You dont. Waste of money, buy a 1-2 season old board and let some other sucker pay for the depreciation.
Whats wrong with your current board anyway, seriously? If its only to get more jollies then you're screwed. If you've snapped it then you have a case, to get a used board that is. And with the money you've "saved", buy something nice for her.
Yes seek forgiveness... Far better than ask permission and be denied.
Sow the seed in advance.... a good couple months in advance. "im going to buy a board" gets you particial rage... but there cannot be full rage factor as nothing has been purchased. when the purchase occurs the war offices mind is ready for the purchase. Full rage does not occur.
Confusion. I'm going to sell that board and buy this board but i'm going to swap the fins from this board and the bindings from that. That should give me enough to replace the bridles.... keep going until you see glassed eyes. Then you will get a frustrated ,.."whatever"... your in the purchase is approved.
Wait. For a good mood. Never discuss these matters when an internal chemical attack is occurring.
buy something of equal or greater value for the office. An expensive method but usually works.
Treat em mean keep em keen. Be blantant. "I'm buying are board and you are going to be god damned pleased about it!...."
Sneaky. Just buy it and don't mention it! she wont notice.
Followed by the Jedi I mind trick. When she finds out and is about to rage. "yes we discussed this new board 3 months ago! You do remember!"
Or denial "what new board? I don't see a new board"
lies " that's my brothers board, i'm just borrowing it".
Allowance. Agree to a weekly allowance to pay yourself to buy "man things". Build you cash up and buy at you will.
Put your trousers back on. And make the financial decisions... You may end up with a by election is the war office is used to being the finance minister.
Good advice, except freedofrog you got issues man. will grab my nuts in one hand, board in the other, smack her over the head with it, then tell her the new one has much more flex. thanks guys
... sorry but I got the opposite once I got the missus into kiting ,,, now I have to 'stop' her from buying boards,,,,, and guess what,,,, I don't stop her, win win.
I am going away with the boys for the Grand Final weekend, she knew, didnt bat an eyelid as usual Said to her last night "oh the following weekend after GF i am going back to the same place for my soccer teams end of season trip for the weekend, is that ok love" her response...."that will be fun", no war, no problem that's why i married her, happy days
Words of wisdom from the front line. Well done lads. It was sooo funny I had to show the War Office, who laughed her tits off. We now have a new level of understanding.

Hurry up n go would ya, I've got lawns to mow and edges to cut
Rage factor 9: Wait till the war office is mad about something else. Roll with the argument and drop the " i'm bought a board too" comment in there. Sure yourl get rage. but your already in the dog box so who cares!.. By up large while she's mad. You might as well. At this point you have nothing to loose!....
