Origin Wakeboards & Fins

I have an '02 Origin Swamp Thing 140 board and lost a fin, anyone know where I could get an extra one, they have 1 screw that goes through the top of the board and 2 nobs on the fin that fit into recessed holes on the bottom. Different from most others, also what happened to the Company, did they close in 02 or something?

Origin is history but Joyride currently uses some of those shapes. The skull is still being produced I think, I'm not sure about the swamp though. I'd say look for a Joyride dealer.

Origin was bought up by Joyride. They still use the origin shapes and now all the boards have the P-tex.
As far as fins, well you can pick pretty much anything (not Hyperlite, they have a differant fin hole setup). I use a CWB fin on my Origin. Take a look at Rainbow, CDI, LF, O'brien, CWB....anyone. If you have a local board shop near you I would suggest making your way down there and have a browse around at the fins. There are alot of differant shapes to choose from.

I use a Rainbow 1.5" Slider fin on my old Weddington Pro 138(skull), that fin setup is prett much the norm aside from Liquid Force & Hyperlite, any one will work. May I recomend a shollw long base fin, those boards ride very vell with them.

I believe the Joyride Dojo is the Swamp

Thanks for the info. I just order Rainbow 1.5" slider fins for the board, seem like the closest to the original ones I had.
