Introduction
In the version 2 proposal for Nogglesboard, we've incorporated community feedback by reducing the number of deliverables and streamlining the vision to make it more focused and impactful. Builders Willdias and Zimardrp are teaming up for the Nounish project, creating Noggles for both the sea and the streets, alongside a wealth of creative content.
The project now centers around an Art x Surf, Skate, and Crypto campaign, with three key actions:
Action 1: Collaborating with new Artists for Nounish Surfboards
We will invite five talented artists to contribute to a unique Nounish initiative, creating custom surfboard designs inspired by NFTs, traits, open-source materials, and the vibrant Nouns community. The artists will come from various backgrounds and artistic disciplines.
- Frederico Carvalho ARS (Graphic Designer)
- Anastasia Toorina (Visual Artist)
- José Pedro Diguila (Painter)
- João Lírio Jota (Lettering & Sketching)
- Vitor Bueno Buena Vista (Tattoo Artist & Graffiti Artist)
Each artist will be compensated for their creations and guided by Zimardrp and Willdias, who will offer creative support and insights. Together, they will craft a narrative that unites handcrafted surfboards, art, and blockchain in a groundbreaking way. From this collaboration, three surfboards will be donated to prominent athletes, including:
- Jéssica Bianca (Professional Female Surf Circuit Athlete)
- Ícaro Lasas (Adaptive Surf Athlete)
- Tunico Lopez (Free Surf Young Traveler)
- Two surfboards will remain with Zimardrp. These athlete friends were chosen for content creation, interactions with Gnars and Nounish partners, and the Nogglesboard community. They are actively involved in surf competitions and passionately create surf content, embodying the true and energetic Nounish vibe.
Action 2: Community Driven Nounish Surfboard
A specific round will be launched on Warpcast, allocating 1 ETH to the theme of free art 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 community to help curate the selection, ensuring inclusivity and diversity in the artworks chosen 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, acting as a media vehicle in the surf world while highlighting Nouns' innovative approach to custom surfboard culture.
This campaign amplifies the artistic and community-driven ethos of Nouns while paving the way for the intersection of handcrafted surfboards, art, and blockchain innovation. It connects communities within the Nouns ecosystem and financially incentivizes artists to create beautiful works, ensuring their permanent feature on the boards.
Action 3: Nogglesboard dynamics
The Nogglesboard action involves creating 25 unique pieces to be donated through Nogglesboard partners and the Nouns ecosystem to various events. Additionally, a cinematic documentary will be produced, featuring artist Will Dias as he crafts and hand-paints the Nogglesboards for Nounish initiatives. The film will explore his involvement with the community, drawing inspiration from his latest work, Disorder, and solo creative content showcasing the Nogglesboards, amplifying their uniqueness and impact. "Noggles Streetknowledge.".
All this media content will be published on-chain, powered by NounsDAO.
- The Nogglesboard has become a standout presence in our journey, appearing prominently in videos, events, and presentations. Beyond its visual appeal, it is crafted from recyclable materials, promoting sustainability by combining usability with repurposed elements—a core value of our project. Its vibrant colors and unique designs inspire creativity and positivity, while its distinctiveness as a "self-moving" skateboard showcases its innovative potential and maneuverability.
Production Cost: 100 USD per unit

Action Strategy:
-
Boosting and Promoting the Nogglesboard Profile: Create the NNS Nogglesboard and prepare the pre-campaign for Nounish Surfboards and Nogglesboard.

Fabrication of Nogglesboards: Produce 6 Nounish Surfboards (4 Asymmetrical, 2 Twin Fin) and 25 Nogglesboards, documenting the handcrafted shaping process with interviews.
-
Hosting Artists: Invite artists to collaborate in a Nounish experience with food, art, handshaping, and idea exchange. Document the process audiovisually.
-
Nogglesboard Rounds: Organize a freetheme round between Gnars and Nouns for designing a Nounish Surfboard to be auctioned physically via NFT. Create on-chain audiovisual content.
-
Post-Art Creation Process: Continue the shaping process after finalizing designs, incorporating artwork onto boards. Record the process and produce audiovisual content with interviews.
-
Exhibition and Premiere: Host an art exhibition featuring the Nounish Surfboards and Nogglesboards, with food, DJ, and Nounish vibes.
-
Media Creation: Generate impactful short media for NFTs and social channels, collaborating with partners and artists.
-
Documentary Scope: Organize initial documentary footage, followed by the test and performance phase. Collect feedback and produce a final compilation with interviews on creativity and innovation.
-
Pre-Campaign for NFT Sales: Use exhibition video and short media to drive the pre-sale campaign for the Nounish Surfboard NFT, featuring the physical piece with a contract split with Nouns.
-
Giveaway for Raffle Winners: Send the winner a Nounish Surfboard, Nogglesboard shirt, Special Nogglesboard card, and a recycled Nogglesboard.
-
Ongoing Media and Communication: Continue media outreach, creating regular NFTs and promoting through various channels. Maintain communication with partners, artists, athletes, and the community, focusing on global distribution of the documentary blending handshaping, sports, recycling, art, and blockchain. Plan a special premiere to celebrate the launch.
The constant partners of the proposal for the Nogglesboard project include Gnars, Airdrop Culture e MazeSurfcrafts, "Nogglesboard GG.", We Collective, Item Filmes. Expand this achievement to magazines and artistic print media. Last Works Made by this team: De Olinda 36, products 1, 2, NFT Teaser, Digital Surf Column, Live Exhibition in Portugal.
One of the key elements of this proposal is the unique appeal of asymmetrical, twinfin, hand shaped custom boards, celebrated both as artistic objects and high performance gear. There's a strong connection between surfing enthusiasts and various artistic fields. Integrating this with a Nounish/crypto experience, where the boards become artistic canvases, introduces an innovative and engaging concept. We're excited to move forward with this project, ensuring steady progress and careful planning to continue the journey with Nounish artistic boards and Nogglesboards!
This is an introductory concept for incorporating artworks based on the initial community feedback from the first proposal. Not just PFPs, but a variety of Nounish creations from both actions will be featured, covering the top and bottom of the surfboard. These designs will be applied before the resin, permanently embedding them into the board. These boards will not only impress with the waves they ride but also make their mark on the blockchain through photos, GIFs, NFTs, and the innovative storytelling of NounsDAO. They combine artistry, creativity, and cutting edge narratives, bringing together the physical and digital worlds.
