# 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.

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.

|  | 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.

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.

## Next Steps

The next phase focuses on completing the surfboards and initiating a structured rollout: capturing high-quality photo and video documentation, followed by a pre-release of the project and boards. This will lead into exhibition events and broader promotion, alongside distribution to selected surfers for testing and alignment with potential buyers. In parallel, one board will be positioned for auction, reinforcing the project’s value loop.

The final stage culminates in the release of the films Disorder 2 and Nogglesboard Surf Documentary, which will be submitted to festivals and premiered across curated venues, expanding the project’s reach and cultural impact.

## 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.
