i have a 9'2 epoxy longboard which i think i might have knackered due to a large pressure dent on the deck from landing with the knee

Got some more:
When I takeoff I'm usually already planing across the face of the wave for a second or two. I paddle hard at an angle, wait for that rush as the wave shoots you forward and then try to pop up. Is this too late ? It feels like I really have to haul my big ass up into a standing position, not that the board is falling away from me as you say it should be. Theres nothing easy about it at all, it's grunt work.

Comment: Surfing reminds me of playing guitar. It's not too difficult to play the guitar, but to play well takes a lot of practice. Surfing is the same.

and to add to that, if you stop playing for a few days, weeks, even months, coming back, you're a little bit slower, not as clean, and not quite top form. you can't play for as long or as fast and you could have, and so on. good analogy
