Nouns teams up with up-and-coming professional surfer Sunny Pires to create an inspiring and visually stunning surf documentary.

Nouns funded Sunny Pires in march of 2024 to go on an adventure, and take Nouns along for the ride. This feel-good proposal documents Sunny’s journey along the coast of Nicaragua, combining breathtaking surfing, beach clean-ups, and connecting with the local community. It wasnt just about the waves—it’s about community, adventure, and showing how Nouns can empower individuals in every corner of the world and across sub-cultures. 

The documentary introduces Sunny Pires, a talented surfer named after a legendary wave rider, who at just 18 years old is making his mark on the global surf scene. Coached by his father and mentor, Charles Pires, Sunny has already achieved multiple championship titles. 

With the help of Nouns, Sunny embarked on an adventure, bringing the Nounish ethos to life as he travels the world honing his craft.

In this film, Sunny travels Nicaragua’s stunning coastline, surfs at pristine beaches, and trains under his father’s guidance.

Along the way, the team also gives back—organizing beach cleanups, engaging with local communities, and spreading the Nouns ethos. Even bringing Precious Plastics along for the ride as they helped educate the community on the importance of recycled and sustainable materials. 

The Volcano

The journey finishes with an expedition to one of Nicaragua’s iconic volcanoes. Sunny and his team hike to the summit, symbolically “conquering” it for Nouns.

After reaching the top and planting the Nouns flag in the dirt, Sunny gears up and prepares to ride down the Volcano, in an epic finish. Then, Sunny sleds down the volcano’s sandy slope on a board, capturing the fun-loving spirit of both surfing and Nouns.
