After reading this in another post
If I were you I would stick to names that appeal to kids. Things like "Real Mighty" and "Rad" and aspirational things like "Copulator" and stay away from names like "Spaz" and "Gay boy" or things their mothers might call them like "Nice boy" or "Lovely".
This advice is free.
There has been some good ones....It' pretty hard to beat the Ten Cate Whaler from a while back...or the some of Bic's wanky names.....speaking of which, how about...
WIND PAJERO
Al Bino
Al Fresco
Anna Recksiek

'adrenalin' (speed board)![]()
'bmx' (cross-range board)![]()
'owned' (or 'pwned' - wave board)![]()
'barge' (formula)
[edit] - whoops, bondalucci beat me to it...
How about greek mythological figures?
Dionysus or maybe Ares?
Hephaestus is a bit cumbersome as a name, but he was apparently thrown off the top of mount Olympus - something for a board to aspire to!
Waveboard: "Olsen Twin"
Speed Needle: "Meth"
Freestyle: "Dude"
Race: "Fast One"
Kiteboard: "WTF man LOLZ yo yo 'sup G-BHOOUUYYYY Mo Fo"
I designed a windsurfing sail for my thesis at uni while doing product design and called it AEOLUS (The greek god of Wind)..........
I thought it was a very marketable name.......![]()

How about "hypotenuse" that's Greek isn't it. The square root of the sum of a bunch of squares seems appropriate.
Speaking of dumbass names..did you know North Sails made a freestyle sail called the "disco"??
"Wow it's 25kts, think I'll rig my disco"
What about
The beef curtain
The gutted rabbit
or
The split beaver
Of course they would have to be slippery shapes ![]()
Well
Axe Wound sounds slashy - good wavebaord name
Fur Burger sounds soft n cooooshy - good name for a learner board with soft deck
Come on fellas - no one has yet matched "Wave Panther". Who thought that up? You'd have to sail like a champ. I'm thinking of getting one. No wonder those marketing blokes are well paid.
