# Nogglesboard: Nounish Surfboards v3

**TL;DR:** This project is a true **Nounish experience**, bringing together artists and surfers to develop the first ever Nounish surfboards. These boards feature a unique **asymmetrical design**, symbolizing the decentralization of Web3 and our community. Each one will be adorned with artwork inspired by the Nouns universe, created by a diverse group of artists. The initiative includes a premiere exhibition event, celebrating the surfboards before they are distributed to athletes through a giveaway and incorporated into public goods initiatives. Every step of this project will be documented in high quality CC0 content, ensuring its impact spreads far and wide across multiple channels and partner networks. Throughout the one year execution period, we will have ample time to handle all logistical aspects while ensuring the quality and consistency of each action.

## Collaborating with new Artists for Nounish Surfboards.

The plan is to invite and host five talented artists for a unique experience blending art, creativity, and blockchain. These artists, each specializing in different fields, will visit the surfboard factory where we’ll be shaping the Nounish surfboards. There, they will collaborate to develop exclusive graphics and designs for the boards, drawing 100% of their inspiration from the Nouns ecosystem including NFTs, traits, past works, and animations. The entire process will be filmed and presented as short form media, following the Nounish storytelling model.

- [**Talita Persi**](https://www.instagram.com/talitapersi/) (Illustrator, Painter)   
- [**Vitor Bueno Buena Vista**](https://www.instagram.com/buenovictorttt/) (Tattoo Artist & Graffiti Artist)  
- [**Brux11nha - Sarah**](https://www.instagram.com/brux11nha/) Multiartist / Black Work
- [**João Lírio Jota**](https://www.instagram.com/joaolirio.design/) (Lettering & Sketching)  

Each artist will receive payment for their creations and will be guided by Zimardrp and Willdias, who will provide creative support, insights and onboarding. Together, we'll build a narrative that bridges handcrafted surfboards, art, and blockchain like never before. From this collaboration: **Three surfboards** will be donated to notable athletes, including:  

  - [**Jéssica Bianca**](https://www.instagram.com/jessbianca_/) (Professional Female Surfer)  
  - [**Ícaro Lasas**](https://www.instagram.com/icarolasas/) (Adaptive Surf Athlete)  
  - [**Tunico Lopez**](https://www.instagram.com/tunicolopez/) (Free Surf Young Traveler)  
- **Three surfboards** will remain with Zimardrp & Maze.

*For content creation, promotion, and engagement, we selected these surfer athlete artist friends based on their need for quality equipment and deep involvement in the sport. They actively compete, produce surf content, and embody the Nounish spirit. Among them is Ícaro, the reigning Brazilian Adaptive Surfing Champion, a seasoned female surfer with a great journey in global surf culture, and a young traveling grommet based in Indonesia, a hub of surf innovation. Equipping them with Nounish surfboards will elevate their content and amplify the project’s reach. In addition to the involvement of [Zimardrp](https://flows.wtf/item/0x822ca6b066a54c39aad5b0fd9f47ca8d084aeec3413606746fdd8bdf72722fdf), surfers from [Airdrop Culture](https://www.instagram.com/airdrop.culture/), [Matheus MAT](https://www.instagram.com/maze_mat/) and surfers from [MazeSurfcrafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts/)*.

The designs will be the result of a physical collaboration with artists, as well as the execution of a round on Warpcast to include artists from Gnars, Nouns, and the broader Web3 community, within the theme of the Nouns universe.

### Community Driven Nounish Surfboard  
A specific round will be launched on Warpcast, allocating **1 ETH** to the theme of *Nouns / Gnars* within the Gnars/Nouns universe. This initiative will celebrate the creativity of the Nouns community by allowing members to submit designs for a Nounish surfboard. We will invite friends from the Gnars and Nouns community to assist in the curation process, ensuring inclusivity and diversity in the selection of artworks for the first Nounish surfboard.  

The selected designs will be digitized and vectorized by our team before being applied to the surfboards. One of these surfboards will eventually be auctioned as a modern NFT, serving as a media vehicle in the surf world and highlighting Nouns innovative approach to custom surfboard culture.

This campaign not only amplifies Nouns' artistic and community driven ethos but also **pioneers the fusion of handcrafted surfboards, art, and blockchain innovation.** This movement is gaining momentum in the surfing world, posing a significant challenge to major surf industries reliant on mass production.  

At the heart of this initiative is the **handcrafted Nounish surfboard** a brand new product developed by artists, for artists and athletes. The goal is to onboard diverse creators into the Nouns ecosystem just as blockchain empowers artists enhancing the visibility and quality of their work. This project is truly groundbreaking, bringing a level of artistic and technological innovation never before seen in the surfing industry.

## Action Strategy 

- **Fabrication of 7 Nounish Surfboards**:Each surfboard will be hand shaped, preserving the traditional craft of surfboard making. The models will feature [asymmetrical designs](https://peakd.com/hive-141964/@joaoparmagnani/enpt-br-4-years-with-asymetrical-surfboards)  like [Sweet Amnesia](https://peakd.com/hive-141964/@joaoparmagnani/asymetrical-surfboard-sweet-amnesia-model-hydrodynamics) and Paralelogram, along with Twin Fin and Quad Fin setups. Every board will carry a Nounish inspired name, blending blockchain culture with surf heritage. Out of the seven boards, five will showcase unique artistic expressions, while two will be special editions one from the Rounds action and another by artist [Illustratora](https://warpcast.com/ilustradora.eth).

- **Hosting Artists**: Invite artists to join our space for a truly Nounish experience, blending food, art, handshaping, and creative expression in an inspiring exchange of ideas. The process will be documented through short media, capturing interviews, the handcrafted shaping phase, and the creation of Nounish artworks that will be featured on the surfboards. Participants will be welcomed with a Nounish Kit, including a shirt, Precious Noggles, and a special card, making for a memorable onboarding into the Nouns ecosystem.


- **Nogglesboard Rounds:** Launch and manage a Nogglesboard Round on the [Gnars channel in Warpcast](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/gnars), fostering community engagement and supporting artists with ETH. This initiative will not only strengthen the connection between our communities but also give artists from our ecosystem the opportunity to leave their creative mark on the first ever Nounish surfboards.

- **Host a premiere event** showcasing the first Nounish Surfboards, featuring a screen presentation of NFTs, quick videos from our ecosystem such as [Nouns Fest Movies](https://www.youtube.com/@nounsfest), artwork, and a teaser of the captured material from this initiative. The event will include food, live music with a DJ, the presence of artist friends, and a true Nounish vibe (with PreciousNoggles and community friends). Everything will be recorded as part of CC0 media, NFTs, and the final documentary.

- **Giveaway for Surfers/Artists:** Handle the shipping, distribution, and logistics of the surfboards after the event, ensuring they reach the selected surfers. Each board will be delivered with a special [Nogglesboard shirt](https://www.instagram.com/p/C49CVqpP4zY/?igsh=MTEwc2Y1ZHIxZWJlaQ==), an ArtCard, and more, creating a meaningful connection to the project. Upon receiving their boards, the surfers will also receive a personalized letter detailing the board’s story, including the names of all contributing artists. They will be encouraged to share this moment on their social media, followed by footage of their surf sessions, which will be included in our final documentary.

- **Media Creation**: Produce high quality audiovisual content, including viral short form media (Instagram Reels, Stories, YouTube Shorts, GIFs, and photography) and artistic designs (banners, lettering, and graphics). Additionally, create a full length CC0 documentary covering every stage of the Nogglesboard project from the introduction to Nouns and the shaping process to artist collaborations, the premiere event, and the Expression Session surf test.A special Nogglesboard skate video will also highlight the Public Goods initiative in Uganda, the history of Nogglesboard, and key milestones. Content will be distributed across Web2 platforms like Instagram and Web3 platforms such as Zora, Mirror, and Hive, amplified by partners like [MazeSurfcrafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts/), [We Collective](https://www.instagram.com/we.collectivee/), [Item Filmes](https://www.instagram.com/itemfilmes/),[Lil Nouns](https://www.instagram.com/lilnouners/), [GnarsDAO](https://www.instagram.com/gnarswtf), and [Airdrop Culture](https://www.instagram.com/airdrop.culture/).

- **Launch a special noggleboard website:** Developed by a specialized team, in close collaboration with the Nogglesboard crew, ensuring continuous updates and key project milestones. The site will feature Nounish branding, including a custom logo designed by Mikegood, and will showcase Surf designs details, NFT's, a photo gallery, an interactive page, and a comprehensive overview of the project. Additionally, it will highlight partnerships with Nouns initiatives like Gnars, reinforcing the project's credibility as a genuine Nouns endeavor.


- **Ongoing Media and Communication**: Continue the movement, warming up and managing the nogglesboard profile (branding, social media communication and partners). Turning the nogglesboard page into a standalone project, with the involvement of several people and a great track recording of the first project. Also Provide and work with Updates, Posts and general participation in our ecosystem as well as on our social media, reporting on the main events and developments, continuing the creativity and building on what we know. Expand this achievement to magazines and artistic print media. 

- **Public Goods:** Support the Kampala skate community, which has embraced GnarsDAO, FlowsWTF, and the Nogglesboard movement. Funds will be sent to Shredder [Isaac]([Isaac](https://warpcast.com/isaachuston/0x4e162103)), with [Davin](https://warpcast.com/davinoyesigye) support if needed, to purchase skateboard decks and strengthen the local scene. Once acquired, the decks will be distributed with Nounish stickers and celebrated through a community event. Later, as they wear out, artist [Will Dias](https://willdias.hotglue.me/) will lead a recycling initiative, guiding the community via video call on upcycling them into new Nogglesboard models. To support this, a jigsaw will be acquired as part of the public goods effort, ensuring sustainability and continued creative expression.

*One of the compelling aspects of this proposal is the unique appeal of asymmetrical, twinfins, hand shaped custom boards, which are currently celebrated as highly artistic objects while also delivering top tier performance. There’s a strong connection between enthusiasts of this surfing style and various artistic fields. Integrating this with a Nounish/crypto experience where the boards themselves become artistic canvases introduces an innovative and highly engaging concept. Excited to get this project rolling, focusing on steady progress and carefully planning to continue the journey with Nounish artistic boards and Nogglesboards!*

### Public Goods   

![Image](https://ipfs.skatehive.app/ipfs/QmST4wyiEmZmm4KnHToBtDj8uCACbMuaWuhftJRMGzoAnu)

The **Nogglesboard Skate** project, founded by professional skateboarder and artist [Will Dias](https://willdias.hotglue.me/), has grown organically over the years, producing over 80 boards without funding, while promoting Noggles, recycling and creativity. In response to feedback from the last proposal, we will focus on producing **Nogglesboard Surf** while keeping skateboarding alive through a Public Goods initiative in light of the current situation, and also with high quality, inspired videoby the success of [*Disorder*](https://vimeo.com/247013834) New York Project. These content will serve as key assets for the Nouns and Gnars ecosystem, showcasing the deep artistic and cultural connection between skateboarding and surfing.


 Over time, the Nogglesboard movement has inspired global events, such as KSI Uganda Kampala Initiative handcrafted skateboard projects ([watch here for better understood](https://www.instagram.com/kampalaskateboardinitiative/reel/DFdcsJZIiOm/)), as well as collaborations with [PizzaDAO](https://www.instagram.com/lilnouners/p/DCpRwq_vf1H/) that have garnered attention both IRL and URL. Beyond the boards, Nogglesboards have been key interactive and artistic elements at meetups and events worldwide, decorating spaces with a Nounish and captivating vibe. This powerful blend of art, sport, and community makes Nogglesboard a project deserving of recognition and support.

Uganda faces constant challenges in [obtaining skateboarding materials](https://warpcast.com/zimardrp/0x54c3dc9b), as seen in the GIFs. Our commitment is to strengthen this local scene by ensuring skaters have access to the resources they need to grow. Our public good is dedicated to supporting the Uganda skateboarding community, providing essential equipment, and encouraging initiatives that can grow and create great impact. These resources not only boost skateboarding but also strengthen the local economy, with the purchase of materials made by Gnars shredders, including Isaac Huston and Epharaim Sylar, under the supervision of Davin Oyesigye.

In addition to ensuring skaters have the tools they need to progress [(jigsaw-makita)](https://www.ubuy.com.br/en/product/OYQR4V4-makita-djv180z-18v-lxt-cordless-jig-saw?ref=hm-google-redirect), express themselves, and innovate, we are providing 40 new decks, which, after use, will be repurposed into nogglesboards. This cycle fosters creativity, sustainability, and community development, expanding opportunities both within and beyond skateboarding.

**I hope you enjoyed the proposal, dear Nouns community.We feel prepared, excited, and fully focused on executing this project, which has been thoughtfully planned for a long time. Aloha! **Thank you guys so much. s2 lfg ⌐◨-◨****
