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.
Sorry dude, telling it how it is...
you have to mislead the cabinet into thinking the opposition have boards of mass destruction
I believe easier to ask for forgiveness than permission ! go ahead my friend and make yourself happy .

how the **** do ya get the war office to part with a grand to get a new board
does she ask when she spends $160 on a haircut ever 4 or 5 weeks.
Be a man
Wife's dig it when you wash some clothes, or clean the bathroom. Might get some more sex as well.
Just a theory though as I do t clean anything but my car...ba ha ha ha ha
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
- Buy her a board for her birthday (whether she kites or not)
- Act indignant if she does not seem pleased with your selfless gift to show your love for her
- Borrow it when she is not using it
expect a 'girly' gift (if any) for your next birthday... 
... 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.

Classic.
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.

Best suggestion yet.
Boys I forgot usefull technique.
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!....
