Sluggish and slow; I don't know whether it's just me, or whether i'm outgrowing the board though!

Yeah, just beach breaks so far! So you'd say the board was good for upto head height?

Yep. Just as long as you get in to the wave nice and early otherwise the lack of entry rocker will have you!

Just keep it in mind that they are pretty high volume small wave boards and you may feel a little under gunned when it gets up around the head!
