we've been looking at your characters and connecting with LiL for some time now, I think it's important to have assets, creators or designers on the track that can easily be linked to Lil, I also liked the rest of the prop bro K1MMY. aloha
# Nogglesboard Propdate IV
This is the fourth Propdate for the Noggleboards Nounish Surfboards Proposal (Prop 752).
Big thanks to everyone who’s supported it and helped shape its progress so far 🙏 **LFG.**
## Nounish Surfboards Update
The moment has finally arrived, Nounish fam. 🫡 The Nounish Surfboards are officially finished, carrying all 7 artworks developed through 7 different creative directions.
Six invited artists were brought into the Nouns community, introduced to the project, and took part in the process from concept to final artwork. The seventh board follows the WAGMI model, with its design selected through a DAO pool, featuring artworks that came out of the Nouns GG rounds, where artists submitted their work, were selected, and were compensated for their contributions, just like the six physical artists.
The boards are currently in Rio de Janeiro, while our team is based in Espírito Santo. I’m now wrapping up the final logistics to head down, pick them up, and start sending them to different destinations across Brazil, from the Northeast to the South, including Ubatuba, São Paulo before some of them eventually make their way to Indonesia and other parts of the world.
*The WAGMI model will remain available for a DAO-driven dynamic, potential sale, and further work around the product, as originally outlined in the proposal.*
You can take a closer look at the process in the videos below. The response from both the **art community and the alternative surf scene** has been really positive, and people have been especially stoked on the videos and the production process.

- [Pigmented cutlap lamination on the Hash 3. 🍄 The Amanita Muscaria is a 5’3” × 18.2” × 2.1” asymmetrical parallelogram built for regular-foot surfer @jessbianca_, The board features the Transcendental Nounish Wizard artwork by @victorbueno.tattoo](https://www.instagram.com/p/Dbdc5sEv8tz/)
When it came to the **lamination**, one of the final stages of the process was carried out using the **cut-lap technique**. We decided to develop a specific color palette for each board, connecting the deck and bottom rails with the artwork created by each artist.
It’s been a great experience being involved in the entire process, from inviting and onboarding the artists, introducing them to the Nogglesboard Guidelines to Nouns, coordinating calls and physical meetups, all the way through the artwork development, lamination, and construction of the boards.
*[Special video created by the artist Ingllithy, documenting the artwork process, painting by hand.](https://www.instagram.com/p/DbEDS_RMhT4/)*
It is important to highlight that the project includes a total of seven surfboards, while the six designs mentioned above are based on digital artworks. To complete the set, the seventh board will feature an original, fully handcrafted design by the artisan artist Ingllithy Pio.
## Nogglesboard Art/Surf Event III
| Keep it | Nounish AF |
|--------|-----------|
|  | Nogglesboard made its way to another nighttime event bringing together art, surf, sustainability, and audiovisual culture. We had the opportunity to showcase part of the project through a selection of jackets, Nounish objects, surfboards, and Noggles-shaped skate decks, bringing the physical side of the project into a creative environment.
Shoutout to bigshotkim glasses for being such an important part of this entire journey. The glasses have been there since the very beginning, from onboarding the 6 artists, the shaper, and the 6 surfers involved in the project, to becoming part of the special kits for everyone who picked up the jacket, t-shirt, and soap, receiving the glasses as well.
They added so much to the project, and they still do. One of my favorite examples was during the film screening, where we placed two builders wearing the glasses, standing still in the middle of the amphitheater as if they were simply watching the movie. It immediately caught everyone's attention.
Later, when the project was officially presented, people naturally connected the glasses and silhouette to the Nogglesboard identity and logo without needing any explanation. It's a small object, but it became a powerful visual symbol throughout the whole experience.

## Next Steps
As the final phase of the project, we still need to conduct a professional photoshoot of the finished boards and capture the final footage for the *WAGMI: Nogglesboard Movie* documentary, followed by the logistics of handling the boards. [Check out the special page on the website.](https://www.nogglesboard.wtf/waves/wagmi-teaser)
- [Check out the teaser released in partnership with the film production company and other partners of the nogglesboard project here.](https://www.instagram.com/p/DchTjqBvUBM/)
Beyond promoting this within the worlds of surfing, sports, technology, and innovation, via blogs and press releases, we also aim to make an impact in the film and independent production sectors. Building on the momentum of my initial project with Gnars/Nouns (as detailed in the latest "propdate"), we are developing a professional-grade film for submission to major festivals and for wider distribution.
- [Check out the short film *Disorder II*, now available on our website and platforms.](https://www.nogglesboard.wtf/waves/disorder-2)
To further promote the project, additional channels were established to share the teaser beyond Instagram, including a "[Droposal](https://www.gnars.com/pt-br/proposals/base/127)" on Gnars and a feature on Gnars TV (which has launched a partnership with Morpheus) as well as posts on our website's blog, integrated with our YouTube channel.

## Social Media & Comms:
To better expand the project’s reach, Nogglesboard profiles were created across Web2 and Web3 platforms, sharing both project updates and additional content from the Nouns ecosystem with support from partners. Each profile speaks in a different voice to connect with specific audiences, with the goal of staying active and engaging across the intersections of surfing, art, skateboarding, and blockchain. We invite you to follow along and stay up to date with everything Nogglesboard is building.

We see Nogglesboard as a lasting and genuine project that deserves to live beyond just a website with dedicated social channels, claiming its rightful space both online and onchain, follow us to more updates e nounish vibes ⌐◨-◨
**Aloha ⌐◨-◨**
imo funding hot dogs isn't the right cultural fit for Lil. Combined with the public health concerns surrounding excessive consumption of processed foods, it's impossible to support.
Resubmitting Onchain ⌐◨-◨
After spending the past week in the Candidate stage, we're excited to resubmit this proposal onchain.
We believe this project creates long-term value for Lil Nouns by building creative infrastructure that will continue benefiting the DAO well beyond the grant itself.
1) Why we're resubmitting
- Build a permanent archive of high-quality films, photography, and open-source physical products around Lil Nouns.
- Create reusable CC0 media that the DAO and future builders can freely use.
- Support artists, filmmakers, designers, and builders through meaningful paid work.
- Expand Lil Nouns' presence across social media, IRL activations, crypto events, and creative partnerships.
We were grateful for the support during the last proposal, but unfortunately we didn't reach quorum. Over the past weeks, we refined the proposal based on community discussions and feedback.
2) What's changed from 1st Draft Prop:
- Reduced the budget by over 7,000 USDC by removing several deliverables.
- Shifted the project's main focus toward producing original mini-films that tell the story behind each Lil Nouns product.
- Simplified the scope to improve execution and deliver higher-quality outputs.
- Refined the physical products strategy to focus on selling products at crypto events and to partners and members of the Lil Nouns ecosystem, while producing
- small-batch collaborative merch with artists and project partners to strengthen community engagement and cultural reach.
We believe this version is more focused, more efficient, and better aligned with the vision we've been discussing with the community.
We hope you enjoy the updated proposal.
LFG Lil! ⌐◨-◨ Keep it weird and vibes.
# LiL NoGgLesBoARd v2
## 1. TL;DR
Nogglesboard proposes a 10-month Lil Nouns cultural expansion focused on creating physical products and original media that showcase the creativity of Lil Nouns artists, builders, and contributors.
The project combines the production of CC0 physical products with high-quality films that document their creation, stories, and real-world use. By connecting physical objects, video content, and digital distribution, each product becomes both a cultural artifact and a media asset, helping introduce Lil Nouns to new audiences through art, design, sports, and community-driven storytelling. The initiative aims to expand Lil Nouns' cultural presence while creating reusable content, products, and narratives that can support the DAO across social channels, events, partnerships, and future ecosystem growth.

## 2. Nogglesboard History
Nogglesboard began with upcycled skate decks and viral content alongside [Will Dias](https://willdias.hotglue.me/), channeling a raw, playful energy that quickly resonated across the DAO. Blending skateboarding, internet native creativity, and the nounish spirit in a way that felt authentic both IRL and URL.
That energy expanded with [Prop 752](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/752), when we merged into surf through [Zimardrp](https://www.instagram.com/joaoparmagnani/), unlocking a new wave of experimentation with nounish surfboards, content creation, physical products, and a growing stream of content and real world activations. Along the way, Nogglesboard became a consistent presence in the DAO: building, shipping, collaborating, and connecting with a wider network of artists, surfers, skaters and partness like [Airdrop Culture](https://www.instagram.com/airdrop.culture), [Maze Surf Crafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts), [Gnars DAO](https://www.gnars.com/nogglesrails), and [Higher](https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/higher).

## 4. Nogglesboard LiL Products Plan
*The idea is to direct the design and narrative of these products to go directly to LiL Nouns, using keywords, profiles, and mentioned websites like [lilnouns.wtf](https://lilnouns.wtf/) [lils.wtf ](https://lils.wtf/)[lilnouns.camp](https://lilnouns.camp/) and opensea.io/collection/lil-nouns.*
### 1. Upcycled LiL Wooden Products
- "*LilNouns: Objects of Utility. From Skateboard to Artifact*" Movie
- Production of **5 upcycled wooden sandal pairs** and **5 wooden sunglasses**, developed from recycled materials.
- Make how to LiL open-source available so that other dao builders can produce it at a later time. in addition to professionalizing the products.
- Dedicated video content documenting the design and manufacturing process, connecting sustainability and craftsmanship culture funded and support by LIl Nouns.
- Utilize the products for the nexts activations, community engagement, and ecosystem visibility.
### 2. LiL Surfboard & Storytelling for LiL
- "*LiL Waves, A New Line*" Movie
- Production of **1 custom LiL Nouns surfboard** for surfer [Ana Dagostin](https://www.instagram.com/aninhadagostini/reels/).
- Creation of a flagship surf film and interview series showcasing how **LiL Nouns supports artists, athletes, and creators** through cultural initiatives such as Nogglesboard, inspired on this one
- Content designed to promote the DAO through surf/artistic culture and authentic storytelling.
### 3. Artistic Collectible Series
- "*Lil Artistic Soap Documentary*" Movie

- **Separate the 100 produced, 15 to send to builders and special artists, and 85 to sell for $11 each, totaling an approximate return of $850 USD for the DAO. By paying the investment value of the soap plus $350, the idea is to return the $850 back to LIL. Create a special LiL Soap wallet to receive the funds.**
### 4. Live Motion QR Code for Lilnouns.wtf
- "*QR to LiLNouns, Riding Weird"* Movie
- Zima, own the asymmetrical surfboard produced through Gnars, the first nogglesboard asymmetrical created onchain. It remains in excellent condition and features QR codes on both the front and back.

## 4.1 Digital Products (Media Activation)
### Proposed Film Outputs
**1)** *A design-driven film documenting the transformation of broken skateboards into handcrafted Lil Nouns sandals and wooden sunglasses. The narrative explores upcycling, craftsmanship, skate culture, and physical product creation as a reflection of Lil Nouns' creative spirit, while highlighting how the DAO empowers artists through funding, proposals, and onchain collaboration, enabling creators to develop meaningful work, experiment with new ideas, and bring cultural projects into the real world.*
**2)** *A playful and visually engaging surf film following 12-year-old surfer Ana Dagostin as she receives and rides a custom Lil Nouns surfboard. Built around fun surfing sessions, creative visuals, and a brief interview, the film introduces Ana's journey as a young athlete while showcasing how Lil Nouns supports artists, athletes, and creators through community funding and onchain opportunities, using the surfboard as a tangible symbol of that impact.*
**3)** *A raw, underground-style surf short featuring Zima riding the Gnarsym 001, blending lo-fi surf cinematography with experimental storytelling. During the session, the surfboard’s QR code becomes an interactive gateway to Lil Nouns, where a passerby on the beach scans it and is guided into purchasing a Lil Nouns NFT. The film connects physical surf culture, spontaneous real-world interaction, and onchain discovery, presenting Lil Nouns through a technical yet poetic lens rooted in independent surf cinema and digital-native culture.*
**4)** *A documentary-style piece covering the artist crreation, onchain submissions, 3D design process, soap production, and the transformation of embedded artworks into collectible objects and keychains. The film highlights community participation and creative experimentation within the Lil ecosystem.*
**5)** *A high-quality event film documenting Lil Nouns representation at a major crypto gathering, including product activations, community engagement, ecosystem connections, and media designed to expand Lil Nouns visibility beyond the cripto event itself.*
*Examples of previous works that serve as creative and technical references for these future 3–5 minute high-quality Lil Nouns films. Product Storytelling Campaigns - [1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZzrem2aKzE&t=0s),[2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgL8AX7kKRE),[3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD73orUPDls),[4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1PEXLdM0Og),[5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRXb_-XXNBk)*
#### CC0 Media Contribution
We believe this would be a valuable contribution to Lil Nouns by helping the DAO occupy more space across the internet through authentic creations that build long-term cultural value. By intentionally including “Lil Nouns” in film titles and producing original stories around artists, products, events, and onchain culture, the project expands the DAO’s visibility, discoverability, and cultural footprint across search engines, social platforms, video platforms, and AI-driven systems. All films, photography, interviews, and creative assets will be released under **CC0**, creating a permanent, reusable media archive that strengthens Lil Nouns’ storytelling, supports future contributors, and preserves the history and evolution of the DAO for years to come.
#### CC0 Media Distribution Plan
- **Pre-Release Content:** Share behind-the-scenes content, product development, artist spotlights, and production updates to build anticipation.
- **Teaser Campaigns:** Publish short trailers, photography, and social media previews ahead of each film release.
- **Film Launches:** Release full films with optimized titles, descriptions, metadata, and Lil Nouns branding across video platforms.
- **Content Repurposing:** Transform each film into reels, shorts, clips, photography posts, quotes, and educational content.
- **Search & AI Visibility:** Publish blogs, transcripts, captions, and written summaries to improve discoverability across search engines and AI systems.
- **Community Amplification:** Encourage featured artists, riders, builders, partners, and community members to share and remix CC0 content.
- **Permanent CC0 Archive:** Maintain public access to all films, photos, interviews, and media assets as reusable resources for the Lil Nouns ecosystem.
**Production & Development Partners**
- [Precious Plastic Espírito Santo](https://www.instagram.com/preciousplastic.es/): product construction development, including nounish-inspired lens applications, finishing techniques, and structural experimentation for the wooden glasses line.
- [Maze Surfcrafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts): production partner for the Lil Asymmetrical surfboard.
- [Surf on Wood](https://www.instagram.com/surfonwood/): technical collaboration and craftsmanship support for the development of wooden glasses and recycled skateboard sandals.
- [Proart Gráfica](https://www.instagram.com/proart.grafica/): production partner for [Noggles keychains](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4LHcL8rvLl/), printed materials, stickers, and [recyclable wax comb prototyping](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxJW5jQPnBc/).Due to his expertise with CNC, laser cutting, and fabrication processes, he is a valuable contact who can contribute significantly to product development and finishing quality.
- [Item Filmes](https://www.instagram.com/itemfilmes) Audio Visual Studio and [Renan Carvalho](https://www.instagram.com/renanmatic/) Director for the development of the 5 special clips.
## 5. IRL Activation
The proposal includes one strategic cultural activation focused on expanding Lil Nouns' visibility through real-world presence, media production, and community engagement. The team would participate in a major crypto and cultural gathering such as **[ETH Latam](https://www.instagram.com/ethlatam/)**, representing Lil Nouns through apparel, product showcases, stickers, and community interactions within existing Web3 and creative ecosystems. Alongside the activation, the team will produce a series of short-form media assets and one dedicated high-quality horizontal film documenting the experience, helping extend Lil Nouns’ presence beyond the event itself and creating reusable content for social channels, websites, archives, and future community initiatives. The activation will be executed through a lean, mobility-focused structure, prioritizing a small core team, efficient travel planning, and localized resources to maximize cultural impact and media output while maintaining cost efficiency.
**Budget Summary ($1,500 total):**
- Event Participation, Travel & Local Logistics (2 Lil Builders): $600
- High-Quality Video Production & Media Capture: $350
- Lil Nouns Stickers & Merch for sale/distribution: $350

lil-nogglesboard-v2
Lil Nouns fam,
We’ve resubmitted our proposal as a candidate for your review. This updated version has been further refined based on the feedback and discussions from the first round, with one activation removed, a more polished execution plan, and a reduced overall budget.
We truly appreciated the positive conversations and support around our initial proposal, and we’d love the opportunity to continue building with the Lil Nouns community. We believe this project can make a meaningful contribution through authentic storytelling, creative products, and cultural activations that extend Lil Nouns into new spaces and audiences.
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our updated proposal. We’re excited to keep learning how to lil, improving, and contributing alongside the community.
⌐◨-◨ 💜
# LiL NoGgLesBoARd v2
## 1. TL;DR
Nogglesboard proposes a 10-month Lil Nouns cultural expansion focused on creating physical products and original media that showcase the creativity of Lil Nouns artists, builders, and contributors.
The project combines the production of CC0 physical products with high-quality films that document their creation, stories, and real-world use. By connecting physical objects, video content, and digital distribution, each product becomes both a cultural artifact and a media asset, helping introduce Lil Nouns to new audiences through art, design, sports, and community-driven storytelling. The initiative aims to expand Lil Nouns' cultural presence while creating reusable content, products, and narratives that can support the DAO across social channels, events, partnerships, and future ecosystem growth.

## 2. Nogglesboard History
Nogglesboard began with upcycled skate decks and viral content alongside [Will Dias](https://willdias.hotglue.me/), channeling a raw, playful energy that quickly resonated across the DAO. Blending skateboarding, internet native creativity, and the nounish spirit in a way that felt authentic both IRL and URL.
That energy expanded with [Prop 752](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/752), when we merged into surf through [Zimardrp](https://www.instagram.com/joaoparmagnani/), unlocking a new wave of experimentation with nounish surfboards, content creation, physical products, and a growing stream of content and real world activations. Along the way, Nogglesboard became a consistent presence in the DAO: building, shipping, collaborating, and connecting with a wider network of artists, surfers, skaters and partness like [Airdrop Culture](https://www.instagram.com/airdrop.culture), [Maze Surf Crafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts), [Gnars DAO](https://www.gnars.com/nogglesrails), and [Higher](https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/higher).

## 4. Nogglesboard LiL Products Plan
*The idea is to direct the design and narrative of these products to go directly to LiL Nouns, using keywords, profiles, and mentioned websites like [lilnouns.wtf](https://lilnouns.wtf/) [lils.wtf ](https://lils.wtf/)[lilnouns.camp](https://lilnouns.camp/) and opensea.io/collection/lil-nouns.*
### 1. Upcycled LiL Wooden Products
- "*LilNouns: Objects of Utility. From Skateboard to Artifact*" Movie
- Production of **5 upcycled wooden sandal pairs** and **5 wooden sunglasses**, developed from recycled materials.
- Make how to LiL open-source available so that other dao builders can produce it at a later time. in addition to professionalizing the products.
- Dedicated video content documenting the design and manufacturing process, connecting sustainability and craftsmanship culture funded and support by LIl Nouns.
- Utilize the products for the nexts activations, community engagement, and ecosystem visibility.
### 2. LiL Surfboard & Storytelling for LiL
- "*LiL Waves, A New Line*" Movie
- Production of **1 custom LiL Nouns surfboard** for surfer [Ana Dagostin](https://www.instagram.com/aninhadagostini/reels/).
- Creation of a flagship surf film and interview series showcasing how **LiL Nouns supports artists, athletes, and creators** through cultural initiatives such as Nogglesboard, inspired on this one
- Content designed to promote the DAO through surf/artistic culture and authentic storytelling.
### 3. Artistic Collectible Series

- **Separate the 100 produced, 15 to send to builders and special artists, and 85 to sell for $11 each, totaling an approximate return of $850 USD for the DAO. By paying the investment value of the soap plus $350, the idea is to return the $850 back to LIL. Create a special LiL Soap wallet to receive the funds.**
### 4. Live Motion QR Code for Lilnouns.wtf
- "*QR to LiLNouns, Riding Weird"* Movie
- Zima, own the asymmetrical surfboard produced through Gnars, the first nogglesboard asymmetrical created onchain. It remains in excellent condition and features QR codes on both the front and back.

## 4.1 Digital Products (Media Activation)
### Proposed Film Outputs
**1)** *A design-driven film documenting the transformation of broken skateboards into handcrafted Lil Nouns sandals and wooden sunglasses. The narrative explores upcycling, craftsmanship, skate culture, and physical product creation as a reflection of Lil Nouns' creative spirit, while highlighting how the DAO empowers artists through funding, proposals, and onchain collaboration, enabling creators to develop meaningful work, experiment with new ideas, and bring cultural projects into the real world.*
**2)** *A playful and visually engaging surf film following 12-year-old surfer Ana Dagostin as she receives and rides a custom Lil Nouns surfboard. Built around fun surfing sessions, creative visuals, and a brief interview, the film introduces Ana's journey as a young athlete while showcasing how Lil Nouns supports artists, athletes, and creators through community funding and onchain opportunities, using the surfboard as a tangible symbol of that impact.*
**3)** *A raw, underground-style surf short featuring Zima riding the Gnarsym 001, blending lo-fi surf cinematography with experimental storytelling. During the session, the surfboard’s QR code becomes an interactive gateway to Lil Nouns, where a passerby on the beach scans it and is guided into purchasing a Lil Nouns NFT. The film connects physical surf culture, spontaneous real-world interaction, and onchain discovery, presenting Lil Nouns through a technical yet poetic lens rooted in independent surf cinema and digital-native culture.*
**4)** *A documentary-style piece covering the artist crreation, onchain submissions, 3D design process, soap production, and the transformation of embedded artworks into collectible objects and keychains. The film highlights community participation and creative experimentation within the Lil ecosystem.*
**5)** *A high-quality event film documenting Lil Nouns representation at a major crypto gathering, including product activations, community engagement, ecosystem connections, and media designed to expand Lil Nouns visibility beyond the cripto event itself.*
*Examples of previous works that serve as creative and technical references for these future 3–5 minute high-quality Lil Nouns films.

#### CC0 Media Contribution
We believe this would be a valuable contribution to Lil Nouns by helping the DAO occupy more space across the internet through authentic creations that build long-term cultural value. By intentionally including “Lil Nouns” in film titles and producing original stories around artists, products, events, and onchain culture, the project expands the DAO’s visibility, discoverability, and cultural footprint across search engines, social platforms, video platforms, and AI-driven systems. All films, photography, interviews, and creative assets will be released under **CC0**, creating a permanent, reusable media archive that strengthens Lil Nouns’ storytelling, supports future contributors, and preserves the history and evolution of the DAO for years to come.
#### CC0 Media Distribution Plan
- **Pre-Release Content:** Share behind-the-scenes content, product development, artist spotlights, and production updates to build anticipation.
- **Teaser Campaigns:** Publish short trailers, photography, and social media previews ahead of each film release.
- **Film Launches:** Release full films with optimized titles, descriptions, metadata, and Lil Nouns branding across video platforms.
- **Content Repurposing:** Transform each film into reels, shorts, clips, photography posts, quotes, and educational content.
- **Search & AI Visibility:** Publish blogs, transcripts, captions, and written summaries to improve discoverability across search engines and AI systems.
- **Community Amplification:** Encourage featured artists, riders, builders, partners, and community members to share and remix CC0 content.
- **Permanent CC0 Archive:** Maintain public access to all films, photos, interviews, and media assets as reusable resources for the Lil Nouns ecosystem.
**Production & Development Partners**
- [Precious Plastic Espírito Santo](https://www.instagram.com/preciousplastic.es/): product construction development, including nounish-inspired lens applications, finishing techniques, and structural experimentation for the wooden glasses line.
- [Maze Surfcrafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts): production partner for the Lil Asymmetrical surfboard.
- [Surf on Wood](https://www.instagram.com/surfonwood/): technical collaboration and craftsmanship support for the development of wooden glasses and recycled skateboard sandals.
- [Proart Gráfica](https://www.instagram.com/proart.grafica/): production partner for [Noggles keychains](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4LHcL8rvLl/), printed materials, stickers, and [recyclable wax comb prototyping](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxJW5jQPnBc/).Due to his expertise with CNC, laser cutting, and fabrication processes, he is a valuable contact who can contribute significantly to product development and finishing quality.
- [Item Filmes](https://www.instagram.com/itemfilmes) Audio Visual Studio and [Renan Carvalho](https://www.instagram.com/renanmatic/) Director for the development of the 5 special clips.
## 5. IRL Activation
The proposal includes one strategic cultural activation focused on expanding Lil Nouns' visibility through real-world presence, media production, and community engagement. The team would participate in a major crypto and cultural gathering such as **[ETH Latam](https://www.instagram.com/ethlatam/)**, representing Lil Nouns through apparel, product showcases, stickers, and community interactions within existing Web3 and creative ecosystems. Alongside the activation, the team will produce a series of short-form media assets and one dedicated high-quality horizontal film documenting the experience, helping extend Lil Nouns’ presence beyond the event itself and creating reusable content for social channels, websites, archives, and future community initiatives. The activation will be executed through a lean, mobility-focused structure, prioritizing a small core team, efficient travel planning, and localized resources to maximize cultural impact and media output while maintaining cost efficiency.
**Budget Summary ($1,500 total):**
- Event Participation, Travel & Local Logistics (2 Lil Builders): $600

thanks everyone for the votes, feedback, conversations, and overall good vibes around the proposal.
we appreciate Lorenzo and Beans taking the time to share their thoughts. We understand the concerns regarding scalability, reach, and measuring impact relative to cost.
one thing we may not have communicated clearly enough is that, beyond the reach of the Nogglesboard YouTube channel itself, we see value in creating media that helps characterize and document Lil Nouns as an artistic DAO that actively funds and empowers creators, communities, and real-world projects. During our research, we found very little long-form content that tells the story of Lil Nouns beyond a few shorts, clips, and references on Nounsworld. Part of our intention was to contribute to building that archive and public-facing narrative.
that said, the proposal was never intended to be only about videos... The relationships, products, collaborations, creative outputs, onboarding, documentation, and connections created throughout the process are, in our view, valuable outcomes for Lil Nouns as well. This kind of work is also part of our growth as artists and builders. Creating media, storytelling, and physical products are tangible ways for us to contribute to Lil Nouns, especially given the strength and quality of our team across filmmaking, editing, and sound production. We believe these are areas where we can consistently create meaningful value for the DAO.
we also felt that we did not run the strongest campaign possible for this proposal hehe. That's on us. We believe there is still room to adapt, optimize, and improve the scope, execution, deliverables, and communication. Some community members also mentioned experiencing issues while attempting to vote, so we'd like to better understand and address those points as well before moving forward.
our intention is to take the feedback seriously, refine the proposal further, and potentially resubmit it onchain in a stronger form that better aligns with the expectations of Lil Nouns voters.
Thank youu to everyone who supported the first Nogglesboard proposal executed through Lil Nouns and shared positive energy with us throughout the process.
lfg lil keep it weird lil ⌐◨-◨

## 1. TL;DR
Nogglesboard proposes a 10 month Lil Nouns cultural expansion through physical products, media, and IRL activations that turn Lil identity into real-world objects, stories, and community touchpoints.
The project will deliver a Lil Nouns surfboard, upcycled sandals and sunglasses, 100 artistic soap collectibles, apparel, five original highquality films, two cultural activations, QR-linked digital infrastructure, and a reusable CC0 archive for Lil Nouns.
Rather than producing isolated merch or short-term marketing, the goal is to build a physical, to digital cultural layer for Lil Nouns: products that generate stories, stories that drive discovery, and media/assets that the DAO can keep using across social, events, websites, and future projects.

Nogglesboard began with upcycled skate decks and viral content alongside [Will Dias](https://willdias.hotglue.me/), channeling a raw, playful energy that quickly resonated across the DAO.

Now, after a year of momentum, community building, and creative experimentation, it feels like the right moment to evolve that energy into something a bit more… lil, a fresh perspective.

#### 1. LilNouns: Objects of Utility. From Skateboard to Artifact
**(LiL Wooden Sandals & Sunglasses Documentary)** A design-driven film documenting the transformation of broken skateboards into handcrafted Lil Nouns sandals and wooden sunglasses. The narrative explores upcycling, craftsmanship, skate culture, and physical product creation as a reflection of Lil Nouns' creative spirit.
#### 2. LiLNouns Waves, A New Line
**(Ana Dagostin × LiL Nouns Surfboard)** A playful surf film following Ana Dagostin receiving and riding a custom Lil Nouns surfboard. Combining surfing, interviews, art, and product interaction, the piece introduces Lil Nouns through a colorful, optimistic, and youth-oriented visual language.
#### 3. QR to LiLNouns, Riding Weird
**(Gnarsymmetrical Session & Onchain Surf Experience)** A more underground and raw surf short featuring Zima riding the Gnarsym 001 while interacting with a QR-linked Lil Nouns experience. Inspired by independent surf cinema, the film connects physical objects, surfing, and onchain discovery through a more technical and experimental tone.
#### 4. LiLNouns Soap, Proof of Imagination
**(Lil Artistic Soap Documentary)** A documentary-style piece covering the artist crreation, onchain submissions, 3D design process, soap production, and the transformation of embedded artworks into collectible objects and keychains. The film highlights community participation and creative experimentation within the Lil ecosystem.
#### 5. LiLNouns Network State of Mind
**(Lil Nouns Exhibition & Community Activation)** A special event film documenting a dedicated Lil Nouns activation featuring NFT projections, artwork exhibitions, DJs, community interaction, merchandise, and audiovisual experiences. The output serves as both cultural documentation and promotional media for future Lil Nouns initiatives.
#### CC0 Media Contribution
The inclusion of “Lil Nouns” within film titles and media outputs is intentional, creating a searchable and enduring content archive that strengthens the DAO’s discoverability across platforms such as YouTube, search engines, social media, and AI-driven indexing systems. Rather than producing repetitive marketing materials, each film explores a distinct narrative angle surf, craftsmanship, events, artists, products, and onchain culture resulting in a diverse body of high-quality media that expands the visibility, identity, and cultural footprint of Lil Nouns over time.
All films, photography, design assets, interviews, and supporting media will be released under **CC0**, creating a reusable content library for Lil Nouns contributors, social channels, newsletters, websites, and future governance initiatives. Given the current opportunity to expand Lil Nouns' long-form video presence, the project aims to strengthen the DAO's storytelling capabilities while providing authentic, media for years to come.
## 5. IRL Activation
The proposal includes two core physical activations designed to expand Lil Nouns visibility through real-world cultural presence, audiovisual production, and community interaction. The first activation is a fully Lil-focused premiere/exhibition event hosted at LADO B in Rio de Janeiro, combining retroprojector NFT visuals, live DJ performances by Lil Charles and Lil Groove, Lil-themed styling/apparel, music, and immersive artistic atmosphere. The activation will also generate a dedicated cinematic media output documenting the intersection between Lil Nouns, music, visual art, and internet-native culture.
The second activation would take place at a major crypto/cultural environment such as ETH Samba, ETH Brazil, or a Florianópolis-based event, where the team would physically represent Lil Nouns through apparel, product showcases, stickers, soaps, and community-oriented activations integrated into existing crypto and creative ecosystems.
Executing these activations requires a lean, mobility-first logistics structure, prioritizing a minimal core team (Zima, Will, and limited support), optimized transportation/accommodation planning, short production windows, and localized resource usage to reduce operational overhead while maintaining strong execution quality and media output throughout the project.
**Budget Summary ($2,000 total):**
- Crypto Event Floripa or Sao Paulo: $600
- Artistic Exhibition Rio de Janeiro (incl. core logistics): $1,100

## 7. Impact
This proposal helps expand Lil Nouns beyond governance and social feeds by creating a body of authentic media, physical products, and cultural experiences rooted in real communities. Through Nogglesboard’s network of artists, surfers, skaters, filmmakers, and builders, the project generates original CC0 content that can continuously support Lil Nouns across websites, social platforms, events, and future initiatives. At a time when the ecosystem has relatively limited long-form media and audiovisual documentation, the proposal focuses on creating lasting cultural assets rather than short-term marketing.
By combining artist collaboration, onchain participation, handcrafted products, surf culture, and documentary-style storytelling, the project introduces new pathways for people to discover and engage with Lil Nouns. More than a series of products or videos, it acts as a creative bridge between different communities, strengthening the DAO’s cultural identity while producing a growing archive of authentic stories, visuals, and experiences that remain valuable long after the execution period ends.

We're almost halfway through the year, and after discussing this idea for months, it's time to bring it onchain for a vote. s2
We hope you enjoy the proposal and the overall vibe behind it. This updated version is more concise, incorporates community feedback, and focuses on creating value for Lil Nouns through og media, products, artist collaborations and cultural activations.
Thanks for always welcoming Nogglesboard, the Gnars crews and the builders involved.

## 1. TL;DR
Nogglesboard proposes a 10 month Lil Nouns cultural expansion through physical products, media, and IRL activations that turn Lil identity into real-world objects, stories, and community touchpoints.
The project will deliver a Lil Nouns surfboard, upcycled sandals and sunglasses, 100 artistic soap collectibles, apparel, five original highquality films, two cultural activations, QR-linked digital infrastructure, and a reusable CC0 archive for Lil Nouns.
Rather than producing isolated merch or short-term marketing, the goal is to build a physical, to digital cultural layer for Lil Nouns: products that generate stories, stories that drive discovery, and media/assets that the DAO can keep using across social, events, websites, and future projects.

## 2. Nogglesboard History
Nogglesboard began with upcycled skate decks and viral content alongside [Will Dias](https://willdias.hotglue.me/), channeling a raw, playful energy that quickly resonated across the DAO. Blending skateboarding, internet native creativity, and the nounish spirit in a way that felt authentic both IRL and URL.
That energy expanded with Prop 752, when we merged into surf through [Zimardrp](https://www.instagram.com/joaoparmagnani/), unlocking a new wave of experimentation with nounish surfboards, physical products, and a growing stream of content and real world activations. Along the way, Nogglesboard became a consistent presence in the DAO: building, shipping, collaborating, and connecting with a wider network of surfers, skaters, artists, and partners like [Airdrop Culture](https://www.instagram.com/airdrop.culture), [Maze Surf Crafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts), [Gnars DAO](https://www.gnars.com/nogglesrails), and [Higher](https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/higher).
Now, after a year of momentum, community building, and creative experimentation, it feels like the right moment to evolve that energy into something a bit more… lil, a fresh perspective.

---
**Planning Note** This timeline represents the initial execution plan, but the order and timing of specific activations may adapt according to real-world opportunities and production variables. Surf conditions, swell windows, product development flow, event invitations, artist availability, community momentum, and Lil Nouns ecosystem hype may all influence when certain outputs are filmed, released, or activated. Any adjustments will remain aligned with the same final deliverables and will be documented through project updates and propdates.

## 7. Impact
This proposal helps expand Lil Nouns beyond governance and social feeds by creating a body of authentic media, physical products, and cultural experiences rooted in real communities. Through Nogglesboard’s network of artists, surfers, skaters, filmmakers, and builders, the project generates original CC0 content that can continuously support Lil Nouns across websites, social platforms, events, and future initiatives. At a time when the ecosystem has relatively limited long-form media and audiovisual documentation, the proposal focuses on creating lasting cultural assets rather than short-term marketing.
By combining artist collaboration, onchain participation, handcrafted products, surf culture, and documentary-style storytelling, the project introduces new pathways for people to discover and engage with Lil Nouns. More than a series of products or videos, it acts as a creative bridge between different communities, strengthening the DAO’s cultural identity while producing a growing archive of authentic stories, visuals, and experiences that remain valuable long after the execution period ends.

# LiL NoGgLesBoARd.
One year after our original Nouns proposal, Nogglesboard has evolved into an active cultural system connecting skateboarding, surf, art, fashion, and decentralized creativity through physical products and IRL activations.
This proposal expands that momentum into Lil Nouns through collectible objects, media production, apparel, NFTs, and community-driven experiences translating Lil Nouns identity into real-world physical presence.
Rather than isolated products, the project operates as an interconnected system where physical pieces, media, and onchain culture continuously reinforce one another.
---
## 2. Nogglesboard History
Nogglesboard began with upcycled skate decks and viral content alongside Will Dias, channeling a raw, playful energy that quickly resonated across the DAO. Blending skateboarding, internet native creativity, and the nounish spirit in a way that felt authentic both IRL and URL.
That energy expanded with Prop 752, when we merged into surf through Zimardrp, unlocking a new wave of experimentation with nounish surfboards, physical products, and a growing stream of content and real world activations. Along the way, Nogglesboard became a consistent presence in the DAO: building, shipping, collaborating, and connecting with a wider network of surfers, skaters, artists, and partners like [Airdrop Culture](https://www.instagram.com/airdrop.culture), [Maze Surf Crafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts), [Gnars DAO](https://www.gnars.com/nogglesrails), and [Higher](https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/higher).
Now, after a year of momentum, community building, and creative experimentation, it feels like the right moment to evolve that energy into something a bit more… lil. A natural shift not a reset bringing the Nogglesboard spirit into a new context with the same intensity, but a fresh perspective.

## 4. Lil Nouns Products
Introduction to the new phase focused on Lil Nouns, translating its playful and experimental identity into tangible and digital outputs.
- Check out this [link in our drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Zdb7KMBMAhFMgm1vFVa8uVlEG6HWVa4p?usp=sharing) for more detailed photos of the Lil products we are currently developing.
- **25 Wooden glasses function as one of the clearest visual connections to Lil Nouns identity. Produced from recycled skate decks, each pair preserves marks, textures, and histories from previous use, transforming skate material into limited wearable pieces connected to street culture, design, and community visibility.**
- **Lil Nogglesurfboard (1 Unit). Illustrative mockup of a custom Lil Nouns surfboard featuring Lil Nouns artwork, designed for delivery to a [young female tube riding grommet surfer](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOPWPhriZy_/).**
- **Special Sandals (15 units) Handcrafted sandals produced from recycled skateboard decks, combining street culture, functionality, and limited production design.**
- **Prototype of Lil Nouns Soap with nounish assets inside as keychains. (100 Unit)**
- **LiL Nogglesboard Tees (80 Unit)**
## 4.1 Physical Products
#### All physical products operate as connected network layers within the same ecosystem. Rather than isolated merchandise, each piece expands Lil Nouns into everyday life through skateboarding, surf culture, fashion, collectibles, and design.
Production & Development Partners
- [Precious Plastic Espírito Santo](https://www.instagram.com/preciousplastic.es/): product construction development, including nounish-inspired lens applications, finishing techniques, and structural experimentation for the wooden glasses line.
- [Surf on Wood](https://www.instagram.com/surfonwood/): technical collaboration and craftsmanship support for the development of wooden glasses and recycled skateboard sandals.
- [Proart Gráfica](https://www.instagram.com/proart.grafica/): production partner for [Noggles keychains](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4LHcL8rvLl/), printed materials, stickers, and [recyclable wax comb prototyping](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxJW5jQPnBc/).Due to his expertise with CNC, laser cutting, and fabrication processes, he is a valuable contact who can contribute significantly to product development and finishing quality.
- The surfboard marks Nogglesboard’s evolution from skateboarding into surf culture, continuing the experimentation initiated in Nouns Proposal 752. Its asymmetric design reflects the decentralized nature of the DAO while functioning as both a performance board and a large-scale artistic surface for activations, exhibitions, and filmed sessions.
- The soap pieces function as collectible and usable objects designed for broad circulation across events, exhibitions, and community activations. By embedding Lil Nouns-inspired sculptures inside each unit, the project transforms an everyday ritual into a playful cultural interaction, creating accessible entry points into the broader ecosystem while expanding the visibility of Lil Nouns through physical distribution.
- The sandals extend this approach into everyday wear, combining recycled skate materials, utility, and street aesthetics. Each pair preserves marks and visual layers from previous decks, transforming skate history into numbered functional pieces produced through a slow-fashion approach.
- Wooden glasses (Noggles inspired) function as direct visual references to Nouns identity, translating onchain culture into physical expression. They act as both a fashion object and a conversation piece, designed for visibility at events, gatherings, and creator hubs. Additionally, being crafted from recyclable skate deck wood, each pair carries embedded history, reflecting the unique marks, wear, and story of the deck or skater it came from, turning every piece into a one-of-a-kind artifact.
- T-shirts and apparel pieces function as scalable community objects, carrying visual narratives that connect skateboarding, surf culture, and Lil Nouns identity into a unified wearable language distributed across IRL and digital spaces.
## 4.2 Digital Products
These are the key digital and onchain spaces we aim to develop with Lil Nouns moving forward.
- We will focus on video content across our platforms and website, capturing IRL moments, skate and surf culture, collaborations, and editorial and documentary-style content that amplifies the [Lil Nouns movement](https://lilnouns.wtf/), with [website](https://lils.wtf/) link direction. Alongside this, we will produce design-driven assets and LIL visual compositions that function as editorial content, campaigns, and visual extensions of the ecosystem. In parallel, we will actively distribute and amplify this content not only through our own channels but also across Lil Nouns’ presence on [X](https://x.com/lilnounsdao), Farcaster, and Instagram, strengthening visibility and consistency across platforms.
- Our YouTube channel will continue to serve as a hub for longer form content, premieres, and documentary-style outputs, while newsletters on our website and profiles will document and communicate the evolution of Lil Nouns in real time.
- Onchain, we plan to develop a Lil Nouns NFT collection inspired by the [Nogglesboard Rarity system](https://opensea.io/collection/rarity-nogglesboard) bringing our visual language into the blockchain in an authentic and community-aligned way.

- Structuring the digital and onchain expansion of Nogglesboard within the Lil Nouns network, establishing content production, communication infrastructure, and NFT deployment as core operational pillars for ecosystem activation and scalable distribution.
## 4.3 IRL Activation
Executing activations across São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo or Florianopolis, requires a lean, mobility-first logistics approach, where travel, accommodation, and food are tightly optimized and embedded within the core budget rather than treated as separate costs. The strategy prioritizes a minimal core team (Zima, Will, + limited support), early booking for low-cost transport, short stays, and local resource utilization (such as photographers or venues) to reduce overhead while maintaining execution quality across all activations.
**Activations:**
- (1) Crypto event with Lil Nouns representation, merch distribution, and community engagement
- (2) Main artistic exhibition featuring surfboards skate decks, fashion presentation, video premiere (surf, skate, nounish content), and a closing celebration with DJ sets by Lil Charles and Lil Groove.
- (3) Experimental Nounish activation focused on interaction and Nogglesboard integration
**Budget Summary ($2,400 total):**
- Crypto Event Floripa or Sao Paulo: $600
- Artistic Exhibition Rio de Janeiro (incl. core logistics): $1,200
- Experimental Activation: $300
- Shared Crew, DJ, Support & Contingency: $300
## 5. Execution Plan
*The idea is to allocate 50% of the total production run of each product including 13 sunglasses, 8 sandals, 50 soaps, and 40 shirts, along with special LiL Nouns stickers, to distribute directly to the LiL Nouns community and active builders constantly moving through crypto events or contributing to ongoing Nouns/LiL Nouns projects. This includes creators such as Fatty in Italy, Pip with the ice cream van project in Central America, Mike in California, and other artists, builders, and cultural contributors connected to the ecosystem.*
*We initially considered structuring product pricing in a way that could generate direct returns to LiL Nouns through sales and royalties. However, at this early stage, we believe the most valuable move is to prioritize distribution, visibility, and cultural embedding first allowing the community itself to organically adopt, wear, use, and circulate these objects. A minimum resale value will still be established to preserve product value and avoid devaluation, but our main objective is to spread LiL Nouns products across influential builders, creators, surfers, skaters, and cultural operators connected to the ecosystem. Additionally, a special curated kit containing all products developed through the proposal will also be delivered to surfer Aninha Dagostin, strengthening the connection between Lil Nouns, youth surf culture, and the broader narrative layer surrounding the project.*
*The goal is to build this initiative together with the DAO: one half of the inventory would support merch distribution, event activations, community sales, or royalty-driven initiatives benefiting LiL Nouns, while the remaining 50% would be used for direct sales, cultural activations, and on-the-ground exposure through crypto, surf, skate, and creative communities we already have access to.*
Estimated shipping/security budget: $800–$1,400 USD, considering international shipping to Italy, Central America, and California, packaging, customs/tax risks, logistics protection, stickers/inserts, contingency for additional DAO/community distributions, and the shipment of curated kits containing a selection of Lil Nouns products (sunglasses, sandals, soaps, apparel, and related items) for builders, artists, and community contributors connected to the ecosystem.
- **Lil Nogglesboard (Surfboard)** Design and produce a custom Lil Nouns surfboard in collaboration with Lil artists, translating Lil Nouns aesthetics into a functional surf piece. The board will be delivered to surfer Aninha Dagostin along with a curated Lil/Nogglesboard kit (including artist driven items and study tools), generating continuous IRL content and acting as a mobile canvas for competitions and global exposure.
- **Lil Nouns Soap (Art Rounds)** Launch a Lil Nouns–focused art round inspired by [previous Nogglesboard initiatives](https://nouns.gg/c/nouns/rounds/nounish-surfboards), allocating ETH for artists to create 3D Noggles inspired sculptures (keychain format) embedded inside the soaps. In addition to the sculptural work, selected artists will also design the product packaging, expanding creative authorship across both object and presentation. The result is an accessible, collectible item driven by community participation, distributed across events, drops, and markets.
- **Lil Noggles Sandals** The sandals extend this logic into everyday wear, merging recycled materials, utility, and street culture. Produced from recycled skate decks, each pair preserves visual layers and marks from previous use, transforming recycled skate material into numbered functional pieces connected to community identity and slow-fashion production.
- **Lil Noggles Glasses** Produce Noggles-inspired wooden glasses from recycled skate decks, where each pair preserves the visual history of the original material. The glasses function as limited wearable pieces distributed through community drops, activations, and external retail platforms.
- **Lil Nouns Apparel** We will invite and fairly compensate one or more Lil Nouns artists to create each product’s artwork, featuring the artist’s PFP on the label to reinforce authorship, visibility, and community-driven collaboration. This apparel line serves as a scalable platform layer supporting team use, artist partnerships, merch, and brand building. Items will be available to the community at production cost, while also offered at higher price points on external platforms to expand reach and ensure long-term sustainability.
- **Content & Media Production** Continuously produce and document high-quality video and visual content capturing IRL activations, creative processes, and collaborations. Distribute across Nogglesboard and Lil Nouns channels (X, Farcaster, Instagram), with long-form and documentary outputs hosted on YouTube. All content will be released as open-source (CC0), enabling integration across Lil Nouns platforms and community-led distribution, remixing, and archival.
- **Lil Nouns NFT Collection** The NFT collection expands Nogglesboard’s visual language into the blockchain through a lightweight rarity-based system connected to Lil Nouns culture. Rather than functioning as isolated digital assets, the NFTs operate as extensions of the physical system, linking products, media, and community participation into a connected onchain archive.
- **IRL Activations** Deploy three targeted activations in street-level spaces that intersect crypto and art audiences: first, a crypto event for direct engagement and merch distribution; second, an artistic exhibition with boards, fashion, and video premiere; and third, a flexible experimental action. All focused on promoting the project through real-world presence, media output relevance, and community interaction.
- **Gnarsy Surf Session & QR Experience** Produce a special clip, surf session featuring the Lil surfboard with surfer Aninha Dagostin and Zima using the Gnarsy001 integrating a QR code linked to Lil Nouns platforms (including a dedicated landing page/website for at least one year). Capturing and releasing a cinematic, narrative-driven video with a playful, “The Office”-inspired tone, distributed both onchain and across social channels to drive engagement and discovery.
The [Gnarsym 001](https://www.nogglesboard.wtf/waves/gnarly-surfboard) remains well preserved, with strong performance and a nounish design. It features an unlinked QR code, offering potential integration with Lil Nouns. Featured in De [Olinda 36](https://waves.com.br/noticias/de-olinda-36-estetica-brasileira-apresentada/) and the upcoming Nogglesboard documentary, the board stands as an origin artifact bridging Gnars, Nouns, and a possible onchain connection through a Lil>linked QR.

Strengthen alignment with the DAO through feedback loops, governance participation, and strategic reflection, documenting outcomes and defining next steps for continued development.
*The idea of longer-term planning is to stay active within the community and develop projects and initiatives that connect over time, building a cohesive and meaningful Nounish body of work, full of products and actions.*
## 6. Impact
This Lil Nogglesboard system establishes a continuous cultural loop connecting artists, athletes, and builders through physical products, IRL activations, and onchain storytelling. Expanding Lil Nouns through surfboards, collectibles, apparel, and functional physical pieces, it expands Lil Nouns into real-world cultural environments, maintaining the project at a minimally sustainable level while enabling the creative economy to function and circulate value.
The execution will generate broad visibility across multiple platforms including [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nogglesboard/), [X (Twitter)](https://x.com/nogglesboard), [Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/nogglesboard), YouTube, and other channels, with a high volume of ongoing content, long form video premieres, and IRL-driven content production. Activations in crypto events and additional locations strengthen direct community engagement, while physical products act as accessible entry points into the system.
Beyond reach and media output, the project reinforces long-term value by connecting artists through rounds based participation, fostering collaboration, and embedding sport, movement, and craftsmanship as core cultural pillars. The result is a scalable framework where Lil Nouns expands its cultural presence and strengthens its role within the broader Nouns ecosystem.

## 4.1 Physical Products
#### All physical products operate as connected network layers within the same ecosystem. Rather than isolated merchandise, each piece expands Lil Nouns into everyday life through skateboarding, surf culture, fashion, collectibles, and design.
Production & Development Partners
- [Precious Plastic Espírito Santo](https://www.instagram.com/preciousplastic.es/): product construction development, including nounish-inspired lens applications, finishing techniques, and structural experimentation for the wooden glasses line.
- [Surf on Wood](https://www.instagram.com/surfonwood/): technical collaboration and craftsmanship support for the development of wooden glasses and recycled skateboard sandals.
- [Proart Gráfica](https://www.instagram.com/proart.grafica/): production partner for [Noggles keychains](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4LHcL8rvLl/), printed materials, stickers, and [recyclable wax comb prototyping](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxJW5jQPnBc/).Due to his expertise with CNC, laser cutting, and fabrication processes, he is a valuable contact who can contribute significantly to product development and finishing quality.
- The surfboard marks Nogglesboard’s evolution from skateboarding into surf culture, continuing the experimentation initiated in Nouns Proposal 752. Its asymmetric design reflects the decentralized nature of the DAO while functioning as both a performance board and a large-scale artistic surface for activations, exhibitions, and filmed sessions.
- The soap pieces function as collectible and usable objects designed for broad circulation across events, exhibitions, and community activations. By embedding Lil Nouns-inspired sculptures inside each unit, the project transforms an everyday ritual into a playful cultural interaction, creating accessible entry points into the broader ecosystem while expanding the visibility of Lil Nouns through physical distribution.
- The sandals extend this approach into everyday wear, combining recycled skate materials, utility, and street aesthetics. Each pair preserves marks and visual layers from previous decks, transforming skate history into numbered functional pieces produced through a slow-fashion approach.
- Wooden glasses (Noggles inspired) function as direct visual references to Nouns identity, translating onchain culture into physical expression. They act as both a fashion object and a conversation piece, designed for visibility at events, gatherings, and creator hubs. Additionally, being crafted from recyclable skate deck wood, each pair carries embedded history, reflecting the unique marks, wear, and story of the deck or skater it came from, turning every piece into a one-of-a-kind artifact.
- T-shirts and apparel pieces function as scalable community objects, carrying visual narratives that connect skateboarding, surf culture, and Lil Nouns identity into a unified wearable language distributed across IRL and digital spaces.
## 4.2 Digital Products
These are the key digital and onchain spaces we aim to develop with Lil Nouns moving forward.
- We will focus on video content across our platforms and website, capturing IRL moments, skate and surf culture, collaborations, and editorial and documentary-style content that amplifies the [Lil Nouns movement](https://lilnouns.wtf/), with [website](https://lils.wtf/) link direction. Alongside this, we will produce design-driven assets and LIL visual compositions that function as editorial content, campaigns, and visual extensions of the ecosystem. In parallel, we will actively distribute and amplify this content not only through our own channels but also across Lil Nouns’ presence on [X](https://x.com/lilnounsdao), Farcaster, and Instagram, strengthening visibility and consistency across platforms.
- Our YouTube channel will continue to serve as a hub for longer form content, premieres, and documentary-style outputs, while newsletters on our website and profiles will document and communicate the evolution of Lil Nouns in real time.
- Onchain, we plan to develop a Lil Nouns NFT collection inspired by the [Nogglesboard Rarity system](https://opensea.io/collection/rarity-nogglesboard) bringing our visual language into the blockchain in an authentic and community-aligned way.

## 4.3 IRL Activation
Executing activations across São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo or Florianopolis, requires a lean, mobility-first logistics approach, where travel, accommodation, and food are tightly optimized and embedded within the core budget rather than treated as separate costs. The strategy prioritizes a minimal core team (Zima, Will, + limited support), early booking for low-cost transport, short stays, and local resource utilization (such as photographers or venues) to reduce overhead while maintaining execution quality across all activations.
**Activations:**
- (1) Crypto event with Lil Nouns representation, merch distribution, and community engagement
- (2) Main artistic exhibition featuring surfboards skate decks, fashion presentation, video premiere (surf, skate, nounish content), and a closing celebration with DJ sets by Lil Charles and Lil Groove.
- (3) Experimental Nounish activation focused on interaction and Nogglesboard integration
**Budget Summary ($2,400 total):**
- Crypto Event Floripa or Sao Paulo: $600
- Artistic Exhibition Rio de Janeiro (incl. core logistics): $1,200
- Experimental Activation: $300
- Shared Crew, DJ, Support & Contingency: $300
## 5. Execution Plan
*The idea is to allocate 50% of the total production run of each product including 13 sunglasses, 8 sandals, 50 soaps, and 40 shirts, along with special LiL Nouns stickers, to distribute directly to the LiL Nouns community and active builders constantly moving through crypto events or contributing to ongoing Nouns/LiL Nouns projects. This includes creators such as Fatty in Italy, Pip with the ice cream van project in Central America, Mike in California, and other artists, builders, and cultural contributors connected to the ecosystem.*
*We initially considered structuring product pricing in a way that could generate direct returns to LiL Nouns through sales and royalties. However, at this early stage, we believe the most valuable move is to prioritize distribution, visibility, and cultural embedding first allowing the community itself to organically adopt, wear, use, and circulate these objects. A minimum resale value will still be established to preserve product value and avoid devaluation, but our main objective is to spread LiL Nouns products across influential builders, creators, surfers, skaters, and cultural operators connected to the ecosystem. Additionally, a special curated kit containing all products developed through the proposal will also be delivered to surfer Aninha Dagostin, strengthening the connection between Lil Nouns, youth surf culture, and the broader narrative layer surrounding the project.*
*The goal is to build this initiative together with the DAO: one half of the inventory would support merch distribution, event activations, community sales, or royalty-driven initiatives benefiting LiL Nouns, while the remaining 50% would be used for direct sales, cultural activations, and on-the-ground exposure through crypto, surf, skate, and creative communities we already have access to.*
Estimated shipping/security budget: $800–$1,400 USD, considering international shipping to Italy, Central America, and California, packaging, customs/tax risks, logistics protection, stickers/inserts, contingency for additional DAO/community distributions, and the shipment of curated kits containing a selection of Lil Nouns products (sunglasses, sandals, soaps, apparel, and related items) for builders, artists, and community contributors connected to the ecosystem.
- **Lil Nogglesboard (Surfboard)** Design and produce a custom Lil Nouns surfboard in collaboration with Lil artists, translating Lil Nouns aesthetics into a functional surf piece. The board will be delivered to surfer Aninha Dagostin along with a curated Lil/Nogglesboard kit (including artist driven items and study tools), generating continuous IRL content and acting as a mobile canvas for competitions and global exposure.
- **Lil Nouns Soap (Art Rounds)** Launch a Lil Nouns–focused art round inspired by [previous Nogglesboard initiatives](https://nouns.gg/c/nouns/rounds/nounish-surfboards), allocating ETH for artists to create 3D Noggles inspired sculptures (keychain format) embedded inside the soaps. In addition to the sculptural work, selected artists will also design the product packaging, expanding creative authorship across both object and presentation. The result is an accessible, collectible item driven by community participation, distributed across events, drops, and markets.
- **Lil Noggles Sandals** The sandals extend this logic into everyday wear, merging recycled materials, utility, and street culture. Produced from recycled skate decks, each pair preserves visual layers and marks from previous use, transforming recycled skate material into numbered functional pieces connected to community identity and slow-fashion production.
- **Lil Noggles Glasses** Produce Noggles-inspired wooden glasses from recycled skate decks, where each pair preserves the visual history of the original material. The glasses function as limited wearable pieces distributed through community drops, activations, and external retail platforms.
- **Lil Nouns Apparel** We will invite and fairly compensate one or more Lil Nouns artists to create each product’s artwork, featuring the artist’s PFP on the label to reinforce authorship, visibility, and community-driven collaboration. This apparel line serves as a scalable platform layer supporting team use, artist partnerships, merch, and brand building. Items will be available to the community at production cost, while also offered at higher price points on external platforms to expand reach and ensure long-term sustainability.
- **Content & Media Production** Continuously produce and document high-quality video and visual content capturing IRL activations, creative processes, and collaborations. Distribute across Nogglesboard and Lil Nouns channels (X, Farcaster, Instagram), with long-form and documentary outputs hosted on YouTube. All content will be released as open-source (CC0), enabling integration across Lil Nouns platforms and community-led distribution, remixing, and archival.
- **Lil Nouns NFT Collection** The NFT collection expands Nogglesboard’s visual language into the blockchain through a lightweight rarity-based system connected to Lil Nouns culture. Rather than functioning as isolated digital assets, the NFTs operate as extensions of the physical system, linking products, media, and community participation into a connected onchain archive.
- **IRL Activations** Deploy three targeted activations in street-level spaces that intersect crypto and art audiences: first, a crypto event for direct engagement and merch distribution; second, an artistic exhibition with boards, fashion, and video premiere; and third, a flexible experimental action. All focused on promoting the project through real-world presence, media output relevance, and community interaction.
- **Gnarsy Surf Session & QR Experience** Produce a special clip, surf session featuring the Lil surfboard with surfer Aninha Dagostin and Zima using the Gnarsy001 integrating a QR code linked to Lil Nouns platforms (including a dedicated landing page/website for at least one year). Capturing and releasing a cinematic, narrative-driven video with a playful, “The Office”-inspired tone, distributed both onchain and across social channels to drive engagement and discovery.
The [Gnarsym 001](https://www.nogglesboard.wtf/waves/gnarly-surfboard) remains well preserved, with strong performance and a nounish design. It features an unlinked QR code, offering potential integration with Lil Nouns. Featured in De [Olinda 36](https://waves.com.br/noticias/de-olinda-36-estetica-brasileira-apresentada/) and the upcoming Nogglesboard documentary, the board stands as an origin artifact bridging Gnars, Nouns, and a possible onchain connection through a Lil>linked QR.

## 6. Impact
This Lil Nogglesboard system establishes a continuous cultural loop connecting artists, athletes, and builders through physical products, IRL activations, and onchain storytelling. Expanding Lil Nouns through surfboards, collectibles, apparel, and functional physical pieces, it expands Lil Nouns into real-world cultural environments, maintaining the project at a minimally sustainable level while enabling the creative economy to function and circulate value.
The execution will generate broad visibility across multiple platforms including [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nogglesboard/), [X (Twitter)](https://x.com/nogglesboard), [Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/nogglesboard), YouTube, and other channels, with a high volume of ongoing content, long form video premieres, and IRL-driven content production. Activations in crypto events and additional locations strengthen direct community engagement, while physical products act as accessible entry points into the system.
Beyond reach and media output, the project reinforces long-term value by connecting artists through rounds based participation, fostering collaboration, and embedding sport, movement, and craftsmanship as core cultural pillars. The result is a scalable framework where Lil Nouns expands its cultural presence and strengthens its role within the broader Nouns ecosystem.

# Nogglesboard Propdate III
This is the third Propdate for the Noggleboards Nounish Surfboards Proposal (Prop 752).
Big thanks to everyone who’s supported it and helped shape its progress so far 🙏 **LFG.**
## Nounish Surfboards Update
The surfboards are now entering the finalization phase. Following a technical issue involving the supplier of the silk sheets used for the artists’ graphics, the decision was made to proceed with two alternative fabric laminates. With this resolved, the lamination process is set to begin.
A standardized labeling system has been developed for each board, introducing both artistic and technical value to the final product. Each label will include hand-written specifications by the shaper, along with additional Nounish graphics and relevant board information.
We have also implemented a more uniform application approach, consolidating the two fabric variations: one design featuring artwork from artists participating in the Nouns GG rounds (intended for sale or auction), and another full-deck design that covers the entire surface of the board.
The next phase focuses on capturing high-quality visual content to support the film/documentary. This project will document the trajectory of Noggleboards, and the surfboards themselves as the core product of the initiative.
It is important to highlight that the project includes a total of seven surfboards, while the six designs mentioned above are based on digital artworks. To complete the set, the seventh board will feature an original, fully handcrafted design by the artisan artist Ingllithy Pio.
*[Special video created by the artist Ingllithy, documenting the moment she receives the Nouns Noggleboard kit and announcing the upcoming artwork project.](https://www.instagram.com/p/DUYWkd0DhKu/)*
This piece will be created manually using brush techniques, with the process documented for the film. An initial prototype has already been developed to define the flow and movement of the brushstrokes, followed by the integration of Nounish logotypes and the standardized labeling system.
This approach introduces a distinctive contrast within the collection: while most boards are derived from digital artwork, this final piece emphasizes a tactile, hands-on artistic process bringing a raw, expressive quality to the project, with the artist physically engaging with the board and paint.
All surfboard designs were initially hand-drawn and later finalized using digital tools. The shaping process itself was also done by hand, led by the shaper and artist Maze. The Nouns boards will additionally be promoted through his official channels.
Each model was specifically designed to match the performance needs of the six individual surfers involved in the project. In addition, there is one open model featuring a more versatile and asymmetrical design intended for sale or auction.

Logistics for distribution are already in place. Coordination with six surfers has been completed, covering locations from Jakarta, Indonesia, to multiple regions across Brazil (north to south). In parallel, we are aligning with prospective buyers interested in acquiring Nounish boards, including contacts in Portugal and Australia.
## Nogglesboard Rarity Collection.
The Rarity Nogglesboard NFT collection is built from real world skateboard decks originally created and used within Gnars DAO activations. These physical decks were not just designed as collectibles, but actively ridden in skate sessions, events, and community initiatives, becoming the foundation for the onchain artworks.
| Rarity Collection GIf | Keep it Weird |
|--------|-----------|
|  | Sometimes a drip, sometimes a wild ocean. The NFT collection was inspired by colorful elements of nature such as flowers, rainbows, and landscapes, and integrated into the sports ecosystem through the [materialization of physical skate decks as core traits](https://www.nogglesboard.wtf/waves/collab-skate-clip). It represents a fusion of Nounish aesthetics and gnarly street culture, where natural imagery and motion-based sports expression come together within a unified visual and cultural framework.
The concept emerged from transforming these functional skate decks some influenced by Nounish “noggles” visual traits into a curated NFT series that preserves their physical history and cultural usage. Each piece reflects a specific moment of interaction, whether from riders, events, or local skate communities.

## Nogglesboard Cinema & Exhibition
Nogglesboard was invited to participate in the II Brizz Ocean Festival
The [activation included](https://farcaster.xyz/nogglesboard/0x1712e053) showcasing boards and Nounish culture, hosting the premiere of a Gnars surf film, nounish showroom and distributing stickers and stamped prints, while adding a surf-party atmosphere to the event. The experience was shared alongside [Projeto Golfinho](https://www.instagram.com/golfinhosdobrasil/), [Tuna Surfboards](https://www.instagram.com/tunasurfboards/), [Diamante Capixabas](https://www.instagram.com/diamantescapixabas/), [SurfGuru](http://surfguru.com.br/), and [NXF BodyBoard](https://www.youtube.com/@nxfslab).
It was great to once again see strong interest from the public in the “square glasses” aesthetic and to further cultivate this surf-focused scene, where surfboards also represent a viable product direction for upcoming chapters.
*One of the prints we produced for distribution at the event.*
The film [De Olinda 36](https://www.nogglesboard.wtf/waves/gnarly-surfboard) further reflects what Nogglesboard represents, and screening it in a full amphitheater setting created a meaningful moment, generating positive feedback and strong audience engagement.

## Nogglesboard (Sweet Amnesia Model 5'5)
Before producing the final Nounish surfboards, I (Zima) took a surf trip alongside the Airdrop Culture project while supporting Gnars marketing, with the goal of capturing surf and lifestyle footage for the film Nogglesboard: Surf Is Up. I used one of our early asymmetric board designs and invited Nogglesboard artist Victor Bueno to paint a classic red Noggles on it, creating a prototype to build narrative and visual content during the trip.
In Costa Rica, we filmed a session at Playa Hermosa that later became a Droposal and published video content on YouTube and Instagram, along with a hand-shaping session with Australian legend Tony Bear, which will appear in the final film. After returning, the board was brought to Devconnect Buenos Aires to further spread Noggles through a surf and art-driven context.
his allowed us to bring both the Nogglesboard Sweet Amnesia and the Gnarsurfboards to Argentina. The boards were hosted at our Hacker House, which became a shared space for events with Builder DAO and LATAM builders, serving both as decoration and as a living artifact of the project.
The main focus, however, was taking the boards to Devconnect Buenos Aires and placing them at the Nouns DAO stand during Nouns Fair, organized by the Nouns Amigos Mono crew and fellow artists, great work by the team, shout out to everyone involved. The board remained on display for four days and was intentionally left open for customization. We brought it with a white base, treating it as a blank canvas to invite artistic intervention and community participation.

## Riding on Devconnet
Our experience at Devconnect was truly special. It was incredible to finally meet many of you in person beautiful moments all around. We have to admit, the overall vibe in Buenos Aires felt a bit less welcoming at first, which made it even more meaningful to bring a strong Nounish presence to the ETH ecosystem once again, just like we did last year in Thailand.
We brought Nogglesboard skate decks that became essential to our crew’s energy for skating, of course, but also as cultural artifacts and this was captured across Gnars onchain videos and documentaries, generating real engagement both within the conference and throughout the city. We also donated Nogglesboard decks at the 7CTV Skate & Jazz event, supporting and energizing the local Argentine scene. Alongside that, we shared a range of Nogglesboard products like jackets, soaps, and surfboards used in event installations and lived moments. Seeing builders from protocols like Zora, Burner, and many others connect with these products simply because they came from Nouns or a Nouns-born project was deeply rewarding. For us, Devconnect wasn’t just an event, it was a genuine cultural exchange. Ah, We also brought two special Nounish puzzles featuring decorative artwork from Nouns Fair one gifted to the artist Bure, who created the piece, and the other shared as a giveaway.

## Nogglesboard Products
In addition to the 35 T-shirts shared in Propdate 1, featuring different Nogglesboard designs and the authentic colorful Nouns logo distributed to all 6 artists, 6 surfers, and extended Nounish / Gnarly / Surf / Blockchain contributors we still have 5 pieces left in stock.
If you’re interested, feel free to [DM us.](https://www.nogglesboard.wtf/)
As part of the Nogglesboard product line for sales, merch, and market experimentation, we chose to produce handcrafted jackets with a fully Nounish aesthetic. The jackets were sourced from an independent thrift run by a close friend of Will Dias, and custom-embroidered with different Nouns artworks, including the Nogglesboard logo by Mike Good, the original colorful Netreiro Nouns, and personalized embroideries honoring Nouns who supported the Nogglesboard project, such as Mike, Benjamin, Will Dias, Zima, Vlad, and others.
The response was immediate, these jackets drew attention everywhere we went. We produced 26 pieces and currently have 6 left in stock, ranging from kids sizes to M, L, and XL. If you’re interested, feel free to DM us. This was both a product test and an authentic market strategy for the Nouns × Nogglesboard collaboration.

## Artists / Surfboard Production / Desing:
All models were properly developed using specialized 3D surfboard design software and shared with the artists to support shaping and integration with the upcoming artworks. The boards and artworks were then finalized by the artists and coordinated alongside the pieces from the [Nouns GG Nogglesboard rounds](https://nouns.gg/c/nouns/rounds/nounish-surfboards). Throughout January and February, the Nounish Surfboards will be produced, with the process carefully documented through recorded moments for the documentary, as well as short-form media capturing the build journey.
After completion, the surfboards will be delivered to the respective surfers, and one board will be announced as an NFT. This particular piece will be developed fully on-chain, incorporating the artworks from the rounds. This model was previously selected by the community through another vote, and now you’ll have the opportunity to own this creation at home.

## Nogglesboard Skate Updates
Nogglesboard Skate has, throughout its trajectory, developed collaborations with projects such as [Lil Nouns](https://farcaster.xyz/willdias/0x059b516c), [Nounspace](https://farcaster.xyz/willdias/0xb94ff6db) [Darknouns](https://farcaster.xyz/willdias/0xb66e742a), [Gnars](https://farcaster.xyz/willdias/0x0191cf8e), [Rainbow](https://farcaster.xyz/willdias/0xf548f2e9), [Higher](https://farcaster.xyz/willdias/0x2b4f59c9) and [Nouns](https://farcaster.xyz/willdias/0xe40328d9), resulting in the production of videos and audiovisual records associated with these partnerships. These actions focused on skate documentation and integration with different cultural and digital initiatives.
As part of this process, Nogglesboard was present in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during [Devconnect](https://farcaster.xyz/devcon/0x15a053fc), participating in activities within the context of the event and expanding the project’s reach in an international environment, connecting skateboarding, content production, and technological communities.
*This is the second Propdate for the Nogglesboard Project. After 10 months of work, we now move forward with board production and future developments including collaborations with artists/brands (exemple Maze Surf Crafts, Airdrop Culture Gnars DAO etc), the creation of an NFT for the special board from the Rounds Ride the ArtWave, and the addition of new Waves on the Nogglesboard website. We’re also sharing updates on project progress, with the launch event for the boards with an exhibition and invitations to artists and surfers short-media deliveries, the Nogglesboard Doc, and Disorder 2 Skate-videoart.*
Coming Soon...
Disorder 2 follows Will after his disappearance, constructing a narrative shaped by absence, displacement, and transformation. He ceases to be someone easily located and becomes an almost invisible presence, guided more by the flow of the world than by defined destinations. The story does not rely on concrete facts, but on rumors, silences, and perceptions, creating a continuous sense of drift.
Upon arriving in a new city marked by the contrast between chaos and harmony "Bangkok" Will reconnects with the act of getting lost: observing, moving through spaces, absorbing everyday rituals, and perceiving the invisible layers of urban life. Skateboarding emerges as an extension of his body, a way to cross both physical and internal fractures, while the city shifts from being a mere backdrop to a reflection of his inner state.
Without offering definitive answers, the film proposes a reflection on identity, impermanence, and movement. Will does not seek belonging or return, but rather a state of constant fluidity, in which existing means remaining in transit, dissolving the boundaries between the individual, the city, and the world.
[Disorder #1 - Skate-VideoArt-NYC](https://vimeo.com/247013834)
------
*Once the boards are produced, the next stage will include filming, exhibitions, and events, followed by their proper delivery to the surfers for test rides. One of the boards will also be auctioned as an NFT, with proceeds reinvested into further Nounish initiatives and value creation.*
*We hope you’re enjoying our work and what we’re building with the DAO, for the DAO. Our goal is to professionalize our profiles and platforms once the boards are completed, adding the level of value a NounsDAO project deserves, and fostering dialogue with different artists, athletes, and builders.*
**Aloha ⌐◨-◨**
# Nogglesboard Propdate I
This is the first Propdate (1/3) for the Noggleboards Nounish Surfboards Proposal (Prop 752).
Huge thanks to everyone who has supported and contributed to its development 🙏
## Social Media & Comms:
To better expand the project’s reach, Nogglesboard profiles were created across Web2 and Web3 platforms, sharing both project updates and additional content from the Nouns ecosystem with support from partners. Each profile speaks in a different voice to connect with specific audiences, with the goal of staying active and engaging across the intersections of surfing, art, skateboarding, and blockchain. We invite you to follow along and stay up to date with everything Nogglesboard is building.

- [Nogglesboard Zora](https://zora.co/@nogglesboard)
An interesting milestone in this journey was when Mike Good created a nounish artwork shared even before our first proposal or official socials, featuring noggles combined with calligraphy. With his permission, this piece was released open-source, supporting artistic integration within the DAO and fostering collaboration. In the same spirit, many other builders have contributed from the very beginning, strengthening the foundation and direction of the project.
We see Nogglesboard as a lasting and genuine project that deserves to live beyond just a website with dedicated social channels, claiming its rightful space both online and onchain, follow us to more updates e nounish vibes ⌐◨-◨
## Fully Onchain Surfboard Model:
As outlined in the Proposal, one of the seven Nounish Surfboards will be created “fully onchain.” What does that mean? It means the board’s design process is guided and executed by the DAO itself: the model of the surfboard was chosen collectively (already completed), and the artwork will be stamped onto it through a collaborative rounds process where digital artists submitted designs, with ten being selected to bring color and life to the board, with a prize pool of 1 ETH (already distributed).
Following an update video about the community poll to decide the model, the surfboard selected was the Quad Parallelogram Goofy – 5'0" x 21" x 2 3/4".
An asymmetrical goofy (right foot forward), quad-fin, wide-outlined, mini-simmons-inspired design: chubby, fast, and stable, perfect for fat waves. This model was chosen through a Farcaster poll and later served as the canvas for the artists in the Rounds.
Once completed, this surfboard will be auctioned as an NFT, presented either as a 3D render or a rotational video of the board. The highest bidder will not only receive the digital file but also the physical surfboard, delivered alongside a special Nogglesboard Kit.
This tokenization experiment ensures that 50% of the auction proceeds return directly to Nouns DAO, reinforcing a cycle of creative economy and setting the foundation for future monetization potential with Nounish Surfboards. It’s an exciting step toward a sustainable and promising future for the project.

Everything now ready to kick off the Rounds action.
## Rounds at NounsGG
Presented on NounsGG as the [Ride de Artwave: Nogglesboard Contest](https://nouns.gg/c/nouns/rounds/nounish-surfboards), this round celebrated onchain surf/nounish art and the Nogglesboard itself. We received 61 submissions from artists across the Nouns, Gnars, and partner communities, including contributions from Gnarlys and other ecosystems such as the Yellow Collective.
Special shoutout to our friends at NounsAmigos, with Nadia and Createress leading the Nouns Amigos Art School, as well as artists like Brauxelion, Pandu, Messout, among many others who not only submitted work but also amplified the contest across their networks through videos, posts, and cross-platform engagement.
The round was powered by voting from Nouns, Lil Nouns, and Gnars holders, with winning artists receiving onchain rewards directly to their wallets. Big thanks to Sam Peter and the NounsGG team for supporting this part of the proposal, which will culminate in the creation of a unique surfboard (Nogglesboard). Once shaped, it will be both auctioned as an NFT and released as a physical collectible.

## Surfboard Production:
As part of the surfboard production process and raw material acquisition, we placed an order for seven special KAEHANA high-quality epoxy blanks, which will serve as the structural core of the Nounish Surfboards. These blanks are known for their durability, lightweight performance, and precision shaping consistency, making them ideal for translating both artistic and functional design into a professional-grade surfboard.
We are now eagerly awaiting the moment they take shape, incorporating the artwork of six invited artists as well as the winning designs from the Nogglesboard Rounds contest.
To this end, the artists' drawings are already being finalized after receiving their design board model, the nogglesboard guideline presenting Nouns and the project and specifications of the board and artistic direction, for application and simulation of the art. In the next project date and in our posts and casts, this part of the proposal will be covered in more detail.

## Public Goods / KSI:
Our friends at KSI have already begun implementing the Public Goods initiative funded through the proposal. After receiving X, they are actively spreading Nounish culture while fostering sports development in a remote region that truly benefits from this support.
As part of the initiative, the following equipment and materials have already been delivered and are in use:
✅ JigSaw Machine
✅ 20 Skateboard Decks
✅ 20 Sets of Skateboard Trucks
✅ 42 Skateboard Grip-tapes
✅ 20 Sets of Skateboard Wheels
✅ 20 Sets of Bolts and Nuts

Special recognition goes to Epharim, Isaac, and the rest of the team for producing dedicated video content that not only documents the progress but also amplifies the visibility of this action across wider networks and bringing the nounish spirit. This collaboration highlights how onchain resources can generate real-world social impact, bridging creative culture with community empowerment.
## Website Development:
As part of the website execution, the project is now live at nogglesboard.wtf, preserving the cultural alignment with the mainnet nouns.wtf domain. The site follows a clean, nounish aesthetic and highlights the key initiatives Nogglesboard has already delivered, giving greater structure and visibility to the project. The website is also integrated with NounSPACE, developed by our friend Willywonka, allowing users to experience a taste of Web3 interaction, such as engaging with the Nouns NounSPACE profile, the Nogglesboard account, and the Farcaster feed (where we actively post across nounish channels).
In addition, the platform will serve as a hub for all collaborations with artists and surfboard creations, organizing them into special “waves” that capture each phase of the proposal’s execution. This approach positions both Nouns and Nogglesboard with credibility and visibility across the surf, art, fashion, and skate universes. Looking forward, the idea is to continuously add new waves as Nogglesboard, Gnars, and Nouns projects evolve spanning sports, art, poetry, and more ensuring the site remains dynamic and consistently improved over time.
- [Post website announcement](https://farcaster.xyz/nogglesboard/0x762e314e)

## Artist Kit & Onboarding:
We carried out direct interactions with the invited artists, Victor Bueno, Jota Lirio, Fred Carvalho ARS, Inglitty, Talita Persi, and Olavo Caramujo Balinese, who have now begun the design and artwork phase for the Nounish Surfboards. After receiving a guideline (weird but fun) and participating in several calls, the process included activities such as wallet creation and, for some, even the setup of profiles on Farcaster, Zora, and a closer introduction to the Nouns community through shared-screen sessions and collaborative discussions.
Each artist received a special Nogglesboard kit with curated products designed to illustrate the Nogglesboard project and Nouns culture in a cohesive and playful way. The same approach was extended to the surfers participating in the project with the exception of [Tunico](https://www.instagram.com/tunicolopez?igsh=cGpwbm5pa2N2N3R4), who resides in Indonesia and will instead receive both his surfboard and the kit locally.
All participating artists and surfers have already been onboarded and compensated onchain, ensuring smooth execution of the initiative. The reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with strong enthusiasm, gratitude, and admiration expressed toward the Nouns ecosystem and the opportunity to be part of this project.
Next steps include finalizing artist sessions, capturing creative interactions, and producing both a special documentary and short-form media to showcase the designs, the collaboration with Nouns, and the broader cultural impact.

## Nogglesboard Clip Creations
As outlined in Proposal 752 regarding the Skateboard initiative, alongside the public goods work in Uganda with KSI, the Nogglesboard team continues to produce artistic creations and special video projects featuring different handmade Nogglesboard models in collaboration with protocols, DAOs, and onchain projects. This demonstrates that Nogglesboard is much more than a single proposal or project it is an artistic and intercultural manifestation that connects places, colors, and times.
Skater and artist Will Dias is currently developing Disorder 2 (nounish/nogglesboard style), a short film funded through this proposal and the continuation of [Disorder 1](https://vimeo.com/247013834), while also consistently creating new works within the Nouns, skateboarding, and art universes. You can check out some of these creations in the links below.

They’re also published on the newly launched Nogglesboard YouTube channel, which helps us keep the waves flowing on the website.
## Additionals - Weird
As an additional note and in keeping with the weird culture of without expectation of return here are some Nogglesboard and team developments that go beyond the original scope and follow-up of the Proposal.

*This is the first Propdate for the Nogglesboard Project. After six months of work, we now move forward with board production and future developments including collaborations with artists/brands (exemple Maze Surf Crafts, Airdrop Culture Gnars DAO etc), the creation of an NFT for the special board (physical piece) from the Rounds Ride the ArtWave, and the addition of new Waves on the Nogglesboard website (contemplating the new chapters and developments of the Proposal, with a special s/o to every artist, surfer, and more)... loading short-media deliveries, the Nogglesboard Doc, Disorder 2, and the Launch event for the boards with an exhibition and invitations to artists and surfers.*
*Once the boards are produced, the next stage will be filming, exhibitions, and events before distributing the boards to the surfers for test rides. These sessions will also contribute footage to the final feature-length documentary.*
*We hope you’re enjoying our work and what we’re building with the DAO, for the DAO. Our goal is to professionalize our profiles and platforms once the boards are completed, adding the level of value a NounsDAO project deserves, and fostering dialogue with different artists, athletes, and builders.*
