TL:DR: We will produce 50 handmade Nogglesboards and 12 Nounish Surfboards, each represented by NFTs. These NFTs will be available for purchase at a solidarity price, with buyers selected through a raffle to receive the physical boards. Profits from the sales will support NounsDAO and GnarsDAO.
Additionally, we will launch a dedicated Nogglesboard page to showcase high-quality visual content and host unique events, promoting the intersection of art, skate, surf, and fashion, while fostering deeper community engagement. As part of this, we will develop a high-quality Nogglesboard website with a professional team of developers. Over the course of the year, the site will be continuously updated with new projects, NFT releases, and necessary updates, providing a central hub for all things Nogglesboard.
Once the boards are produced, we plan to host an interactive exhibition at a local art museum, showcasing Nounish artwork on the boards alongside high-quality media presentations. We aim to fund versatile wheelchairs for disabled surfers and support two world adaptive surfing athletes.
Production of 50 Recycled Nogglesboard Handmade: Production of 12 Handcraft Nounish Surfboards, featuring high-quality videos documenting the process of both, shreeding hard.
Return earnings to the community: Each nogglesboard and Nounsurfboard will feature unique style or a artwork from NounsHD and part of them will be tokenized as NFTs pictures, buyers will compete for the board's physical archive, allowing for community engagement. While 60% will go to NounsDAO and 30% will go to GnarsDAO promoting community sustainability and artistic development, 10% of NFT sales will support the project creator.
Create a “Nogglesboard” page: (website, twitter, warpcaster, IG, e-mail, nounspace), a strong profile with a minimalist surfing and skating vibe involving our nounish aspect, with art, surfboards, skateboarding, seeking to build bridges with potential artists, surfers, skateboarders, enthusiasts who participated in the project like those who have common bond. Therefore, media material such as high quality films, photographs, reports, images of the arts, we want to share constantly in this future profile for at least 1 year as there are a lot of activities and aiming to continue this project.
Hold events with different goal: including unique Nouns arts exhibitions featuring the two projects: Noggles Board and Nounsurfboard. These events will include video premieres, explanations of the tokenization project, live music, art exhibitions, film screenings, gallery displays, "expression sessions" with Nounish surfboards and much more.
Audiovisual: Produce a variety of visual content, including lookbook photographs and NFT products, as well as two short films—one on Noggleboards and one on surfboards. Additionally, create quick videos for future Instagram reels and the Nogglesboard page, along with special designs and more. The aim is to convey an innovative approach and offer an exceptional experience to the viewer by incorporating humor, nature conservation, recycling, decentralized design, and high-level technology. This project will blend the worlds of skateboarding and surfing with a poetic and philosophical aesthetic. Provide these materials to the Nouns profile, the Gnars profile, and our community at large.
Public Goods: The project aims to secure financing for versatile wheelchairs, allowing surfers with disabilities better access to the sea. Additionally, we will organize a social action event in collaboration with a children's institution and Lil Gnars. To further strengthen community ties and support, Nogglesboards will be shipped to DH Downhill Nouns Skateboarding Colombia to engage and connect with their community. Moreover, Nogglesboards will also be distributed to athletes within the Nouns ecosystem, fostering stronger interaction and support from the broader community.
I'm Zima ARDRP ⌐◨-◨, an artist, free surfer, and Gnars athlete. I've been a huge fan and supporter of the Nouns Web3 movement. For the past six years, I've been diving deep into the world of asymmetrical surfboards in partnership with my shaper, Maze Surf Crafts. Together, we've been breaking the bubble of conventional surfboards and discovering curves that have never been explored before. I was happy to put forward a proposal to Gnars, have it succeed, and create new opportunities to strengthen and promote our community.
Our goal is to offer unique, custom boards that reflect the nouns vibe while promoting creative handmade practices. Bringing a new dimension to the surfing community through a project never before carried out in the world, which is the tolkenization of boards and customized board in high quality design with web3 technology.
Cheers, Zima ARDRP
I'm Will Dias ⌐◨-◨, artist and proskater at GnarsDAO. I'd like to share a bit about a project that has been incredibly meaningful to me: the creation of the Noggles Boards. In 2022, I had the idea of creating these boards as a way of organically spreading the Noggles vibe around the world. This was an artistic and recycling effort that I undertook voluntarily, without any external funding. I made 60 shapes, and the response was phenomenal. These boards have led to a number of positive results, including greater involvement from the skateboarding community and a wider diffusion of Noggles in a radical and artistic context.
Through the initiatives combined with community engagement and public goods, Sopa de Letras Square has become a more vibrant and dynamic place for skateboarders and community members. In addition, this funding was provided by Gnars for the construction and maintenance of obstacles and structures in and around the square.
Given the strong acceptance and enthusiasm from both skaters and the community, I’m excited to propose something even bigger for the future.
Our goal is to continue merging technology, art, sports, and sustainability to create something truly impactful through the production and development of authentic Noggleboards. We hope you enjoy this proposal, crafted with care and honesty, as we look forward to bringing even more awesome projects to life for the community.
Cheers, Will Dias
We are great friends, and together we could develop projects like the "Gnars Contest: Best Noggles Montage" among other achievements in a good flow of creation. We've had many cool ideas, but many of them require a high budget to be fully realized. However, this current proposal is very special to us because it combines two projects we are deeply passionate about.
The objective of this proposal is to create something awesome for the community, combining what we do at Gnars as athletes and artists. To give all developers, builders, and artists the opportunity to engage in sports like surfing, with a completely authentic and customized board featuring a NounsHD, or even skating with a unique noggles skateboard, or simply displaying it as art at home.
Moreover, the nogglesboards are recyclable, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and innovation. We strive to create something meaningful and inspiring that not only benefits the community, but also leaves a lasting impact on skateboarding, surfing and arts culture by promoting eco-friendly and creative practices.
Nogglesboard improvement point:
Given the latest productions noting the sensitivity of nogglesboards for more performant maneuvers, aiming at a longer useful life, this production consists of the insertion of a reinforcement in the lower part, more sensitive, made of metal, guaranteeing extra safety and longevity. :)
Production Cost: 100 USD per unit (management work for recycling, carpentry, painting, final finishing and packaging).
The raw material in question is the skate board, and it comes from a recyclable source, I established links to receive this raw material in a way that can help, and develop something cool in parallel. The 50 future nogglesboards will come from:
Donation from Stores and Partners on the outskirts of São Paulo, enabling these stores to strengthen an innovative Web3 movement. (Soma, Bless skate shop, Mera Skateshop)
From Movement within the Skatehive community, which is a partner of Gnars, seeking this Shape Collection. The event in Skatehive is great because it attracts many active web3 users.
Exchange Program for interested parties to obtain the Noggleboard, promoting the recycling scene. This program involves giving an old skateboard deck in exchange for a new nogglesboard. It is a very attractive initiative for the first 15 people who participate.
This multifaceted approach ensures that the Nogglesboard becomes more than just a product, it becomes a symbol of innovation, creativity, and social responsibility.
6'2 Goofy Stance, 5'11 Regular Stance, 5'6 Regular Stance
Production Cost: 430 USD per unit Market price example of Asymetrica with Pigmented painting, Album Surf 1370 USD
I wrote on Hive under the link "Asymmetric Boards" a text that explains more why I think it's interesting to link this board model with the nouns ecosystem. On my hive profile you can also see other research and reports around the artistic world of surfing, such as environmental preservation and sustainability issues and projects.
"Asymmetrical boards revolutionized the surfing world by challenging closed conventions. With their innovative designs and intentional asymmetries, they opened up new possibilities for maneuvers and experiences for surfers. Likewise, the Web3 movement and the punk spirit are shaking up the centralized structures of the internet."
The plan is to create a total of 12 NFT files, including 6 Nounsurfboards with NounsHD at the bottom and another 6 Nogglesboards with unique paintings. One of the art buyers or project supporters will be selected to win the physical board at home. The NFTs will be created on Layer 2 Base, enabling mints with different coins and integration with Farcaster. A solidarity price of 0.0007 ETH will be set, as the aim is also to give back to the community's treasure.
Once the proposal is approved and the Nounsurfboards and Nogglesboards are produced, we will begin sharing more details about the project on our Warpcast, IG, and with Gnars and our partners. We will communicate with the winners of the NFT project through a dedicated channel on the Gnars server called "Nogglesboard," providing detailed information such as shipping, addresses, and more.
The project will also address essential operational costs, including logistics, piped gas, additional equipment, and cloud storage for the Nogglesboard profile. A significant investment will be made in a new hood machine ("maquita") for cutting the boards and in acquiring new materials for the shaping room to ensure top-quality production. Short trips between Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, and São Paulo will facilitate regular in-person team meetings, with the goal of holding at least one per month to maintain strong, organized collaboration.
Through meticulous planning and financial management, the project aims to efficiently produce 12 Nounsurfboards and 50 Nogglesboards across 2024 and 2025. Additionally, it will support active community engagement for emerging NFT projects, coordinate meetings between team members in various locations, and produce 33 Nogglesboard shirts for marketing, which will be sent along with the Nogglesboards to the NFT winners.
Rewards
I got closer to nouns with the release of illustradora.eth and gami HD nouns, so I thought it would be cool link this idea, bringing things together. I have 12 HD nouns in my portfolio, so I thought about using them in this campaign to promote noggles through authentic surfboards, so the proposal comes with a body and inspiration from other proposals made.
NounsHD started as an idea, but the deeper concept is to print authentic, beautiful Nounish NFTs directly onto the boards. We’d love for anyone in the community who wants to share the artwork from their NFT to feature on a board that will soon belong to someone, likely from our community. We think it would be a fantastic and collaborative addition!
Shipping of Nounish Surfboards: We will send 6 Nounish Surfboards worldwide through the NFT project + 2 giveaway. The estimated average cost for shipments from Brazil is approximately $320 per board, totaling about $2560 for the shipment of 8 boards.
Shipping of Nogglesboard Decks: We will ship 16 Nogglesboard decks, with 6 destined worldwide through the NFT project. The estimated cost for shipments from Brazil is approximately $160 per deck. The remaining 10 decks will be divide 5/5 shipped to Colombia and to Rio de Janeiro Lil Gnars. We will ship 5 Nogglesboard decks for the Nounish Athletes.
This planincludes all necessary shipments for the raffle winners, ensuring each board and deck is delivered safely and efficiently. The planning for sending the boards was in accordance with means that have already been achieved in the past, an average price based on companies, Correios, DHL Express, FedEx, UPS, TAM Cargo, Freight Forwarders (DB Schenker and Panalpina). Ensuring delivery within the estimated price, along with insurance remaining from the total budget for possible additional logistics
Our goal is to develop a dedicated Nogglesboard website, ensuring the credibility and quality expected from a Nouns project. This platform will play a key role in launching NFTs and providing in-depth information about the project, featuring a special Nounish section.The website will also be an essential tool to support the NFT sales process and effectively promote the Nogglesboard project, maintaining consistency and transparency throughout.
Launching the Nogglesboards NFT project on the ZORA network, leveraging BASE network for smooth circulation and enabling NFT purchases via social media. We'll establish a robust online presence through Warpcast, Twitter, Instagram, email, and a Web3 domain with NNSregistry ⌐◨-◨, sustained for at least one year. Featuring professional product photos, we'll create an authentic, nounish profile and brand that blends surf, skate, sustainability, and modern art. Our strategy includes engaging content and global communication with surfers, skaters and artists, feeding the entire Nouns ecosystem.
Capture professional studio photographs on a white background of the products for use across our social media platforms, including Instagram for NogglesBoard, Gnars, Airdrop Culture e MazeSurfcrafts, as well as for NFTs and general usability within our ecosystem like nounspace, thatsgnarly warpcast etc. Production of unique artwork designs to compose the "Nogglesboards" profile and branding, which will also be transformed into NFTs, gifs, and other digital formats. These designs will include handmade and digital creations, utilizing this platform and channel to showcase various compelling aspects of core skate and surf culture and creativity.
Produce two 10-minute short films documenting the production of Noggleboards and Nouns boards, to be shared on our social media and major surfing and skateboard platforms. These documentaries will feature the surfboard shaping process and interviews with surf and skate athletes, reflecting a poetic and philosophical style similar to the introductory film "Nogglesboard GG." Additionally, create short media for Instagram reels and Nogglesboard, emphasizing innovation through humor, nature conservation, recycling, decentralized design, and advanced technology. All content will be released under a CC0 license for community access and use.
The aim is to compile this material into press releases and portfolios for worldwide surf and skate magazines, emphasizing journalistic content related to surf, innovation, skate, creative economy, art, and NFTs, while elegantly presenting this achievement to the media in the manner characteristic of Nouns. We seek to expand worldwide visibility through this approach, highlighting the funding by NounsDAO.

lil gnars & noggles board
Purchase of a versatile wheelchair for disabled people to go to the beach. In Brazil, there are projects with adapted surfers, and the lack of help for these people is a pain that already exists both in this place and on several other beaches. The idea was to buy a chair in a quality model and stamp the Nouns da Cadeira logo on it, and give it to a surf school in Jacaraipe, a peripheral community where I live, where my friend Carlos Kill, a former world adapted surf athlete, started surf and receive help from professionals. Chairs are expensive in Brazil, and there are still a shortage of chairs if more than 1 student with motor limitations is in class.
Turtle model
The idea is to connect Icaro and Carlos Kill, a two-time world champion in parasurfing, both humble and hardworking athletes without sponsorship, with projects like Moulin Surf School or Especial Surf. Recently, Icaro earned a qualifying spot for the Adaptive Surfing World Championship next year in Honolulu, Hawaii. In addition to strengthening the parasurf scene with the modern chair financed by Nouns, the proposal is to also secure sponsorship for this event, produce Nouns/Gnars wetsuits, stickers, and assist with preparations for the major competition.
I will monitor this achievement, such as providing support to the boys make this connection, such as filming some action using the chair and sharing it with the Nouns community.
Production Cost wheelchair: 2200 USD
In conclusion, this initiative perfectly embodies the essence of Nouns, aiming to promote noggles through art, sports, public goods, recycling, and inclusive NFT projects. We have carefully crafted this proposal to maximize the benefits of blockchain technology while executing impactful projects in our beloved physical and artistic domains. We hope this proposal resonates with you and look forward to bringing this vision to life with enthusiasm alongside Nouns. LFG s2

Impressed with what Will and Zimardrp have already accomplished, and am eager to see what these passionate builders can do with some modest funding.
Love the plan to distribute the nogglesboard desks and surfboards to nounish shredders around the world, and look forward to seeing the ripple effects and content this spurs.
+1 to the suggestion to make the surfboard artwork more unique, weird, and fun vs. all PFPs, potentially even leveraging artists or existing cc0 art from the community. this board is super rad: https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJYdGtM-kl.jpg
This proposal had me re-reading multiple times to get a sense of what the goal is. I think the style of writing with overwhelming detail might be what had me doing that.
However, I think the key here for me is: should we pay these 2 gnarly/nounish contributors to do more of what they love and keep spreading the noggle love in their subcultures?
I say yes to that. The noggles board is one of the weirdest things ever, like I just didn’t get it at first, and I used to skate haha. But over time, it really clicked, it’s a rideable piece of art, a conversation piece and people like Will can actually do amazing things on one!
I do agree that bundling the surfboards and skateboards isn’t really a good move, but ultimately I get it and would probably support the separate endeavors.
I’m not super confident in any of the revenue generation aspects here, but it’s a dual subculture play for me, along with supporting some people who have stuck around for so long for the love of it all and without being paid to do so.
The budget is quite hefty relative to the current treasury and estimated in flows, so I hope if this isn’t successful, there’s some rethinking and new iterations that more people potentially feel is a valuable proposal.
There are a lot of activations that sounds like there's some magic to cultivate and bring into the world - especially the asymmetric surf boards!
I could see that being a product category that we could own and shape further.
The artwork would need to be closer to something like this:
and not the PFPs - more bespoke, weird and fun.
Very rough counter proposal would be to:
I really think there's something with the asymmetrical surfboards that is spot on for ⌐◨-◨ !!
I'm voting AGAINST because I think there's too much being aimed at at the same time, and I'd prefer to see a very sharp proposal doing 1 thing aiming at highest impact.
If this proposal doesn't pass and you're interested in working on a revised proposal, specifically focusing on the surfboards, I'd be open to support you with that (and bringing it to life).

I really enjoy the previous work from the team in Gnars and believe I can easily deliver this prop with a high level of quality. This project will have an impact on subcultures that are so Nounish of sports and great vibes. I'm very excited and would love to introduce some versatile wheelchairs to promote inclusivity."
Like the core of this prop a lot (the recycled boards), but not sold on everything else.

Will and Zima, I have deep respect for the dedication and creativity you've both bring! Your commitment to the broader community is evident, and it’s clear that this project has the potential to bring something special to the DAO! However, I’m voting "Against" for now due to the following reasons:
1.Execution Complexity: The proposal’s scope covers multiple ambitious deliverables across production, events, and website development. Drawing from my recent experience with Dreamland, I found that starting with a complex vision and later refining it into a more focused approach made it stronger and more manageable. A similar simplification here might enhance the clarity and impact of what you are aiming to achieve.
Suggestion to Split into Two Proposals: Will, your work with Nogglesboard and Zima’s vision for Nounish Surfboards both have incredible potential. Each project could stand even stronger on its own. Splitting this into two separate proposals—one for Nogglesboard and one for Nounish Surfboards—could help each initiative focus on its unique strengths, ensuring smoother execution and allowing the community to engage with each idea more deeply.
Concerns on Sponsorship: Will, I’ve seen excellent work from you, and I know you’re aligned with our community’s values. However, I am concerned about the involvement of sktbrd.eth, Vlad, or Leo Rodrigues as a sponsor. This association could bring a negative element that detracts from the project’s alignment with what Nouns stands for.
With some adjustments, I’d be excited to support this project moving forward. Thank you both (Will and Zima) for your hard work and passion—I’m confident that simplifying and focusing could make this a positive and impactful initiative.

At $1K per board I unfortunately don’t see the impact. Would love for these to be sold at that price instead of an ask for this.
If it went well, would consider a retro fund to get it into the hands of more communities. I appreciate that there’s a PR angle too but would rather roll that into funding post sale.

I believe this project has the potential to bring vibrant energy and creativity to skateboarding, surfing, and art, as well as to the Nouns community, with its innovative and fun approach. I voted yes and chose to sponsor it because Will and Zima are respected professional shredders with a solid track record. I’m confident in their ability to execute and communicate effectively as this proposal develops.
Yo supp Benjamin! Thanks for the vote and feedback, bro! The asym are really cool, revolutionary in surfing, a new model of surfing and maneuvering... besides a beautiful aesthetic and decentralized foundation hehe. aloha
In terms of painting, in reality the PFP, Nouns HD, all of this is an example of nounish applications on the board, the idea would be abstract pigmented painting with some NFT nouns image, I also love the idea of mixing artists including those from our ecosystem generating something kind of nounish? incredible. This is something I thought about following up on if the proposal were to pass as a proposal 2, the same goes for sales, after creating a hype around all of this year of work.
About exclusivity of the surfboards, we believe that the nogglesboard together adds a lot unique product… u know, Will is an artist and professional skateboarder, with very interesting networks for audiovisual and art, since we work as a team at podmedia gnars and are friends, we submitted the proposal together aiming to reach more people both inside and outside the blockchain.
I really appreciate the other feedback, bro. thanks. We certainly won't give up hehe, everything that is in the proposal is a work reality for me and Will, so nothing outside of our routine with the support of partners. Lfg ⌐◨-◨ build with the community s2

TL:DR: We will produce 50 handmade Nogglesboards and 12 Nounish Surfboards, each represented by NFTs. These NFTs will be available for purchase at a solidarity price, with buyers selected through a raffle to receive the physical boards. Profits from the sales will support NounsDAO and GnarsDAO.
Additionally, we will launch a dedicated Nogglesboard page to showcase high-quality visual content and host unique events, promoting the intersection of art, skate, surf, and fashion, while fostering deeper community engagement. As part of this, we will develop a high-quality Nogglesboard website with a professional team of developers. Over the course of the year, the site will be continuously updated with new projects, NFT releases, and necessary updates, providing a central hub for all things Nogglesboard.
Once the boards are produced, we plan to host an interactive exhibition at a local art museum, showcasing Nounish artwork on the boards alongside high-quality media presentations. We aim to fund versatile wheelchairs for disabled surfers and support two world adaptive surfing athletes.
Production of 50 Recycled Nogglesboard Handmade: Production of 12 Handcraft Nounish Surfboards, featuring high-quality videos documenting the process of both, shreeding hard.
Return earnings to the community: Each nogglesboard and Nounsurfboard will feature unique style or a artwork from NounsHD and part of them will be tokenized as NFTs pictures, buyers will compete for the board's physical archive, allowing for community engagement. While 60% will go to NounsDAO and 30% will go to GnarsDAO promoting community sustainability and artistic development, 10% of NFT sales will support the project creator.
Create a “Nogglesboard” page: (website, twitter, warpcaster, IG, e-mail, nounspace), a strong profile with a minimalist surfing and skating vibe involving our nounish aspect, with art, surfboards, skateboarding, seeking to build bridges with potential artists, surfers, skateboarders, enthusiasts who participated in the project like those who have common bond. Therefore, media material such as high quality films, photographs, reports, images of the arts, we want to share constantly in this future profile for at least 1 year as there are a lot of activities and aiming to continue this project.
Hold events with different goal: including unique Nouns arts exhibitions featuring the two projects: Noggles Board and Nounsurfboard. These events will include video premieres, explanations of the tokenization project, live music, art exhibitions, film screenings, gallery displays, "expression sessions" with Nounish surfboards and much more.
Audiovisual: Produce a variety of visual content, including lookbook photographs and NFT products, as well as two short films—one on Noggleboards and one on surfboards. Additionally, create quick videos for future Instagram reels and the Nogglesboard page, along with special designs and more. The aim is to convey an innovative approach and offer an exceptional experience to the viewer by incorporating humor, nature conservation, recycling, decentralized design, and high-level technology. This project will blend the worlds of skateboarding and surfing with a poetic and philosophical aesthetic. Provide these materials to the Nouns profile, the Gnars profile, and our community at large.
Public Goods: The project aims to secure financing for versatile wheelchairs, allowing surfers with disabilities better access to the sea. Additionally, we will organize a social action event in collaboration with a children's institution and Lil Gnars. To further strengthen community ties and support, Nogglesboards will be shipped to DH Downhill Nouns Skateboarding Colombia to engage and connect with their community. Moreover, Nogglesboards will also be distributed to athletes within the Nouns ecosystem, fostering stronger interaction and support from the broader community.
I'm Zima ARDRP ⌐◨-◨, an artist, free surfer, and Gnars athlete. I've been a huge fan and supporter of the Nouns Web3 movement. For the past six years, I've been diving deep into the world of asymmetrical surfboards in partnership with my shaper, Maze Surf Crafts. Together, we've been breaking the bubble of conventional surfboards and discovering curves that have never been explored before. I was happy to put forward a proposal to Gnars, have it succeed, and create new opportunities to strengthen and promote our community.
Our goal is to offer unique, custom boards that reflect the nouns vibe while promoting creative handmade practices. Bringing a new dimension to the surfing community through a project never before carried out in the world, which is the tolkenization of boards and customized board in high quality design with web3 technology.
Cheers, Zima ARDRP
I'm Will Dias ⌐◨-◨, artist and proskater at GnarsDAO. I'd like to share a bit about a project that has been incredibly meaningful to me: the creation of the Noggles Boards. In 2022, I had the idea of creating these boards as a way of organically spreading the Noggles vibe around the world. This was an artistic and recycling effort that I undertook voluntarily, without any external funding. I made 60 shapes, and the response was phenomenal. These boards have led to a number of positive results, including greater involvement from the skateboarding community and a wider diffusion of Noggles in a radical and artistic context.
Through the initiatives combined with community engagement and public goods, Sopa de Letras Square has become a more vibrant and dynamic place for skateboarders and community members. In addition, this funding was provided by Gnars for the construction and maintenance of obstacles and structures in and around the square.
Given the strong acceptance and enthusiasm from both skaters and the community, I’m excited to propose something even bigger for the future.
Our goal is to continue merging technology, art, sports, and sustainability to create something truly impactful through the production and development of authentic Noggleboards. We hope you enjoy this proposal, crafted with care and honesty, as we look forward to bringing even more awesome projects to life for the community.
Cheers, Will Dias
We are great friends, and together we could develop projects like the "Gnars Contest: Best Noggles Montage" among other achievements in a good flow of creation. We've had many cool ideas, but many of them require a high budget to be fully realized. However, this current proposal is very special to us because it combines two projects we are deeply passionate about.
The objective of this proposal is to create something awesome for the community, combining what we do at Gnars as athletes and artists. To give all developers, builders, and artists the opportunity to engage in sports like surfing, with a completely authentic and customized board featuring a NounsHD, or even skating with a unique noggles skateboard, or simply displaying it as art at home.
Moreover, the nogglesboards are recyclable, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and innovation. We strive to create something meaningful and inspiring that not only benefits the community, but also leaves a lasting impact on skateboarding, surfing and arts culture by promoting eco-friendly and creative practices.
Nogglesboard improvement point:
Given the latest productions noting the sensitivity of nogglesboards for more performant maneuvers, aiming at a longer useful life, this production consists of the insertion of a reinforcement in the lower part, more sensitive, made of metal, guaranteeing extra safety and longevity. :)
Production Cost: 100 USD per unit (management work for recycling, carpentry, painting, final finishing and packaging).
The raw material in question is the skate board, and it comes from a recyclable source, I established links to receive this raw material in a way that can help, and develop something cool in parallel. The 50 future nogglesboards will come from:
Donation from Stores and Partners on the outskirts of São Paulo, enabling these stores to strengthen an innovative Web3 movement. (Soma, Bless skate shop, Mera Skateshop)
From Movement within the Skatehive community, which is a partner of Gnars, seeking this Shape Collection. The event in Skatehive is great because it attracts many active web3 users.
Exchange Program for interested parties to obtain the Noggleboard, promoting the recycling scene. This program involves giving an old skateboard deck in exchange for a new nogglesboard. It is a very attractive initiative for the first 15 people who participate.
This multifaceted approach ensures that the Nogglesboard becomes more than just a product, it becomes a symbol of innovation, creativity, and social responsibility.

I wrote on Hive under the link "Asymmetric Boards" a text that explains more why I think it's interesting to link this board model with the nouns ecosystem. On my hive profile you can also see other research and reports around the artistic world of surfing, such as environmental preservation and sustainability issues and projects.
"Asymmetrical boards revolutionized the surfing world by challenging closed conventions. With their innovative designs and intentional asymmetries, they opened up new possibilities for maneuvers and experiences for surfers. Likewise, the Web3 movement and the punk spirit are shaking up the centralized structures of the internet."
The plan is to create a total of 12 NFT files, including 6 Nounsurfboards with NounsHD at the bottom and another 6 Nogglesboards with unique paintings. One of the art buyers or project supporters will be selected to win the physical board at home. The NFTs will be created on Layer 2 Base, enabling mints with different coins and integration with Farcaster. A solidarity price of 0.0007 ETH will be set, as the aim is also to give back to the community's treasure.
Once the proposal is approved and the Nounsurfboards and Nogglesboards are produced, we will begin sharing more details about the project on our Warpcast, IG, and with Gnars and our partners. We will communicate with the winners of the NFT project through a dedicated channel on the Gnars server called "Nogglesboard," providing detailed information such as shipping, addresses, and more.
The project will also address essential operational costs, including logistics, piped gas, additional equipment, and cloud storage for the Nogglesboard profile. A significant investment will be made in a new hood machine ("maquita") for cutting the boards and in acquiring new materials for the shaping room to ensure top-quality production. Short trips between Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, and São Paulo will facilitate regular in-person team meetings, with the goal of holding at least one per month to maintain strong, organized collaboration.
Through meticulous planning and financial management, the project aims to efficiently produce 12 Nounsurfboards and 50 Nogglesboards across 2024 and 2025. Additionally, it will support active community engagement for emerging NFT projects, coordinate meetings between team members in various locations, and produce 33 Nogglesboard shirts for marketing, which will be sent along with the Nogglesboards to the NFT winners.
Rewards
I got closer to nouns with the release of illustradora.eth and gami HD nouns, so I thought it would be cool link this idea, bringing things together. I have 12 HD nouns in my portfolio, so I thought about using them in this campaign to promote noggles through authentic surfboards, so the proposal comes with a body and inspiration from other proposals made.
NounsHD started as an idea, but the deeper concept is to print authentic, beautiful Nounish NFTs directly onto the boards. We’d love for anyone in the community who wants to share the artwork from their NFT to feature on a board that will soon belong to someone, likely from our community. We think it would be a fantastic and collaborative addition!
Shipping of Nounish Surfboards: We will send 6 Nounish Surfboards worldwide through the NFT project + 2 giveaway. The estimated average cost for shipments from Brazil is approximately $320 per board, totaling about $2560 for the shipment of 8 boards.
Shipping of Nogglesboard Decks: We will ship 16 Nogglesboard decks, with 6 destined worldwide through the NFT project. The estimated cost for shipments from Brazil is approximately $160 per deck. The remaining 10 decks will be divide 5/5 shipped to Colombia and to Rio de Janeiro Lil Gnars. We will ship 5 Nogglesboard decks for the Nounish Athletes.
This planincludes all necessary shipments for the raffle winners, ensuring each board and deck is delivered safely and efficiently. The planning for sending the boards was in accordance with means that have already been achieved in the past, an average price based on companies, Correios, DHL Express, FedEx, UPS, TAM Cargo, Freight Forwarders (DB Schenker and Panalpina). Ensuring delivery within the estimated price, along with insurance remaining from the total budget for possible additional logistics
Our goal is to develop a dedicated Nogglesboard website, ensuring the credibility and quality expected from a Nouns project. This platform will play a key role in launching NFTs and providing in-depth information about the project, featuring a special Nounish section.The website will also be an essential tool to support the NFT sales process and effectively promote the Nogglesboard project, maintaining consistency and transparency throughout.
Launching the Nogglesboards NFT project on the ZORA network, leveraging BASE network for smooth circulation and enabling NFT purchases via social media. We'll establish a robust online presence through Warpcast, Twitter, Instagram, email, and a Web3 domain with NNSregistry ⌐◨-◨, sustained for at least one year. Featuring professional product photos, we'll create an authentic, nounish profile and brand that blends surf, skate, sustainability, and modern art. Our strategy includes engaging content and global communication with surfers, skaters and artists, feeding the entire Nouns ecosystem.
Capture professional studio photographs on a white background of the products for use across our social media platforms, including Instagram for NogglesBoard, Gnars, Airdrop Culture e MazeSurfcrafts, as well as for NFTs and general usability within our ecosystem like nounspace, thatsgnarly warpcast etc. Production of unique artwork designs to compose the "Nogglesboards" profile and branding, which will also be transformed into NFTs, gifs, and other digital formats. These designs will include handmade and digital creations, utilizing this platform and channel to showcase various compelling aspects of core skate and surf culture and creativity.
Produce two 10-minute short films documenting the production of Noggleboards and Nouns boards, to be shared on our social media and major surfing and skateboard platforms. These documentaries will feature the surfboard shaping process and interviews with surf and skate athletes, reflecting a poetic and philosophical style similar to the introductory film "Nogglesboard GG." Additionally, create short media for Instagram reels and Nogglesboard, emphasizing innovation through humor, nature conservation, recycling, decentralized design, and advanced technology. All content will be released under a CC0 license for community access and use.
The aim is to compile this material into press releases and portfolios for worldwide surf and skate magazines, emphasizing journalistic content related to surf, innovation, skate, creative economy, art, and NFTs, while elegantly presenting this achievement to the media in the manner characteristic of Nouns. We seek to expand worldwide visibility through this approach, highlighting the funding by NounsDAO.

lil gnars & noggles board
Purchase of a versatile wheelchair for disabled people to go to the beach. In Brazil, there are projects with adapted surfers, and the lack of help for these people is a pain that already exists both in this place and on several other beaches. The idea was to buy a chair in a quality model and stamp the Nouns da Cadeira logo on it, and give it to a surf school in Jacaraipe, a peripheral community where I live, where my friend Carlos Kill, a former world adapted surf athlete, started surf and receive help from professionals. Chairs are expensive in Brazil, and there are still a shortage of chairs if more than 1 student with motor limitations is in class.
Turtle model
The idea is to connect Icaro and Carlos Kill, a two-time world champion in parasurfing, both humble and hardworking athletes without sponsorship, with projects like Moulin Surf School or Especial Surf. Recently, Icaro earned a qualifying spot for the Adaptive Surfing World Championship next year in Honolulu, Hawaii. In addition to strengthening the parasurf scene with the modern chair financed by Nouns, the proposal is to also secure sponsorship for this event, produce Nouns/Gnars wetsuits, stickers, and assist with preparations for the major competition.
I will monitor this achievement, such as providing support to the boys make this connection, such as filming some action using the chair and sharing it with the Nouns community.
Production Cost wheelchair: 2200 USD
In conclusion, this initiative perfectly embodies the essence of Nouns, aiming to promote noggles through art, sports, public goods, recycling, and inclusive NFT projects. We have carefully crafted this proposal to maximize the benefits of blockchain technology while executing impactful projects in our beloved physical and artistic domains. We hope this proposal resonates with you and look forward to bringing this vision to life with enthusiasm alongside Nouns. LFG s2
