Icon vs Prankster

At the moment I am riding a Cabrinha Prankster 1.50 which was my first board......Now I am thinking of buying a Cabrinha Icon 1.30
Can anybody with experience on both boards tell me the advantages/disadvantages/differences between these boards.

Thanks

I have the 130 icon and it rocks.Go for it!You will have much better control over your kite with this board and its easy to ride.The prankster is a thicker board and harder to ride gusts out for me anyways..Seems to work well in lighter winds as well,but i Weigh only 140lbs.You will find once you get a small board,that you will never want a big one again,they feel to cumbersome.

Depends largely on what you want the board to do. The Vari 138 is better for light wind, but if you are planning to ride overpowered its kewl. The 130 needs power.

The 130 is really nice, you will need a couple more knots to ride it over the prankster. The 140 is faster to the plain, and also nice, I wouldn;t go any bigger as they loose there appeal . They are a hundred times better to ride, alot easier to ride aggressively. You cant go wrong with either. PS stay away from the Labrat, its a bit of a dog
