# Conquering a volcano in the name of Nouns - Docuseries with Sunny Pires in Nicaragua 🌋

### Sunny Pires, the one and only professional surfer sponsored with crypto by Nouns!

Nouns is already **making history** because of this partnership. Now we're asking for **27,800 USDC + 6 ETH** to take a step further.

**Sunny has a huge impact on the global surfing community, catching the attention of viewers worldwide, including people from the World Surf League (WSL).**

After being introduced to Nouns by his manager [Rickyday](https://hackmd.io/@Rickyday/Hy8zxdub6), Sunny received funding from NounsBR for various competitions in Brazil and from NSFW for travel to Hawaii.

As a proud nounish athlete, Sunny goes beyond sporting Nouns stickers on his board and branded clothes. He actively promotes Nouns on his social media platforms and in-person interactions, even telling young surfers about how **Nouns changed his life** and how they can join too.

This docuseries aims to tangibly share Sunny's message and experience in web3 with both the broader surfing community and all the surrounding communities involved in the surfing world. Sunny's significant influence within the surfing niche will showcase new possibilities that web3 and DAOs can offer to professional surfers.

We want to do something that was **never done before for Nouns!**

With a Noggles flag, we will stick it in the ground, conquering an active volcano with the best **Neil Armstrong vibes!** 🏳️

### **But what does that have to do with surfing?**

Well, we're heading to Nicaragua, a surfing paradise and home to many volcanoes, to complete this mission. **Join us on a 5-episode docuseries adventure with Sunny** as he explores beautiful beaches, immerses himself in the local culture, and embarks on the pursuit of conquering a volcano in the name of Nouns.

Sunny is a surfer, and he shall surf. In each and every episode, we'll witness Sunny doing what he does best! Be prepared for astonishing images of our boy in the ocean.

A **filmmaker** will travel with us **24/7**, and we'll **hire professional local filmmakers** in Nicaragua to capture surf and nature footage. We've also built a partnership with Flamboiar Media to edit all episodes, ensuring high-end production quality. Additionally, drone, water, and land images will be captured to enrich the visual experience.

In addition to hiring local experts, **we've partnered with Volcano Boarding and Big Foot Hostel**, thanks to [Carlos (Noun 976)](https://twitter.com/carlosjmelgar), who lived in Nicaragua, and connected us with them.

**Big Foot Hostel is known for its environmental initiatives, including beach clean-ups, turtle rescue, and environmental education for children**. In Episode 3, Sunny will visit the hostel and share their story. 

The hostel hosts every 15 days educational sessions with kids on ocean plastic projects, where Sunny will join them and showcase Nouns' environmental projects like [Precious Noggles](https://www.instagram.com/p/C3k8BJkJZ5q/) and others.

The **Volcano Boarding team will guide Sunny** in conquering an active volcano in the name of Nouns - a unique experience as it's the only volcano in the world you can slide down! Weather permitting, we'll also conquer a second volcano with lava 👀

Both the Hostel and Volcano Boarding will be essential parts of the series, and given the beautiful and important work they do, we couldn't leave without showing our appreciation. That's why we'll allocate **1.5K USDC from our total budget to support their environmental initiatives**, such as beach clean-ups, turtle rescue, and children's education - crucial local efforts that need to continue after we leave.
