Greatest name for a snowboard

I can't decide, between these three. Aggression's "Stealth", which was an insane Asym race board, all black, with that crazy zebra patterned p-tex on it. It looked the part!

Rad-Air's (originally Radical Airlines) "Obsession", a big [171cm] floaty, carvable board that was kinda the precursor to Tankers. You'd be waxing That Board before any anticipated snow storm, and then be giggling to yourself riding the Fresh.

Chuck Barfoot's "Ravine", also a fairly large, but carvable freeride board. Just the right tool for Mt. Baker's Banked Slalom, imho.

My first snowboard was a K2 Gyrator. Around 1988 or maybe 1989. It was one of the first boards to be built like a ski - proper edges, no turn fin, no swallow tail.

They make a modern board under the same name now, or did a year or two ago.

Watching the US Open slopestyle comp this year.... that name was really ahead of its time.
