I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings in case Shane Stoneman or someone connected to him is using this board...but damn man, every Stoneman I've ever tried has been a dog. Theyve all tracked and stuck and i like loose flowy boards. it isn't a small number. Gave my last 6'2 parabolic stringer occy copy away, handed it off to a friend who is learning to surf but refused to ride longer boards and needed something to paddle. I'm not saying he's a bad shaper, it could just be bad luck, but we don't vibe.
I was going to suggest stoneman too. I've had a half dozen from him, each time I give no more than vague input, and they've all rocked.

I recently bought a couple step down/groveler shortboards off craigslist because I had gained then lost a bunch of weight so I was having a hard time getting that slot in the quiver dialed, and once I was down to the weight that I had been when I got one from him the stoneman was just so much better than the others.

But if you've had a different experience then that makes sense. Getting the right board seems to always have some mysterious unknowable x factor. Who knows.

I wont name names but I waited ~8 months for my last board. Put in another order the day I picked it up and if its another 8 months I don't care. Worth the wait b/c I know what Im getting works.

What about Proctor or Roberts? I know a guy down here who ghost shapes for CI that might be able to leave a board in SB for you.
Really like Roberts boards too, good call and reminder! White diamond was a fun board.
