Drift is the new Australian surf film set in the early seventies that follows two brothers who lay the foundation of the modern surf industry. Drift is a fictional company name but it sums up the freewheeling spirit of the era. At around the same time many real surf companies were getting started and they also chose names belonging to the age. Rip Curl began as Rip Curl Hot Dog. "The words didn't mean anything," Rip Curl founder Doug Warbrick said "Except ripping was groovy; surfing the curl was groovy; we wanted to be groovy — so that was it."

Other groovy names appeared: Hot Buttered, Crystal Cylinders, Golden Breed. Even the filmamkers got into it: Witzig with Sea of Joy, Falzon with Morning of the Earth, Greenough with Crystal Voyager. All groovy, all herbal, alright.

To celebrate the release of Drift Swellnet has one Warner FTR surfboard to giveaway. All you have to do is answer this: It's 1972, surfing's Age of Aquarius is in full swing and you are about to start your own surfing company - what do you call it?

EDIT 22/4: Swellnet is now giving away 50 double passes to Drift. The winners will be chosen from the comments below and drawn at the same time as the surfboard giveaway.

Put your answer/s in the comments below. Entries will close 9am (EST) Friday 26th and the winner will be named at midday the same day. Australian entrants only.

EDIT 26/4: And the winner is...Peter Lewis of Mooloolaba, Queensland! Pete's entry was ""Liquid Daze (I already have the domain name, so its ready to go! for when the internet finally gets invented, it is 1972 afterall)" Pete also included an HTML link: "www.liquiddaze.com". When you clicked on that link, you were greeted with: "Welcome to LiquidDaze.com (pick me swellnet!, my company is all ready to go!)" Pete will receive a new Warner FTR surfboard courtesy of Hopscotch Films and Swellnet. The winners of the 50 double passes to 'Drift' will be contacted over the next few days. Thanks to everyone who entered!
