down. The strap seems slightly stripped. I am going to send them back at the end of the season to have it looked at and replaced. So far it has not been any problem while riding, it hasn't came loose or undone. But if it gets too bad I at least have a pair of Burton Freestyles as back ups.
