# 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.

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.

## 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.

The special videos are shared on Farcaster through the Nogglesboard account in the Skateboarding, Nouns, and Gnars channels, as well as on X and Instagram in collaboration with the LilNouns profile. 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.*
**Aloha ⌐◨-◨**
