If you want jacked feet like these for the rest of your life, go ahead and DON’T buy our sandals at Astrodeck and Christian Fletcher Surf. But if you want the nicest, most comfortable flip-flops you’re feet will ever have the pleasure of knowing and wearing, order our styles at www.astrodeck.com and www.christianfletchersurf.com

This Guy Should Have Worn Astrodeck Or Christian Fletcher Sandals

Christian Fletcher Reefers Sandals

First came the t-shirts, now here are the much-awaited sandals.

And, come on, you knew something like this was bound to happen. Been working hard here at the ‘Deck, creating a new sandal line under my revitalized Christian Fletcher brand name. And if I do say so myself, I’m pretty stoked on how these things are looking.

Currently, the Reefers line has three different styles. We’ve got the Master Kush (RM1), the OG Kush (RM2) and the Reefer Madness (RM3). All of these sandals are super soft to the touch. They don’t feel like you’ve slipped your feet into a pair of coarse sandpaper. They are brushed EVA patterns with EVA art straps. The foot bed features leafy patterns (Hey, don’t worry about it. Just tell your mom that the prints are Aloe Vera plants.) that are quick-drying so you won’t have to fret about getting them soaked and walking around with heavy water-logged flip-flops that make you feel like you’re dragging your feet.

These are going for a limited run so we won’t carry much in stock. And it’s perfect timing ’cause Spring Break and Summer are just around the corner. These will look so sick on your feet when you’re doing that keg stand.

And as far as other Christian Fletcher merchandise goes, this is just the mere beginning. We’re bringing back Christian Fletcher surfboards, as well as a whole slew of new thermals, hoodies, belts and some other stuff. So patience, my pretties, patience. All good things will come for those who wait.

But in the meantime, check out the new CF Reefers Sandal line and order yourself a pair or two or three or ten. You can be someone who wears Crocs. Or you can bring out the green-eyed monster and envy from all your friends when you strut your stuff walking around in a pair of CF Reefers.

To order yours now, go back to the home page of www.christianfletchersurf.com and navigate up to where it says SHOP ONLINE. Then do your thang.

Making Mama Proud

But it all comes from good intentions, I guess. I mean, I know that now. I didn’t realize a lot of that back in the day when I was younger, and I’m still learning to take advice or at least have a little more patience in taking the time to listen or hear what people have to say.

And I think my mom’s a pretty smart cookie. She’s fucking funny, honest, sassy and ain’t afraid to tell it like it is. Whether it’s telling me off or telling off my dad or my brother Nathan, the chick doesn’t mess around. And I don’t mean just telling us off in a negative way. I mean, she always has valid thoughts and opinions, words of wisdom , and the most random facts all stored in her mental file. So I was thinking, you know what? Many of you write and ask for advice - some of you guys write serious stuff and a lot of you write stupid bullshit stuff. All in good fun, I know. But my point is, you guys want to banter and you want to hear what’s up and seem to want concrete answers on certain things, so who better to throw in their two cents in regards to your questions than my mom, Dibi Fletcher?

And let’s be honest here…do you really want to get advice from me? Fuck, I just might make your problem even worse.

So, fuckers, here it is. The “Dear Christian” section on here will now be “She is Dibi: Hear Her Roar” from now on. And we’re serious. Ask her anything. You won’t get a more brutally - yet humorous - straight forward answer the way you would from Dib. Don’t be shy. If you leave skid marks on your underwear and want to know what kind of laundry detergent to use, ask her. If you’re in financial despair and feel suicidial, ask her how to get out of that rut. Ask her about anything and everything. She may not have the best answer but she’ll definitely give you an answer.

After all, she is Dibi. Hear her roar.

The first installment, down below.

Hey Dibi,

It burns when I pee and I think she lied about her age. What do I do?

- TJ Harris

Hey Dibi,

Back from the tradeshow in Florida and already back to the grind here at Astrodeck. Uploaded another Q&A session I had with my mom. So check that out. Part 3 in a series. Gotta hand it to Dibi, she asks some pretty good questions.

Watch it here: Christian Fletcher: The Pipeline Prowler

And speaking of questions, I’m throwing the suggestion out there, anyone who wants to ask me anything and everything…well, you can. Either comment and write here or write me on my Fan Page Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/Christian-Fletcher/195488988687) and ask away. If I dig your question, I might include it in my video blogs. Should be pretty sick. And now that I’m back, I can really concentrate and focus on doing my own little man-on-the-street type of interviews with random people, all walks of life.

Like, if I come across some trophy wife/soccer mom from the OC, I wouldn’t hesitate in asking her some gnarly things. For instance, “Would you drink the after-birth liquid of a hyena for $100,000?” I love seeing reactions. Love the unexpected answers. Being caught off guard. Fuck, yeah. I want to see the grimace on her face.

Yeah. You’re done here. Go check out the video now.

Retelling old tales, going down memory lane, talking about tomorrow, living today, talking shit, giving kudos, past, present, future, so much to say, not enough to say, don’t want to say too much…so what should I post on my blog today?

Well, the year’s coming to an end. 2009 has had some ups and downs for sure. But I’m stoked to be back for the most part. Got a new hold on life and looking forward to the next chapter of it. 2010 will mean bigger and greater things not just for me, but I hope for all of you, too.

Been surfing, working here with my folks at Astrodeck. Re-launching my clothing line and starting a brand new sandal line. So watch for that.

Speaking of my parents. It’s my dad’s birthday today. Yup. December 30. He’s 61 today. How epic is that? The guy has been around and he still likes to snake me out in the water! But it’s cool. Haha, fuckin’ pops.

It also happens to be my parent’s wedding anniversary. 40 years. That’s such a feat. 40 years of anything can get stale but 40 years of marriage…and through their own roller-coasters in life; running a business, venturing out with different art projects, film projects, writing for mags, my mom starting her own non-profit organization with the Marines, raising two boys…just living and surviving life through everything…nothing but mad respect.

Hope everyone has a great New Year of epic proportions!

Been going through a bunch of archival photos we’ve had. They’ve just been sitting here at Astrodeck headquarters. A lot of you have been asking for some updates on pics; old rare stuff, surf and skate photos, random things from when I used to be in a band, etc.

It’s interesting and funny. Weird, too. And I don’t mean that in a negative way. But why is it that most of us like looking at other people’s pics? We like to check ‘em out, crack-up, make fun of the terrible fashion styles and haircuts. Man, I have some gnarly pics of myself at 19 with a mohawk that’s like three-feet spiked up in the air. Haha, I even found some pics of a photo shoot I did with myself in a tuxedo. A. Fucking. Tuxedo.

I went through a box here and found pictures from my gromhood, too. Pretty cool. There’s a pic of when I won my first surf contest. I think I was five-years-old amongst a bunch of eight-year-olds.

Anyway, just rolling along here. Working on the site every day to make it look better and to feed your need.
