# 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.

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.

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.

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.
