Name that surfboard!

Ridiculous request.
I started building high performance shortboards about 3 years ago and decided to go from hobby to business. The problem is everytime I pick a name for my company my peers give it the thumbs down. I'm totally out of ideas. The peers are good at pooping on ideas, but have none of their own.

I'm totally open to suggestions...

I greatly appreciate your help.

Surname

Surname is the fall-back. I was hoping to create a more generic name that brands better...like quick silver, rip curl, billabong, channel island, rusty...so on. Besides, investors (if I need to get some) tend to work with transferrable names over personal names as the good will associated with the name is difficult to maintain if I for, some reason, retire and sell the company (thinking way off into the hypothetical future).
