Stand Up Paddle Boards Review have announced today the acquisition of originpaddleboards.com.
This Swiss paddle board brand is well-known for their custom inflatable paddle boards. The acquisition of the domain name offers Stand Up Paddle Boards Review an exciting opportunity to strengthen its market share and fullfill its mission to make stand up paddle boarding more accessable to all people, irrespective of age, sex, experience and background.
Origin Paddle Boards was founded by Neal Carter-James, a self-proclaimed seriial entrepreneur, and Neil Parmenter, who had previously been involved in the water sports & outdoor industry for over a decade.
The two inflatble paddle boards the company offered were the Origin 14’ Mis and an Origin Custom Mis board.
ORIGIN 14’0 MIS [MADE IN SWITZERLAND]
THE ULTIMATE RACE / TOUR / EXPEDITION HYBRID – A REVOLUTIONARY INFLATABLE PADDLE BOARD.
Touted as the most beautiful inflatable paddle board in the world, the Origin 14’0 MiS is lovingly hand-crafted in Switzerland at the Origin R&D Lab & Micro Manufacturing Facility by a skilled team of in-house specialist inflatable paddle board technicians.
From the moment you set eyes on the board you can see it’s different from the mass produced boards that are made in China. The gulf in quality becomes even more evident when you pick it up; the weight, or lack thereof, will blow your mind and this is only highlighted when you see the technical specification, that really puts this premium board in a league all of it’s own. No corners cut, no expense spared.
We set out to make the best paddle boards in the world and the Origin 14’0, part of the MiS range, is clear confirmation of that achievement.

The custom programme runs as follows:
Initial consultation with one of the Origin co-founders either via video analysis and verbal/written follow up, or in person on the water in Switzerland near our facility (up to 1 hr).
Paddle style and preferred paddle environments discussed to start to determine a recommended width, length and overall outline shape. You’d also receive pointers and tips on paddle technique.
Design and Manufacture Consultation – which covers how you like to paddle; race, recreation, adventure, distance, touring and the types of environments you like to paddle in along with a number of other pertinent details.
Discussion on our recommended outline shapes, size of the board and what you “like” and if that fits our analysis. This is where we match you thoughts to the perfect board.
Once we’ve settled on a general board shape and size, we discuss the accessories on the board; d-ring number and placement, handles and any extras you’re considering.
Graphics Consultation – This covers if you’d like any extra design graphics on the board so we get an idea of the “look” you want and where on the board you want any extra graphics.
- Extra D-rings – CHF10 each
- Extra handles – CHF20 each
- Printed graphic detail on underside – CHF100
- Printed graphic detail on rail – CHF50

Following this our design team work up the designs and we run these past you for your preferred choice.
Finally, the whole consultation and design process is pieced together by our team and the full production designs are produced for your board. We send these to you for final feedback and sign off before the board goes into the production schedule.
