What makes pop. Natural vs LF Team

So what is it about the way a board is made that gives it pop. I am a big guy at 260 6'1" I have a Obrien Natural 144 which is the first board I bought after riding a friends and I just picked up a LF Team 144, mostly so every body would not keep riding my natural. I'm riding the natural with no center fins, though it has the 4 small fins on the out sides. the Team has three at each end, mostly so my boys can have the stability. The natural feels like it is stuck to the water, the landing's are very easy and stable. The team is looser even with the center fins. Board slides very well. and when you go wake to wake it really lifts you up. Olleys are very easy on it. doubles other boat wakes easily, the natural just feels stuck to the water. I know the natural has much more rocker to it and cuts very well.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be great. Or other board comparisons. Thanks, Darrell.

I have no problem launching 100's of feet in the air on my natural. It boots me so high that it's hard to breathe because the air is so thin that high up. It's cold too! but seriously I've ridden the team and Natural I launch much better on the natural, that may just be because I'm used to the natural.
