Well this experience has made me a believer in some sort of fate.

After drooling over a beautiful yellow single fin cleanlines posted in a different thread, pictured above, and not being able to get it out of my mind, I eventually gave up the idea of a board like that. My money needs to be elsewhere right now, that board needs good waves to truly excel anyway, on the whole it just wouldn't work out. Cut to today. I start my first day at a local surf shop here in South East North Carolina. Notice nothing new on the used board racks, just the same standard high performance, no wave catching, potato-chip pieces of sh*t that comprise the only affordable boards in the place. I start to go about my job when I notice something tucked away beneath the board-shorts up against the wall hidden from view. "Whats this?" I ask myself,"That board actually has a rail? And that shade of yellow is fantastic!" I push back the baggies and see A 6'8 YELLOW NOMAD SINGLE FIN, in fantastic condition, for only $250. I calculated my first paycheck, $203 next tuesday, a price that the manager could easily be bargained down to. Is that fate or what?
I feel like the gods want me to have this board. I'm obligated to buy this board, am I not?
