You follow through, you buy the board, you wait forever, you get a little annoyed by the multiple mixup and delays, you grow your beard, you develop a topknot, you go on a spiritual journey to help you come to terms with the situation because you don't want to develop a prejudice against a board that you've never surfed, you start wearing travellers pants, you buy multiple tie-dye T-shirts, you realise yoga is good for you and there are loads of hot chicks in the classes, you start eating overnight oatmeal with almond milk, pumpkin seeds and craisins, you consider quitting alcohol to cleanse your soul, you start writing poetry, you draw pictures of flowers, you do a load of other stuff, but YOU FKUCING BUY THE BOARD, MAN!
Then years from now, when the board arrives, you quite like it.
