Hey WakeBoarRder180,

I tried to look up the specs for you on both boards - the HL Motive (both my daughters have smaller versions and love 'em) 140 has 2.7" of continous rocker, all I could find is the LF Trip 138 listed with 2.2" of continous rocker - my guess is the LF is a bit flatter.... so the Motive may give you a bit more pop....

I just got the Motive 140. Its sweet looking, but i know the Trip is to. I hear nothing bad about either board, they are both supposed to be a lot of fun to ride!! I went with the Motive though with 03 Byerly bindings. I got a sweet package deal at the KC boat show!!! I say if you can though Demo.

id go with the trip the 141 trip has 2.3 continuos rocker and is a more advanced board than thew motive and the motive does not have 2.7" rocker it is that same as the trip it is the parks that has 2.7" but if you are looking for a large rocker like that go with a LF fusion 139 it has a 2.8" 3 stage rocker

The Headless Chicken, DEMO
You should always demo any board before you buy one.

ask around local boat shops and some of the salemen might have boards they'll lend ya for a day. Ask your friends if they know anyone whos has either board also.

Have not rode it yet, but from what everyone tells me it has good pop and nice soft landings. Its obviously not going to get you the pop of a 3-stage rocker, but for a continous rocker i hear this is a great board. Plus it has a removiable center fin to adjust the board to your liking. Good luck with deciding!!
