Greyson Going Commando?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

Moskova recently picked-up Greyson to ride for their team, and they’re already doing a good job promoting him in their new ads.

So not only is he covered (literally) in Moskova Boxers, but he also rides for Stance Socks… Damn, Greyson, I guess I don’t need to take you to WalMart anymore to load up on those undergarments.

Click or cut/paste the link and check Greyson out on the Moskova website:

Hey Dibi: “Do you like bread?”

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Just to remind you guys, we’ve left all the questions written as is. I figured, why go out of my way to make some of you guys look smarter than you actually are? Fuck that. - CF

Hi dibi. Do you like bread? i like bread. with mustard. cut off crusts. no cheese tho. you rock. i want to rock with you. don’t tell herbie. pfffffffft hey  herbie. herbie’s a stud.    - rizzo

Dibi: I love bread with Dijon…and the crust is the best!

I really enjoy the miscellaneous and candid photos you have of your family, Dibi. i.e. Walter surfing, the boys when they were younger, Greyson skateboarding, the beautiful photo of you and Christian, etc. Thank you so much for sharing and look forward to seeing more.   - Michelle Darcy
Dibi: Thanks, it’s fun for me to see them again also. I get so busy; I don’t take the time, so I’m grateful.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, do you think the old “if life gives you lemons make lemonades” is corny or good to remember?
- Seth Bretther
Dibi: I think perhaps when the “old” saying originated, it was a way to look at the hard times by remembering moments of happiness. It now seems to be used as an excuse to run away from challenges and become completely self-absorbed. That’s sad.

————————————————————————————–

Hey I saw Nathan at Strands the other week. Does he live here during the summer and back to hawaii for winter?   - I’m Nathan 2

Dibi: He lives here off and on in the summer, between travels.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi and Herbie, will you guys do another issue full feature of Frank 151. Yours was the best. Sorry Frrank 151 your other issues are fucking gay.   - Mikey B.
Dibi: Thanks, it was fun do. If they asked, we’d probably be into it.

————————————————————————————–

What’s the update and status of the Brazil saga as CF calls it lol. Sorry you guys are going through that btw. sucks.   - Tony Reeves
Dibi: He’s been a dick, but other people have been great and very helpful, which has been very cool.

————————————————————————————–

Would you say CF and NF are surfers more because of environment or would it be if they lived inland or in some hick state they would have found their way to the beach eventually?
- Mike Gillman
Dibi: Hard to say. I grew up with my dad surfing, they grew up with their dad surfing, so it all just happened naturally.

————————————————————————————–

LOVE MY FUCKING ADECK SANDALS! HOW ABOUT A RED PAIR JUST PLAIN RED WIHT BLACK STRAPS!!!! DO IT DIBI GO GO GO!   - Scott Glennys
Dibi: Dude, I did a great pair of black sandals with a red stripe and a red A (for Astrodeck), but, man, were they hard to sell. Guys seem to only want to wear brown or black, go figure.

————————————————————————————–

When will we see Wave Warriors The Next Generation with Greyson?????   - Danny Kinkade

Dibi: I’m not sure. We’re collecting footage all the time and hopefully, sometime in the near future, we’ll be able to do something that we think will stand as an original on it’s own.

————————————————————————————–

Hello dibi, I enjoy reading your hey dibi & dside blogs ! you need to make it like johnny carson & craig ferguson! behind desk!   - jamie b.

Dibi: Thanks, I’d love it if we had a place that we could keep set-up and there was some schedule. As it is, I catch the interviews on the fly; when friends stop by the office and we throw a piece of art behind them and get the film in the can before the opportunity slips by.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, if anything else, I would just like to say how much I look forward to all your contributions on Christian’s site. I get such a kick out of reading some of the stuff you write after a long day at work! Thanks!
- Stacey Marlowe
Dibi: That’s very nice, thank you!

————————————————————————————–

Why can’t Hollywood get it right? Blue Crush, John/Cinn, etc.   - Jim Black

Dibi: Dude, they don’t listen, they think they know best, and they have NO saltwater or sand in their veins!

————————————————————————————–

Hi Fletches! Ive been a fan since i started surfing back in 93′.Thanks for the inspirations from ALL of you.
The question for Dibi is: If you would’ve had a girl what would you had named her? Actually is 2 questions, sorry Whats the best way to clean myslelf from THC in 3 weeks? Thanx & love!   - pablo velasco
Dibi: I’m not so great with names out of thin air; it took me a couple of weeks to name Nathan. I felt I needed to get to know him before I threw a name on him that he’d have to live with forever. So, I’m afraid I’m not sure what I’d name a girl.

Got a drug test coming? I thought it had a two week window? I beleive there’s all sort of things that you can get at the health food stores or online that are supposed to clean the system, but I’ve never had to use anything so I have no idea what to recommend.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, You are fucking rad. The stuff about that Brazil guy is so well written. You should be a writer!
- Scott Ragan
Dibi: Thanks, I’ve written quite a bit and enjoy it.

————————————————————————————–

HEY DIBI! Any possibility of you guys updating your OLD SCHOOL pics and have some cool family pics with your boys?   - Fletcher Family Fan 4 Life
Dibi: Sounds great, perhaps that will happen sometime in the near future.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, will Greyson be skating in any more events this year? Been keeping track on CF’s facebook. The kid kills it!   - Manny Gracia
Dibi: Yes, I think he’s doing something next month in Northern California, but I don’t know the name off hand. We’ll post it though, so stay tuned.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, where was that sweet photo taken of Walter going backside and stuffing someone? Looks like Grandpa rules!   - Riley D.

Dibi: My Dad and Herb were on a surf trip in Bali and Herb caught the photo at Padang Padang.

————————————————————————————–

Is Greyson’s middle name really Thunder? Where did Christian come up with it. COOL!   - Jennifer Elliot

Dibi: Yes, I’m not sure.
————————————————————————————–
Are you glad you are living at this current state or do you wished you lived in the 1800 or the year 2200?
- Francis Thorpe
Dibi; I try to live my best in the present, not in the rearview mirror or in the future, I feel that if I’m not here right now I’ve missed everything that life has to offer. I’m not sure if that answers the question, but I’m here in the present and that’s it!

————————————————————————————–

If Nathan competed in the NSSA and did so well why did he suddenly stop? What made him suddenly stop enjoying it?   - Hal Lipinski
Dibi: I’m afraid that’s a questions that Nathan would have to answer, as my opinion would be merely that, and you know what they say about opinions…

————————————————————————————–

oh my gosh you’re so hot dibz. you look good! howzit??!   - Chris Lauden

Dibi: It’s great thanks! Life is an amazing adventure, who woulda thought I’d be doing this???

————————————————————————————–

Are you a fan of reality shows Dibi?   - Ryan Reyn
Dibi: I have to admit that some of the “Housewives” shows make me roll on the ground.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, I used to read in the mags as a kid how Christian liked GBH and GG Allin, has his music taste changed?
- Kurt O’Neal
Dibi: I think that’s a question for Christian, but I think he’s probably broadened his taste somewhat with age, but not so much that he would be caught dead listening to some green, ballad-type music fare, even if he personally liked the guy playing it.

————————————————————————————–

So bummed about that Brazilian guy. What can we do to help, Dibi? The Fletchers rule and this really pisses me off!   - Paolo Ruiz

Dibi: It really sucks, and the only thing I know that you and friends like you can do, is to spread the word. Make it so everyone knows, everywhere he goes, that he is not who and what he says he is. The Fletchers are Astrodeck!

Astrodeck By Herbie Fletcher: The Originator Not The Imitator

Friday, August 27th, 2010

When the first Brazilian in the ’80s started using OUR company name, Astrodeck, Herb contacted him and tried to negotiate a deal to buy back our Astrodeck name that he had registered in Brazil. The guy was very uncooperative and did not want to sell it to us-which was very unethical-but, unfortunately, not illegal. Herb contacted a lawyer here in the states about options and he was advised that he could probably win the case but it could exhaust all company assets. Herb had a young, growing family, limited resources, and so he made the decision to move forward by creating films and products that he was proud of, hoping that he could revisit the Brazilian infringement at a later date.

Time marched on and the business had periods of expansion and contractions, with many people jumping into the traction market that Herb created through his invention of the surfboard tail pad. With many players in the market for the pad (Which, by the way, is the smallest segment of surf-related sales.) being dependent on the purchase of a new board, it was difficult to keep our small family-owned company afloat. There was much money spent with attorneys getting trademark protection in many foreign countries, but most never produced the revenue that made the expense worth while.

We had heard nothing out of Brazil for quite some time until we ran into our friend, the shaper, Pat Rawson, at the tradeshow last year and he said that he wanted us to meet a young Brazilian who had bought “Astrodeck” from the previous Brazilian who had trademarked it. Pat said that the young guy really wanted to make it right and work with us. We were thrilled! After the initial introduction, I started to correspond with him through emails as I was always the one who handled all the international business. It was almost immediately apparent that the only way to work together would be a licensing deal due to the exchange rate, import duties, etc. I called him to discuss going forward and he became extremely reluctant to put together any specifics after he said that he was making many items with the Astrodeck name on them, and I said that I felt he would rightly owe me a royalty on anything with the Astrodeck name. He then said that he would have to talk to his people at Astrodeck. That pissed me off and I tried to politely explain to him that he WAS talking to Astrodeck. That’s when he decided to hang up, and that’s the last any of us have heard from him.
That is, until he popped up on Facebook with an Astrodeck profile and account. He is now also in the process of launching a website known as Astrodeck.com.br., where he has even stolen my Astrodeck logo and insignia that was personally created by Shawn Stussy for Herbie.
My attorney said yesterday that I have a very good case. But it could cost me north of $80,000.00. And at this point, with a still-small family-owned business (practically one of the only ones still surviving in this surf industry), that kind of money could completely destroy what we’ve spent our whole lives trying to achieve.
What he’s done may be lawful…but it’s immoral, unethical, and fuckin’ stinks!!!

Dibi Fletcher
