Those pics you guys do are the funniest sh*t EVER! - Lucas Nakamura Dibi: That’s pretty funny, we just did the holiday photos because we personally got a kick out of them and thought it was a fun way to laugh at ourselves, and then when we didn’t do one, so many people wrote in about them, that we decided we’ll try to keep it going. A sense of humor is one of life’s greatest gifts.
————————————————————————————-
LMAO! I love the humor you guys have! Now that being said, where can I order one of those amazing turtlenecks?  - Audrey S. Ellis Dibi: That was funny. CF and Nathan get a little pissed sometimes, but what the heck, it’s all in fun.

————————————————————————————-
When do you think it’s not the right time to push the envelope or get extreme? - Jake Theroux

——————————————————————————————–
What happend to Bad Ass bindings? - Gary Geise

——————————————————————————————–
What’s going on with Nathan now that Analog’s jumped the cliff? - Clark Robertson

Just to remind you guys, I’ve left all the questions written as is. I’ve figured, why go out of my way to make some of you guys look smarter than you actually are and correct all your grammatical errors? Fuck that. - Christian
—————————————————————————————————————-
Why does Christian let meth heads shave his back? sounds dangerous to me! Haha – Recycled House
Dibi: I have no idea what you’re referring to, but it certainly sounds a bit odd.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Is BACON really meat candy??? – Recycled House
Dibi: Not as far as I know, ugh.
—————————————————————————————————————-
HOw was it back in the late 60s (or whenever that was) when Herb and Hynson were first experimenting with the downrailers? Do you remember it, did Herb express to you right off the bat that they were on to something? Must’ve been some cool times. – Cenen Aparicio
Dibi: Yes, I remember the era quite well. Herb was always into design and experimentation and pushing things forward. He believed in the down rail and still uses them today.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Nathan said in Surfline that he never even finished reading a book. That surprised me. Thought he was a reader? – Dale Newdsome
Dibi: I think he reads quite a bit, but I believe he has a more of a piece work attitude about gathering information.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hey dibbs, were you born in Hawaii? I know walter surfed Hawaii but cannot imagine not from the looks of your pics anyway that you were born back then when he was in Hawaii? – Kent Taloga
Dibi: No, I was born in California.
—————————————————————————————————————-
What has Greyson been up to? Any big plans for summer? The kid is an amazing skater! – Dante Hause
Dibi: Thanks, I think he has great style. He’s playing it by ear right now, but he and CF were planning on another trip to Japan for a surf/skate event in August.
—————————————————————————————————————-
What happened to the d-side, any new interviews? - Matty Growden
Dibi: I’ve been so busy with some other projects that the time has just slipped by. But I have some interview ideas that I’ll try to get and hopefully there will be some new D-Side cuts soon.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, what happened to the Christian Fletcher rad pad? And do you guys still keep in touch with Pottz? – Rick Crawford
Dibi: Things change as we move forward, we have a couple of CF pads in the line that seem good right now so will run them for a season or two and then redesign. We’re friendly with Pottz [Martin Potter] but our paths don’t cross much these days… but you never know what’s in the future.
—————————————————————————————————————-
I have a disagreement with my friend he says Herbe did San Clemente Locals but wasn’t it New? – Scott Aaronsen
Dibi: You are correct, it was Jeff Neu.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Has greyson ever worked with Larry Clark and Ed Templeton for skate photos and lifestyles? I can so see him doing this! He has the look! – Monica Sanchez
Dibi: No, he’s never worked with either.
—————————————————————————————————————-
I’ve read your answer somewhere before on Hey Dibi about how you made Nathan wear pink wetsuits so you could see him when he was out surfing. Great idea. But no one makes pink wetsuits anymore! – Mike Fionesco
Dibi: Well, if that’s the case, which I don’t know, I guess I’d have to be creative and use spray paint, rash guards or anything else that would allow me to spot him at a distance.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Have you ever been duped by a scheme? – David Lorin
Dibi: I thought I’d gone crazy when I looked at my magazine pile and noticed I had “Bird Magazine”, trying to win Ed McMahon’s Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Did Christian and Nathan play a lot together when they were kid? I know there is a 5-6 year age difference. And I don’t mean surfing and skating, but doing things like watching TV together, doing homework, maybe helping you bake cookies. Tee hee. J - Diane Clarke
Dibi: They were best friends for years and did everything together. It was a really fun time for all of us.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Do you think Christian likes it when so many people always bring up his past in surfing and are stuck in that era? – Jess Ward
Dibi: I think he’s used to it, and I don’t think he lets it bother him one way or the other.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi what do you think is the worst and ugly surfing related fashion trend of all time? – Heather Mitora
Dibi: I look back and laugh at some of the old photos, but they were contemporary during their time so they seemed cool.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Noticed CF likes MMA you think he’ll get into it like Rory [Parker]? – Jim Willis
Dibi: Who knows what he’ll do next? That’s one of the things I like best about him.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Does Christian still play in a band? What happened with axefuck and absolute? – Daniel Bacca
Dibi: No, not currently. Chris Williams passed away years ago and everyone else went their own ways.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Dibi you mind being called a m.i.l.f or does it bother you?!!!! – Robert Patchuka
Dibi: My dear, I didn’t even know what it meant until I asked, and if that’s the worse thing I’m called, I guess I’ll live with it.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Love Christian’s write-ups esp. the one of Motehers day with the photo of you and the boys! Nothing but love! How great you must feel! – Candace Nolan
Dibi: It’s been a long, very bumpy road, but life’s great right now, and I’m enjoying it to the fullest.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Why do you think that at 35, Nathan is still in the public eye with the magazines and in the surfing world where a lot of his contemporaries are now not even relevant anymore? Hello? Anyone remember Ratboy Collins and Colin Wagschal? – Tim Egerenoff
Dibi: Nathan is an innovator, a great designer, uniquely interesting, and honestly kind. Those are qualities that make him relevant, it’s not just surfing or, like you said, none of them would be forgotten.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, who designs the pads and sandals? You or Herbie? Or both? I know both of you are artists so does that go into creating your products or not? – Evelyn Jones
Dibi: We both do, and, yes, being artistic helps. But, honestly, in many instances we have to design for a public that is often quite a bit more conservative then either of us.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Do you think there is a difference between a surfer and a jock? Isn’t being a surfer an athelete and so many surfers are also competitive. – Wayne Wilde
Dibi: When I was growing-up, there was a real difference. But now the line is definitely blurring with the big contest money, agents, managers, trainers, corporate sponsorship by publicly traded companies, etc. And that will be a factor that will forever change surfing. In some ways I find that very sad.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hey I’ll ask Dibi maybe she can ask Herbie, what happened to Herbie’s “Revenge Mono Glue” ? – Peter Tripp
Dibi: Like many things we’ve done, it’s just part of the past.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Dibi whats the follow up with those crooks who tried to scam grandma Fletcher? – Darren Clifton
Dibi: That incident actually happened to my mom - not Herbie’s. And sorry to say there was nothing we could do except post it to let other people become aware.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi what did the Nathan and Christian do for you on mother’s day? And greyson to! – Charlie Dillon
Dibi: We all met at my house and laughed a lot. It was great being together.
—————————————————————————————————————-
HEY! Hi Dibi! I think I read someone asking you about the car commercial you guys did a long time ago. Did you guys post that up? I think this was from 1990? – Brian Guerrero
Dibi: It was a Volvo commercial that we did with Bruce Weber. Bruce sold Volvo on the idea of how cool it would be to have this wild surf family represent the “All American family” car. They loved it - until they wanted to start changing everything. It was fun at the time; I love working with Bruce, but I never had a copy of the finished product.
—————————————————————————————————————-
There was a pic of Nathan and Herbie in 1989 or 1990 I think something like that herbie is towing in young Nathan it was in a mag maybe Surfer mag anyway you guys have that pic ? I tellin my friends Herbie first to tow Nathan and Christian and they say nahh no way. I say its TRUE there is proof!!! Maybe was this Zippers? No I do not know. – Juan Hortado
Dibi: You’re right! I’m not sure where the stills are, Herb’s out of town, but I have movies of Herb towing Christian in at Off the Wall in 1984!
—————————————————————————————————————-
LMAO please post more photos like that of you guys at Disneyland. Makes me laugh! I love it! – Jill Gardner
Dibi: Thanks, old family photos are always fun. We don’t have many to top that as most of our times were spent at the beach.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi! So my question is: What do you think is very pure and natural about surfing and what do you think is pretentious and phony about it? Thanks, Hey Dibi is great! Look forward to it all the time! – Jen Carpenter
Dibi: I think the art of surfing is very Zen like, and the sport of surfing has become just like all the other sports.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Who movie character do you think each of you is similar to in personality. 1. Dibi 2. Herbie 3. Christen 4. Greyson Fletcher 5. Nathan Fletcher – Richard Brennen
Dibi: I think we’re our own movie, starring the Fletcher’s.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, did Greyson have to audition to get the part in John from Cincinnati or did you guys create the part with him already in mind to take the role? – Bill Naverette
Dibi: He was introduced to David Milch and hired.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, let’s write a memoir together. Between the two of us we can make the surf industry go in hiding from shame. – Sloth Fratelli
Dibi: I think a new soap opera would be great, much better then a memoir and a lot more fun!
—————————————————————————————————————-
Will you ever have a full showcase of your brilliant artwork on display on Christian’s site here or do we only get to see them once in awhile for Hey Dibi? L - Joey Heppler
Dibi: I’m not sure, things change so fast and I have some new things I’m working on that will probably be perfect for his sight.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi how are you? Read about the bastardization of the aerial maneuvers that so many of these so-called editors have been ruining. As well as the lack of recognition for Christian. Will it ever change? – Mark Toner
Dibi: I’m fine, thanks. If history is any indication, I doubt things will change much.
—————————————————————————————————————-
Any chance we can see the video on your website or some photo still of Christian and Nathan and Bloodshot and Gadnium from the Cabo contest days? Sick ass days for sure!! Memories! – Troy Murphy
Dibi: Ah, the Fletcher’s “Cabo Classic” was some fun. I’ll try to get some clips from the video and post them when we get a new website; We’re thinking about embedding videos and not uploading it on YouTube because then Google own’s the rights.

Just to remind you guys, I’ve left all the questions written as is. I’ve figured, why go out of my way to make some of you guys look smarter than you actually are and correct all your grammatical errors? Fuck that. - Christian
 Christian Fletcher Painting by Dibi Fletcher —————————————————————————————
Does Nathan still Weld dibi? - Yeman Stouch
Dibi: Yes, he’s made me some very interesting pieces. I think he’s quite talented.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi what is your take on organized religion? - Thomas Povey
Dibi: I think everyone wants to feel better about themselves and the world, and if joining a group of like-minded people is for you, great.
—————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi! I remember Nathan used to take flying license right? Did he ever get his pilot’s license.
Dibi: We started the lessons when he was 15, and he didn’t complete them then, but he came by last summer and got all the books, so I assume he’s wanting to start back up again. I’m stoked for him.
and here’s my #2 question seems like you’ve always supported your kids in whatever they wanted to do. What’s something you put your foot down and said “NO!” to? - Craig Osumi
Dibi: That’s hard, of course there have been stupid things that any young kid might do that I would have said no to; water balloon launchers out my Mom’s second story at the highway, etc. But anything that was interesting and exciting and pushed them to develop new skills, I’ll help anyway I can.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi, am I crazy for being a huge fan of not only you Dibi but the whole fam Fletcher damily? Lol! - Jimmy Gould
Dibi: No crazier then any of the rest of us,I guess. It’s all just fun.

Hey Dibi, how did you guys meet/know Annie Leibovitz. Really rad photo shoot with Malcom! - Ernie Bruhner
Dibi; My friend who worked with us for many years was friends with Lauren Hutton and Malcom. We were invited to the photo shoot and the rest is in the picture.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi, did you guys have nathan and christian seaparted by 5 years on purpose? just wonderen! - Mike Clancy
Dibi: Yes, I thought it was nice to let Christian get a chance to be a baby before having to grow up and be an older brother. He was quite a terror; but when Nathan came along he was a great help and he and Nathan had a grand time together.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi, you are a beaut! I’m sure many of CF and NF’s friends had crushes on you! Is it true you went to CF’s school and embarrassed him with hot pants on? - Gregory Ross
Dibi: It wasn’t hot pants; it was a red leather mini skirt, fish net hose, purple suede boots, long rhinestone earrings, and I had pink stripes in my hair. Obviously, it worked because I never had to be a parent escort again, and Christian and I laugh about it to this day.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi and Christian, thank you for adding me! I love all you Fletchers but Greyson puts a smile on my face! Can you ask Greyson what he wants for his bday? :P - Jodie Kulver
Dibi: Probably to skate a great bowl, he’s a guy!

Dibi! Ask your husband Herbie why he drops in on everyone!!! All the time!!!! - Rick Keegan
Dibi: Because he can!!!
—————————————————————————————
Dibs, I see you out but never in the water, why not? - Harris Puget
Dibi: Because I don’t go in unless the water’s really warm.
—————————————————————————————
any big wave escapades from nate so far this year? danny montoya
Dibi: He’s been riding huge waves. We’ve posted some photos on FB, and I’m sure they’re all over the internet if you want to search. He seems fearless.
—————————————————————————————
NO Fair CF you suck! Answer your own damn questions! ROFL! Ok fine! Ii’ll ask tu madre! Dibi Fletcher! What is something weird YOU and CF like to eat! - Tim O.
Dibi: Christian lived in Bali for some time and ate everything, UGH!!! I’m very health-conscious and eat very light.
—————————————————————————————
What’s up Dibi! Tell Greyson that I’m putting his vote in for Skater of the Year even though his name’s not on the ballot! Stupid fuckers! Greyson Fletcher all the way! - Kevin Aragon
Dibi: Cool, I’ll tell him. I think he’s got great style.
—————————————————————————————
That Fast Eddie interview was an A ticket ride! Any more? - T.L.
Dibi: You bet, I loved him as a jokester. I don’t think many people see him in that light, and I thought it was hilarious.
—————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi! Do you have any tattoos yourself? - Tianna Rocha
Dibi: No, I never thought they were for me. I love art and my taste evolves; I never wanted to be stuck with something I’d grown out of.
—————————————————————————————
Is it insulting that I see you and Herbie more like the artsy folk rather than the surf folks? Love all the imagery and artwork you guys have on your sites! BIG BIG FAN! - Stewart Riggs
Dibi: Of course not, that’s how we see ourselves.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi, how has it been with CF back and sober? Do you think this is finally it? - Bob “Malibu” Grady
Dibi: It’s wonderful, I’m grateful everyday. I certainly hope so for all our sakes, but I guess time will tell. It sure seems good.
—————————————————————————————
What do you think is Nathan’s longevity when most pro surfers his age are now pretty much on the back burner? - Kai Jensen
Dibi: Big wave riding is like an entirely different sport and it extends the careers longevity. He’s still amazing, so I guess we’ll just wait and see what’s up his sleeve for Act II.
—————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, will you be posting any more photos of yourself taken by Bruce Weber? Thank you. - Gabby Lopez
Dibi: Maybe in the future, I don’t like to post personal photos he’s taken of us over the years, I feel it’s infringing on our friendship and I’d never want to do that.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi, will you guys reissue or sell again those trade cards? I have 3 (archy, christian and gary elkerton) and would like to add to my collection! - Sam Davis
Dibi: Herb and I talked about it recently, we didn’t come up with an answer but maybe I’ll revisit the conversation and see if there’s a market.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi, can you ask Greyson a question for me, what trick he is trying to learn and ha been the hardest for him to conquer? - Trent Whitber
Dibi: I’m sorry, Greyson’s in Japan and will be back in a few days; I’ll ask him then, so please repost your question and I’ll answer it in the next column.
—————————————————————————————
Outside of the typical surf and skate labels/brands, who would you, Dibi, not Christian, but you who would YOU want Christian to be sponsored by?
Dibi: He looked fabulous in Versace when Bruce Weber used to shoot him. I think it should be something really unpredictable. Ralph Lauren’s Purple Label perhaps? I love the absurd in life, so I think that might be a good fit.
—————————————————————————————
What depresses you Dibi Fletcher? I mean really downright fucking depress you that you want to cry?!!! - Marcus Phenbam
Dibi: My kid doing drugs!!! It’s the most heartbreaking experience a parent can live through. It’s so senseless.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi, many years ago, I truly loved and admired the artword (ads) you did for Christian Fletcher. The image of Christian with the mohawk, the image of him surfing with black trunks on, etc. Could you please post these beautiful paintings again or any more of that kind that you did? And do you continue to do this medium? - Chara Rowlin
Dibi: Thanks, that’s very nice. I haven’t been painting a lot recently. I’ve been doing a lot more writing, but hope to get some time here pretty soon to get back in the studio.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi: So real quick, favorite scent, favorite memory, favorite drink, favorite snack, favorite person, favorite conversation, favorite hobby, and favorite person to hate. Look forward to your answers! - Steve Phillips
Dibi: Prada, a million favorite memories (I’ve had a long life), water, I’m not much of an eater, I can’t just pick one favorite person, the one I’m engaged at the time, ditto, there’s a few on the list - and I hope you don’t know them and if you do, you hate them also so there’s no use to mention them by name.
—————————————————————————————
Okay Im’a gonna put you on the hot spot Dibi. What do you think is a move that Nate and Christian do really well and what do you think even after all these years, they can still work on? Oh i’m talking surfing! - Brian
Dibi: They both do great airs. Nathan’s doing things in big waves that are amazing. They’re having fun and being respectful what more could I want???
—————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, nothing tastes better than the first bite of an apple or a slice of cantaloupe. What’s something simple that you take delight in? A fruity question from a fruit, so yes, dear, what tantalizes your taste buds? - Eric Parker
Dibi: Casaba melon is rub-your-feet-together fabulous.
—————————————————————————————
Have u ever been to a Turkish prison? - Calculatą Decimation Noce
Dibi: No, I’ve thankfully managed to stay out of all prison systems.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi, were you a good kid, stubborn kid, bad kid, complacent kid. I gotta know what kind of kid eventually turned out to be CF’s mom! Ha ha ! - Paul Stewart
Dibi: I never lied, cheated or stole anything. I was very determined to do what I wanted. I was bright, hated school and authority. I ran away early and have tried to live honestly with my choices.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi Christian asked us about selling out, what do you think is a sell out and is selling out all so bad? Of course CF didn’t bother to answer his own question sooo - Brett Fischer
Dibi: I really don’t know what is selling out. By the time you’re my age, you better figure out how to buy in.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi, the Bible Bowl??? CF does bible study? LOL say it ain’t so! LMAO!!! - Larry Nohr
Dibi: No, he doesn’t do bible study; he and Greyson are lucky enough to be invited there to skate.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi, Herbie, Christian, Greyson and Nathan: Do you guys ever all just sit down and trip on what a wild adventure your lives have been? - Scott Kroeger
Dibi: Sometimes, and it’s really fun and interesting as each one of us tends to bring up a different memory that we get to laugh about. Sharing your history and getting to see it from different perspectives is always amazing. I feel very fortunate.
—————————————————————————————
Here is a question from yesteryear, at the time when your sister Joyce Hoffman was at the peak of her surfing career, who were her sponsors? - Daniel Lumont
Dibi: It was so different then, I remember Leland Triumph Motors gave her a car to use when she traveled to different countries, as did Honda Motorcycles. She got her boards from Hobie. She received a small bit of money and product for Bonnie Bell Cosmetics and was also in their ads. Random things like that, but it wasn’t anything like now.
—————————————————————————————
hi dibi, John From Cincinnati. Was the character played by Rebecca DeMornay based on you? Which of the characters were the most like their counterpart (you, CF, Herbie, etc) and the most like their counterparts? - Thomas Allison
Dibi: It was never supposed to be about us, and I really don’t see any similarities between the characters and the members of my family.
—————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, ha ha, this is so cool asking Christian and Nathan’s mom questions. So I read on Stab that interview with Nathan, was that all fabricated? If not, is there still sibling drama? Man, me and my brothers have really gone at it and have had blown out fights so I can relate! - Nick Mochino
Dibi: I believe Christian and Nathan have really come to a better understanding and have started to rebuild their friendship, and I’m stoked for that. Bruce [Irons] will never have the chance, so call your brothers - they’re the only ones you’ve got.

Just to remind you guys, I’ve left all the questions written as is. I’ve figured, why go out of my way to make some of you guys look smarter than you actually are and correct all your grammatical errors? Fuck that. - CF
Hey Dibi, whatever happened to Think Fast? I was at a store in Malibu a couple of years back and bought a Think Fast shirt. It was two sizes to big but I remembered it was Nate’s gig so I wanted to buy it and save it as a memento. I see CF’s comeback here on FB with his apparel and whatnot but what about Think Fast and Nate? - Troy Viske
Dibi: Nathan rides for Analog and it would be a conflict of interest at the present time. Maybe at some later date he’ll want to revive it, so stay tuned.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, do you believe in astrology if so how deeply? What is your sign and Herbie’s? Are you guys compatible? - Grace O’Neal
Dibi: I think some of it’s quite interesting, but I don’t let it dictate my life. Herb is a Capricorn and I’m a Virgo; we’re quite compatible.
————————————————————————————–
Hey there Dibi! “John From Cin” was great though I’ve read you want nothing to do with it. Why is that? Was it not headed in the direction you wanted it to? - John From Santa Barbara
Dibi: I don’t think it was headed anywhere, and obviously HBO didn’t either.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, do you have an itinerary of all the events Greyson will be skating at? Thank you! (P.S. I’m not a groupie I just act like one. :p) - Devin MacAllister
Dibi: No, I think he and Christian are playing it by ear right now. The Ultimate Boarder is coming up and I think they’ll be participating. Other then that, who knows?
————————————————————————————–
Hello Dibbie, do you sell personal photos of Nathan? Or do you know if Gotcha or Art Brewer would sell any from their archives? I am looking for photos of Nathan ages 14-17. Thank you. NF Fan/Collector - Tamara Weitz
Dibi: I’m sorry, I sure don’t. Gotcha is long gone and I can’t answer for Artie.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, do you think if Greyson wasn’t a Fletcher he’d be interested in something say like medicine or law or engineering? - PT Vacarro
Dibi: I’m sure I can’t answer with any authority, who knows what any of us might have been had we been born into different circumstances?
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, where do you think social networking will be 5 years from now? Facebook surely has openeed doors for us looking at a glimpse of you, christian and nathan’s mama and christian the man himself! Thanks for always sharing! - David Pedersen
Dibi: If I knew where we’d be in five years, I might have made different choices. But here we are being able to connect with people globally in an open forum and I’m grateful. So, I guess I’ll just watch it all unfold and be a part of what I can.
————————————————————————————–
Sorry for the loss of your dad I read about him and Christian put his picture up surfing a long time ago. Sorry for your loss again Dibi Fletcher. - Reggie Schmidt
Dibi: Thank you for you condolences, but it was my Uncle Flippy, my father’s brother, that passed away after being very ill for awhile.
————————————————————————————–
So is it true Nathan forgot to deposit and cash in a check for 20 grand? WTF??????????????? - Steve J.
Dibi: I have no idea? I’ve never heard anything about a missing 20 grand, but it makes for an interesting story.
————————————————————————————–
Don’t take this the wrong way, Herbie. A true big fan of your surfing AND artwork. Your boards are friggin’ amazing! But come on, dude, let’s show up some Dibi artwork! I recall her artboard pieces before. Upload them on your site dude! Don’t hold back! - Gary Hanson
Dibi: Thanks, I need to get some new photos done and then we’ll put them up.
————————————————————————————–
OMGGGGGGGGGG Yippee! Loved the pic of Christian with Santa. And I love all your other photos. You are so beautiful and graceful and elegant! You certainly are a beauty. The family photos you share with us is what I look forward to most as well as your thoughtful and honest insight! - Cynthia Milos
Dibi: Thanks, doing this is one of the fun things that comes my way. I’m glad you enjoy it.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, who is on the offical Astrodeck Team Roster? - Joe Nied
Dibi: Is there an official team roster? We’ve had so many great riders over the years, I don’t know where to start.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi. Here’s a fun question, I think. Name both a TV character and a Film character you identify with and who you would like to portray. - Jamison Casem
Dibi: I guess Mrs. Cleaver’s out. How about Lucy for TV and any of the dames in my favorite Film Noir classics for the screen.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, Conan and Jay are stale. And oprah’s overrated. We need you, woman. we need all of everyone to read this stuff not just CF’s fans! - HB Fan
Dibi: Thanks, that’s very nice. You never know what life has in store, so I’m on for the ride.
————————————————————————————–
2010 must have been awful for you Dibi and Herbie and your sons with the loss of Philip and Andrew. - Stacy Ferber
Dibi: Loss is always sad, but there’s always wonderful things as well to keep the balance. I try to stay positive and be grateful; all things pass.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi! I truly enjoy surfing the Facebook pages as well as Herb’s, Christian’s and the Astrodeck websites. Always a good visual read. I enjoy “Hey Dibi” and The D-Side chronicles as well as Christian’s insane humor and Herbie’s art trips. When are we going to be exposed to a website solely dedicated to your projects? Really enjoy the Fletcher collaborations! - Mark Chapmann
Dibi: Right now, I’m kept plenty busy keeping everyone glued together, and it seems right. I’m a great team player and as you said, the above are works of collaboration so it seems fitting for the time being.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, Greyson doesn’t answer questions. neither does christian so I’ve come to you. would greyson do another show or a movie if the material was something he would be interested in? Wondering is all. - Manic Panic
Dibi: He seems very happy doing what he’s doing right now, but who knows what’s in the future?
————————————————————————————–
hey dibi, does herbie still shape customs? are you still sculpting? is what’s old still new and what’s new not old? - P.K.
Dibi: Herb still shapes some, I’ve been writing quite a bit, but I’m designing a few new pieces, and as soon as time permits, I’ll be on it.
————————————————————————————–
mama fletch! I just fucked up my acl. no surf, no snowboarding. FML FML FML!!! how did nathan recuperate? PT? just crusiing? this is driving me shitbrains. so bummed out. - Rudy Twidlen from PR
Dibi: He rested, ate well, and then pushed himself like hell. Started out with a bit of PT, then hit the gym, rode his bike, and surfed to rehab. No short cuts, sorry!
————————————————————————————–
I noticed you didn’t do an Andy Irons tribute which I was kinda surprised about since I know the Fletchers are tight with the Irons. Good piece on Transworld there with the younger set of siblings. Just was curious as to why is all no biggie. - Danny T.
Dibi: I thought it became a media circus, and contrary to popular opinion, some things are better experienced in private. I’ll truly miss him.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, any time soon that Nathan will have a fanpage or website like Christian does? I am a fan of both of your talented and gorgeous sons! Hehe. (= Heather Cooney
Dibi: I don’t know, Nathan’s very private. But I guess stranger things have happened, although at the present, I can’t think of one that would surprise me more.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, I know you guys get hasseled about the Bloodshot era but could you post up a photo or video of when the boys rolled through town? Brings me back to such fond memories. Thanks! - Jeff H.
Dibi: I think someone posted some photos awhile ago, I’ll try to find them. Herb didn’t go on the trip so we really don’t have anything from the tour in the archives.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi! What were the highlights and the lowlights for you in 2010? Always a fan, Meredith Quiroz
Dibi: When I sit and try to conjure up highs and lows, it seems a bit difficult as there are degrees of both. Everyone’s healthy, which is the best. I know that sounds trite but looking back over the years of huge dramatic injuries, addictions and all the other hardships families go through, perhaps something we seem to take for granted is the greatest highlight. I try not to dwell on the lows and there were a few that were very difficult, but with the passing of time, they seem to fall into the makeup of who we are… part of the life process. I hope I can live up to my expectations and that’s the best I can do for this year and all the ones I’ll be lucky enough to experience.
————————————————————————————–
Art, sculpting, ballroom dancing, John From Cincinnati so what’s next for you Mrs. Fletcher? Maybe a trip around the world as a hot air balloon exhibitionist or going to Sonoma to grow, pick and label your own winery. What is an endeavor you haven’t embarked on yet but wish to? - Mark Whitmore
Dibi: It’s funny you mentioned wine, Herb ran into someone recently that was looking for distribution for his vineyards. I told Herb I can’t take on anything else at present; he didn’t pay much attention, so I figure he’ll be asking me again soon. I try not to plan too much, you know the old saying about hearing God laugh?
————————————————————————————–
Why don’t you guys have any WW or ASS on dvd? Will you soon? Frothing for it here. - Jake Retveyld
Dibi: We’re making a new Wave Warriors, so hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy that soon.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi. Does Christian really work at Astrodeck? Is he a 9 to 5er???!!!! - No Name
Dibi: Not exactly 9 to 5, but yes he works here, with Herb, myself, and Greyson. It’s great that we’re all together and business is tough, so it’s time they all step up.
————————————————————————————–
Hi there Dibby, do you remember someone named Beverly Shelton from San Juan Capistrano? - J.Q
Dibi: No, I’m sorry, but I’m not great with names.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi! Recently read an interview with Nathan saying how Christian lived a different life; photo shoots with rock stars, famous photojournalists, etc. Do you think this was Nathan watching from outside and wanting to be included or just merely a matter-of-fact statement? Interesting lives you have all lived! - Fred Benson
Dibi: I’d say knowing Nathan, he was being matter-of-fact. He’s gone on to do so much of the same, so he realizes it’s just part of the life we live and not what defines any of us.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, was Herbie a pushover as a father? - J.W.
Dibi: Pretty much so; he was great at taking them on adventures. And me? Any one for the orthodontist?
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, Don’t really have a question to ask this time but wanted to send my condolensces about Flippy and ask how your father Walter has been doing? God bless you all. - Katie Saldero
Dibi: My Dad’s pretty good, thanks for asking. He’s certainly getting older, but aren’t we all? He still surfs and goes to work, but it’s not like it was even a few years ago. Enjoy the time you have, it goes by like a snap of the fingers.
————————————————————————————–
Does it flatter you guys when so many people look up to all you Fletcher or could you care less? I’ve looked up to Bruce Irons as a surfer though the guy seems like an asshole personality wise. But really thought it was cool he looks up to Nathan so much and so now I’ve become more of a Nathan fan and I’ve thrown Bruce to the side. I went directly to the source for gnarness. - Tim Duque
Dibi: I try never to take things for granted, and I’m surprised every time I answer questions that people care what I think. I’m not sure if “flattered” would be the word I’d choose; I think grateful seems to be a better fit for how I feel. Bruce is a great surfer and so is Nathan, so I see no problem in looking up to both of their surfing talents. They’re great friends to each other, and inspire one another, how cool for both of them.
