Hey Banshee,
I feel your pain.
Have you carefully explained the economics to your Mom? A secret about us women - we go nuts about finding shopping bargains. It must be genetic, we need to and look for shopping bargains. What have you used as your sales pitch? Try typing up an official looking market analysis for her and print it out. Show price comparisons. This will let her know you are serious about this and that it is a bargain RIGHT NOW with LIMITED SUPPLY. Full prices are in effect one month after Labor Day. Women don't like paying full price. Use the keywords: bargain, limited supply, and full price in your sales pitch. Be professional in your approach. Best time to approach her is after you helped her for at least an hour with something around the house - for example - laundry, meals, house cleaning.
Another item. Who's paying for the board? You, your Mom, or some other method? If you are contributing towards payment, this shows serious interest. There is still some summer left...earn some cash and tell her it's going towards the board.
If you play your cards right, you may get your board still.
Good luck
