 Dibi's Russian contact Oleg was able to get Dibi a spot on Russian News TV as their American Guest Correspondent. Dibi will update Russian viewers on everything from American politics to pop culture.
Questions are left as written. That being said, some of you need to learn how to use Spell Check! - CF
Hi Dibi, what do you think of the whole Bobby Martinez debacle? I’ve heard a lot of different opinions on the whole matter and was curious on what you thought. Personally, I think Bobby needs to suck it up and stop acting like he’s some kind of martyr or victim. - Rob Gallagher
Dibi: I always find it interesting that when you have the great good fortune to get paid to go outside and play, there’s some guys that still find a lot to complain about. Wow, I’m grateful to work in the back of the Astrodeck warehouse packing boxes.
————————————————————————————-
Do you think having surfers who have sponsors such as Target, Toyota, etc. is great for the overall sport and visibility of surfing as far as mainstream appeal? - Carol Sendry
Dibi: When I was young, guys couldn’t afford to surf as a profession, and now with the big sponsors they have a chance to travel the globe in search of waves, so I’d say the upside to those fortunate enough to get the chance has been incredible. The downside are the crowds that are now everywhere. But progress is always both sides of the coin.
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, any chance of getting one of those Wave Warriors t-shirts I saw Slater and Machado wearing at that Wave Warriors photo shoot? Do you guys sell them anywhere? - Kyle Brown
Dibi: Those were for the photo shoot exclusively, but we’re printing ones that are very similar and they will soon be available on our website www.astrodeck.com
————————————————————————————-
Are stereotypes of surfers justified? Or do you think they’re insulting? You know, blonde, sunburnt, unemployed, living in a van, smoking weed all the time, etc. - Adam Wheeler
Dibi: To me, stereotypes are a lazy person’s way of marginalizing people.
————————————————————————————-
Hello Dibi Fletcher! I know Walter is your father and I think he’s great! I am a friend of Anthony Edwards and would see Walter jump in the water nearly every evening in Capo Beach out in front of his house. How is he holding up? And sorry to hear about Flippy. - Nick Randazzo
Dibi: My Dad’s great, thanks for asking. He still works full time, surfs, and plays his ukulele.
————————————————————————————-
Why can’t I buy Astrodeck slippers anywhere on Maui yet?!?! I ordered a pair 4 months ago and they really are the BEST, most comfortable slippers EVER! & they are really durable too! They are still like new after wearing them everyday for 3 months(they don’t get smelly either)! I’ll rep them for free & get em in shops here just so I can buy more! Aloha! - Robby Webb
Dibi: That’s really nice, thanks, we’re proud of the products we make. Maui’s pretty locked up by the “big” guys and they don’t want any of the shops to carry our goods. So, I guess you’ll just have to order direct, sorry.
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi. I would think you’ve been though a lot as Christian and Nathan’s mother as well as a person just living through these times with economy, terrorism, environment, etc. But still do things “SHOCK” or surprise you any more? - Chris Spiers
Dibi: Sometimes I get a little jolt, but mostly human natures seems to repeat itself. I try to be positive, laugh a lot, and be grateful!!
————————————————————————————-
I’ve never seen a photo of Julian Schnabel surf but I’ve heard he does. Does Herb have any film or pics of the guy surfing? - Grant Knoxe
Dibi: Yes, Herb has plenty. They’ve surfed together at many different spots, and Julian is a natural.
————————————————————————————-
Who is going to be in the new Wave Warriors movie? - Felipe Zamora
Dibi: Ah, that remains to be seen. It will depend on the footage we’re able to gather. With everyone traveling with camera men now, there is so much amazing film that it will be quite a job to pick through it.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, I’m worried about my 5-year-old son. I’ll call him “Joey”. I received a note from school saying that he has been chasing all the girls around the playground, trying to pin them down and kiss them. I can’t help but feel a bit alarmed about this behavior. Am I overreacting? - Tracy Lindstrum
Dibi: You’re being asked by the school to put a stop to the behavior. Boundaries are the most difficult job of a parent, but also the most important in the longrun. I wish you the best at picking the right words to say in the right manner so Joey hears the message.
————————————————————————————-
Does Julian Wilson ride for Astrodeck? He blasted about his pads on twitter so I was wondering is all. - Ryan Schweitzer
Dibi: He loves the pads, and we wish we could afford him. But, as it is, he goes to the local surf shop and buys them. Maybe that says something very interesting about the quality of Astrodeck?
————————————————————————————-
Describe the worst girlfriend Christian ever brought home. - John Winchester
Dibi: I’d really rather not, it’s all water under the bridge now and things are great!!
————————————————————————————-
hi Dibi I have been reading hey dibi for awhile and like it but i don’t think i have ever read a question where they ask you who your favorite artist is??? - Danny Regis
Dibi: I don’t have one; I hate to limit myself. It’s kind of like asking what dance I like best and I always thought the right answer is, the one that I am doing at the time.
————————————————————————————-
what was christian like as a 2yr old? - Christine Crispell
Dibi: Fearless, inquisitive, funny, precocious and adorable.
————————————————————————————-
Does Joyce still surf? - Bobby Gray
Dibi: She does a lot of stand up now with the cold weather, and surf’s more in the summer.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi. does it scare you to see Nathan riding HUGE waves? you have a very talented family. - Scott John
Dibi: Nathan feels very comfortable and loves what he’s doing. No matter what I feel, it’s my job to keep it to myself.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, were you disappointed that Love Burger in San Clemente was closed down? - James Gonzales
Dibi: I don’t eat burgers, so I was never really aware of it one way or the other to be honest. The guys go to a few different burger joints so I assume there are still plenty around.
————————————————————————————-
Wich son gave you the biggest headache? And why….  - Ricard Oliveira Dibi: I learned so much from each of them, I wouldn’t be who I am without all the things I’ve gone through. I’m grateful to them both for helping me grow up.
————————————————————————————-
haha who did C get his sharp tongue from? - Piu De
Dibi: I would say that he certainly has a lot of my family traits, and the gift of gab seems to be one.
————————————————————————————-
When I was a kid and my parents lectured me it went in one ear and out the other. I was like yah yah yah! You guys nag so much! Now as a father of 1 preteen and 2 teenagers, I find myself lecturing them all the time. Lol. Was that the same way for you Dibi? - Mike Stillman
Dibi: I’m sure that’s the way they took it, but as they are older now, we all laugh about it a lot. Lecturing seems to come with the territory. Being a parent is one hell of a hard job; good luck and I hope that underneath the “yah, yah, yah” attitude, your kids are smart enough to realize how much you care.
————————————————————————————-
Was Bruce on something when you interviewed him? The interview is f–king funny as hell! Great job! - Sergio Argumosa
Dibi: I’ve had the good fortune to interview Bruce quite a few times over the years, and he’s always over the top, animated! He’s one of my favorite people to ask questions - the answers are always unscripted and genuine traits I admire.
————————————————————————————-
Do you remember escorting Christian to high school one day? All the guys well and girls were like blown away! Hot mama!:)-I remember pumps and a skirt! Lol… The things we remember… - Michelle Patterson
Dibi: Of course I remember. Christian and I reminisce about the parent escort day occasionally and get quite a laugh out of it.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi. How are you? I enjoy your interviews with Juice Magazine and your DSide Interviews and Hey Dibi here. Christian has mentioned that you also write for some French and Japanese magazines. Are you now on the creative outlet as writer rather than scuptor/painter now? Also, any chance of getting those links to those interviews? Thanks! - Ivan Muir
Dibi: I wish I had time to do everything, but I work so much that the writing seems to have taken over. I’m lucky to have the opportunity to know such an interesting assortment of characters, and I feel that being a woman and a Hoffman-Fletcher gives me a bit of a different slant on surfing than most of the other writers. Christian doesn’t post links unless they’re
available with translation, but whenever somethings available I’ll try to make sure it gets posted. Thanks for the interest, I sincerely appreciate it.
————————————————————————————-
Greyson’s calendar is great! I read that all proceeds go to charity so I wanna know why he picked the Unicorn Existence Foundation rather than maybe the Surfrider Foundation or PETA? - Karen Van Buren
Dibi: Hey, it’s Greyson pick.
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi! Dibi, you’re way better than Dr. Phil! - Bob Cooney
Dibi: Thanks. A bit more random and humorous, I hope. But it’s great that people seem to enjoy it.

 An Old School Fletcher Family Christmas You asked, Dibi answered.
Here’s another round of “Hey Dibi” for your reading pleasure.
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, do you think holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah mean anything anymore? Or is it all too commercial now? – Joan Schwartz
Dibi: I can’t speak for anyone else, but I have so many great family memories around Christmas. I think it’s a wonderful part of the evolution of being a daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. It’s one of the few times a year that I get to experience all the above roles in a day and I’m grateful to pass on the traditions that have become a part of my family history. It’s also a great time to donate time and or money to charity as gifts for family and friends.
————————————————————————————
Hi there Dibi. I’ve read a lot about Herbie and Julian Schnabel being friends. Did they meet through through mutual friends in the art ciricle? – Wayne Turner
Dibi: Hey, Herb and Julian meet in Texas when they were both teenagers. Herb was there to compete in a surf contest and Julian lived there with his parents at the time. They didn’t see each other for many years and were reintroduced by a mutual friend.
————————————————————————————
Ok so if you got to cast the Fletcher movie, who would play you, who would play Herbie, and who would play Christian, Nathan, Greyson, Walter and Joyce? – Stephanie Neal
Dibi: I think the only ones I can think of to play us, would be us, we’re all unique and more complex then some one would be, pretending to be us
————————————————————————————
Do you think that there are certain individuals who were truly born evil? – Josh Killman
Dibi: YES!! I believe history proves that your question is correct.
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi. My friends piss me off. A few of them are sponsored by surf companies that I would kill for. They don’t even care or appreciate what they get for free. I don’t think I would ever act this way. And they weren’t like this when we were way younger. I trip out how much they’ve changed! – Mike Paulsen
Dibi: That’s really sad, pretty soon perhaps they’ll have a tent at one of the “Occupy” spots, expecting another free hand out. In the words of Margaret Thatcher, “Socialism is a great idea until you run out of other peoples money.” I’m sure a lot of the companies are getting down that road about now and the faucet is starting to run dry, in many ways I think it will be great for your “sponsored” friends. It will help them become of much more value to themselves in the long run.
————————————————————————————Hey Dibi, I love the Wave Warriors photo shoot. But why weren’t you in it? – Linda Musser
Dibi: As usual, I was at the office working. Someone has to do everything while the guys are on the beach. I did get to write about it, and I was stoked to have the opportunity.
————————————————————————————
I dig your pads! The colored and designed ones are so sick!!!! With your artistic background are you the one who designs them Dib or Herb or you both? – Brent Karsson
Dibi: Thanks, that’s very nice. We all take great pride in the quality of the pads we put out and we all have a hand in the design process.
————————————————————————————
Hello Dibi. What do you think is right with this world? What’s wrong with this world? – Scott Foreman
Dibi: I think people are what’s right, and people are what’s wrong.
————————————————————————————
Who is your favorite Wave Warrior? Who is Herbie’s? Who is Christian’s? Who is Nathan’s? – Gregg Rausch
Dibi: For me, that’s like asking what’s my favorite color. I don’t have one, each is perfect at the right time and in the right conditions. I can’t answer for the guys, but I’m sure they feel much the same as I do.
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi are you going to be doing any more interviews for Dside and Juice? – Elaine Wheaton
Dibi: Yes, I do them as often as I can, and I’m fortunate to get to work with other international publications, so I have a chance to interview a broader range of people.
————————————————————————————
When are we going to see another surf trip with the likes of CF, Nathan, Herbie and maybe throw Greyson in there as well?! – Jordan Cruz
Dibi: They were just in Hawaii for a couple of weeks, so I’m not sure when they’ll be hitting the road again.
————————————————————————————
How old do you think a child is by the time he or she has already defining character and personality traits? – Paul Grossman
Dibi: When I first had kids I was so young I didn’t think much about it, in fact I didn’t think much at all, I kind of learned on the job I guess, but from my own experience I’ll tell you from the very beginning the boys were different. Individual in every way, from the pregnancy to adulthood, they were unique. I think we all see the world through our own eyes and there may be some family similarities but I think we all have our own path and our own way of seeing, feeling, and acting on it.
————————————————————————————
Sometimes I wonder how we all lived back in the 80s and 70s without cell phones and the internet! Do you think it was better then or now? – Tom Graven
Dibi: It was just different, I can’t say better or worse because it is what it is, and there’s no use living life in the rear view mirror. Innovation is happening so quickly I think it’s a pretty exciting time to be alive!
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi, the holiday season always sucks for me. I basically celebrate Christmas but my paternal grandparents are Jewish. I wasn’t raised with the Jewish faith but I feel bad because I don’t want them to think that I am not interested in their religion and culture. – Josh Weiss
Dibi: I have a great curiosity about everything and if I was you I’d take the time to learn as much as I could from your grandparents, they’re part of you, and you owe it to yourself to pay attention before they’re not here to share their time with you.
————————————————————————————
Any new projects for you and Herbie for 2012? – Danny Marquez
Dibi: OMG, where do I start? I have nothing really planned with dates, but a list of a hundred things that I need to get done; from a new Wave Warriors, to putting a book together for it, and all the other things that make the show go. It seems that there are new things that jump on the list daily, I guess that’s why things are always interesting and challenging. Sometimes I feel like one of those circus performers that have the sticks with the spinning plates, it’s tough to keep them all going, but interesting as hell if I can do it.
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, wow! I am so excited about the upcoming Wave Warriors movie. Is this the 6th one? Since the last one came out, back in the 90s, what made you guys start production on WW VI now? – Gary Root
Dibi: Yes, contrary to what you might have read, it is the VI in the series. Number V we did with Warner Brothers and so there were so many more hoops and paperwork and all the other BS that working with a huge conglomerate entails. This one feels much more like 1-4; our own deal, and the timing just felt right.
————————————————————————————
Greyson is such an amazing skater. No doubt lineage has a lot to do with it! Does Greyson surf too? – Phil Jebsen
Dibi: Yes, he surfs also, but he excels at skating.
————————————————————————————
So I’m gonna ask what you asked Bruce Irons. Who is your favorite historical figure? – Vance Padilla
Dibi: I admire so many people for so many different qualities that it’s hard to pick one. I just read the Steve Jobs book and I really admired his design ability, but certainly thought as a dad he pretty much SUCKED. I believe that it’s probably true in most circumstance. They’re great and admirable qualities in many, but a favorite with warts and all is hard for me to say.
————————————————————————————
Dibi seeing how Christian was THE big movement for aerial surfing and seeing now how Nathan has blown up at Chopes, did you ever think that these groms surfing Poche would grow up to be such legends? – Bill Currier
Dibi: I had no idea that my life would be anything like it is in all honesty.
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi. So who are the new Wave Warriors? From the recent photo shoot, looks like there were a lot of new faces mixed with some of the OG people. Are you guys going to have a special segment on Andy Irons and Marvin Foster? – Timothy O’Shea
Dibi: I’m sure they will make the cut and I can’t say for certain right now who else will be in it as it will depend a lot on the footage.
————————————————————————————
Does is scare you to see Nathan riding HUGE waves? You have a very talented family. – Scott Johns
Dibi: Yes and no. He’s trained and loves it, I’m grateful that he gets to do something he has a passion for.
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi do you know someone or have a “friend” who only calls or contacts you when they need something? I haven’t heard from this guy in over 3 years and he suddenly Facebook messages me, asking me for a favor. What a kook! – Freddie Ackerman
Dibi: You would not believe all the people that call, e-mail, and message asking for pads!
————————————————————————————
Does Joyce still surf? – Bobby Gray
Dibi: She mostly rides wave on her SUP board now, but she still surfs if the waves age good. It’s just damn cold and pretty flat now.
————————————————————————————
I read where it was mentioned that you made Nathan wear a pink wetsuit when he was young so you could keep an eye out on him in the water. I thought that was such a fantastic idea so now I make my little ones wear a bright orange and blue suit as well. Thanks for the idea Dibi! – Hal Manson
Dibi: I’m glad I can be of help. I could spot Nathan anywhere in his pink wetsuit!
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, question for you and Herbie both. What made this WW photo shoot different from the last one? – Jim Mackie
Dibi: I’m not sure what made it different for Herb, as I’ve stated before I do not like to speak for anyone else. What I thought was different? The last one was done 25 years ago, and it was amazing to think that it had such an impact that the best young surfers, who weren’t born at the time of the last shoot, felt honored to be part of the Wave Warrior Team, I think that says something pretty amazing.
————————————————————————————
What did u think of Christian’s unique style (hair, clothing etc) – Trey Walley
Dibi: I think it’s great that he’s always had his own style. Sometimes it’s a bit outlandish, but certainly never dull or boring.
————————————————————————————
What was Christian like as a 2yr old? – Christine Crispell
Dibi: Fantastically FUN!!
————————————————————————————
Dibi one, no THREE complaints about the Wave Warriors photo !!! 1. Where were YOU? Where was Greyson? And where was Walter Hoffman??? – Janice Halpert
Dibi: I’m not a Wave Warrior, as I do not surf, Greyson was skating , and my Dad was at work. I’m grateful that I get to write about the experience as I do feel I have a valid voice having been so involved, but the photo is about the “surfer”.
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, will you have a New year’s resolution? – Craig Morton
Dibi: No, I’ve never made one yet, so I don’t expect to make one this year either. I think the pressure of a one day deal is a bit overrated.
————————————————————————————
Dibi what is the nicest thing a fan has ever said or done for you? – Shannon Gibbs
Dibi: That’s so funny, I had no idea I had fans. Shocking idea. A stranger opened the door for me the other day, and I thought it was so nice. I think most people have forgotten how to be polite and it seems a bit odd as manners are free.
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi. Did you roughhouse with the boys a lot growing up? – Jon P. Billings
Dibi: Herb roughhoused with them. I took them to the beach and played with them in that way.
————————————————————————————
Why can’t I buy Astrodeck slippers anywhere on Maui yet?!?! I ordered a pair 4 months ago and they really are the BEST, most comfortable slippers EVER! & they are really durable too! They are still like new after wearing them everyday for 3 months(they don’t get smelly either)! I’ll rep them for free & get em in shops here just so I can buy more! Aloha! – Robby Webb
Dibi: Thanks, that’s very nice. Most of the outlets on Maui are pretty tied up with the big boys so it’s hard to compete. But I believe in patient perseverance and I feel our time is coming.

(Photo: “What can I say? Sometimes you just gotta let ‘em take control!” Dibi Fletcher putting all trust in the hands of Julian Schnabel.)
Hey Dibi. My brother has a $100,00 student loan and majored in European Folkore. My dad suggested he get a job working at Starbucks or In-N-Out (they have great benefits) but he doesn’t want to and says he wants to go protest at Wall Street. My mom wants to give him the money to fly out to New York. My dad and I are against it. What do you think of it all? - Paul Orozco
Dibi: I’m with your dad. I believe in hard work, and your brother better get used to it or I guess he’ll be like the 52% of the population living off all of us that go to work. What a shame.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
I threw a birthday party for myself a few weeks ago and I have to say I’m really bummed out with the turn out. Only about 9 people showed up when over 30 told me they were coming. I spent so much money on food, drinks, etc. Now I’m just really pissed off and annoyed with all those who didn’t show up but said they would. Am I just being a big baby about all of this? - Evan Mathers
Dibi: Bummer, but interesting lesson. Next year, meet at a restaurant where everyone that shows can chip in. It will seriously keep down the overhead.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, how are you? Anyway, maybe you can give me some advice. My friend Mike really likes this chick named Karen, who I’m really good friends with. He keeps asking me to hook it up with him. Karen told me she has no interest in him whatsoever. I told him that she wasn’t interested in being in a relationship or as he liked to put it “hook up”. He won’t take no for an answer and keeps pestering me about it. What can I say to get this kook to stop hassling me about her? - Dan “Tweet” Bachmann
Dibi: Give him her number, it sounds like she’ll set him straight.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Dibi, my friend has a 5-year-old son who is obsessed with musicals and Princess Jasmin from that Alladin Disney cartoon. She thinks it’s funny and cute when he wants to dress like a girl and wear a long wig and have make-up on. After reading about things in the news lately, I asked her if Robby (her son) ever wanted to join the Girl Scouts, would she allow him to? She said she wasn’t sure. I don’t think she should encourage this behavior. Am I wrong? -
Dibi: Wow, beyond my pay scale, but I’d sure look for someone professional to talk to make sure I was equipped to deal with what might be some difficult decisions.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, this is a random question I guess. Maybe a dumb one too. I dunno. But I see a lot of surfers, pro surfers, wearing t-shirts while they’re out surfing instead of a rashguard. Why is that? I know it’s to protect themselves from the sun but wouldn’t a rashguard be better? I think shirts get so heavy and floppy in the water. - Erik Sundstrom
Dibi: CF used to wear a wife beater while in Fiji, but it was just to protect him so he could use a front foot pad that he never goes without.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
My father passed about 5 years ago and now my mother is in her twilight. Her mind isn’t what it used to be. I would like to be with her and take care of her and have the capability to do so. My siblings think we should just put her in a nursing home. We grew up with the same mother but I just feel like they’re being so callous about this. I am heart-broken. - Phyllis McCullough
Dibi: It’s a really difficult decision that all of us have to face with aging parents. I think the best thing for you and the siblings is to get together and discuss the financial situation because that, unfortunately, will be the basis for how most of the choices will have to be made. I think about how I want it for me and figured I better work my ass off so I can have some quality choices, and have the control to make them before someone has to make them for me.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Dibi I’m stuck in the middle between two friends. My friend “Jenny” lent my other friend “Susan” $7.00 for lunch. Not that big of a deal, I guess. But Jenny constantly brings up with me how Susan has not paid her back that $7.00. I said, why don’t you bring it up to her? And she says she doesn’t want to look stingy about it but that it annoys her that Susan has made no attempts to buy her lunch or pay her back. Should I drop hints towards Susan about the money she owes Jenny or just stay out of it? - Tracy Liu
Dibi: Stay out of it, not your problem! Money makes many issues completely insane.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
There’s a guy at my work who wears too much fucking cologne. I swear, you can still smell it in the elevator. I asked him if he could ease up on it and you know what the motherfucker did?? He actually started splashing MORE of it not only on himself but in his cubicle, on the plants, etc. What the fuck dibi????? - Luke Gervase
Dibi: HAHA, that’s very funny. I’m at a loss, most of the guys I know don’t really wear cologne and if you already asked him to knock it off, the only thing I can suggest is figuring out how you can move as far away from him as possible.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi! I have a friend who also works in the same office that I do. During our social gatherings on weekends, he is a different person than he is in the office. He’s really fun and out-going but at work, he’s actually rather cold and distant and I find that odd. Or is he just being a good professional by acting this way towards me in the work environment? - Douglas Walther
Dibi: My work environment is very casual, which I really enjoy, but there’s so much regulation in most businesses it’s sad - but probably better for keeping your job in the long run.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, I have a problem and maybe you can help me. I’m 17 years old, a senior in high school, and plan to attend UC San Diego next Fall. I’ve received early admission. My problem is my dad. He eats, sleeps and breathes surfing. All my dad knows is surfing. In fact, he wanted me to apply to UC San Diego or Pepperdine just so he could visit me and the surf. He is stressing me to join the surf team at UC San Diego and though I like surfing it’s not my life the way it is his. He is so extreme about it that he’s told me that if I don’t join the UCSD surf team, that he won’t be paying for my tuition. I don’t get it. Does he expect me to be a pro surfer? Why is he forcing his obsession with surfing on me? I feel like he values surfing more than helping me with my education. - Mike Mariano
Dibi: Why not join the surf team if it gets the tuition paid? There’s no free lunch, and it seems to me a few hours surfing in the morning is a pretty easy way to get some help for the things you find most important.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, I have a cousin who just got out of prison. He’s been in the system all of his adult life. My aunt bends over backwards to work hard and take care of things. I just want to beat his head in the way he treats her when he’s out. Like she’s his slave, cooking for him, giving him money to go mess things up again. I’ve even told her she needs to be more tougher with him but I think she’s actually intimidated of him. It’s not like she can kick him out, he won’t leave, and it’s not like she’ll ever call the law on his sorry ass. I feel helpless in watching all this go down. He’ll be the end of her! - Terry Govern
Dibi: Too bad for them both. They’re in the dance of dependency and it’s really sad, but both being adults, unless they get help they’ll spiral through it to one of it’s inevitable conclusions.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Do you think it’s wrong that I pressure my friend to stop rollerblading? I just think it’s so lame and don’t like other people calling him a fag. He doesn’t seem to care. Why does it seem to bother me more than it does him? - Justin Roy
Dibi: If he’s enjoying himself, why do you care what anyone calls him??
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
People say that real loyalty is when you stick by your friends no matter what. So would you think I were an asshole if I bailed on my friend who tried to stab someone? I can’t get involved with that kind of shit! It’s too gnarly! - Craig Jasper
Dibi: What do people say stupid is??
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi I just have a quick question and thought I could get your insight. I’m not sponsored by any company but due to an inheritance, I’ve received $104,000. Could this last me to try and give the WQS a shot? And if so, how long do you think I could travel and pay for my comp fees? Thanks!
Dibi: It’s one of the easiest things in the world to spend money that you didn’t make, a lot harder to spend what you worked hard to make. You could blow the 104K in no time at all or invest it and change your future forever. If you’re good enough to give the WQS a shot perhaps you might try to find a couple of sponsors and be willing to use a small amount of your own money so you have skin in the game and invest the rest to have something to fall back on.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hey dibi do you think things like Twitter and Facebook just encourage people to talk more shit and say things they wouldn’t normally say to a person’s face? I can’t believe some of the shit I read on those things! People don’t seem to care about privacy anymore! - Steve Reyes
Dibi: Yes, everyone seems to want to be emotionally naked in public. Some of it is pretty disturbing.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Maybe I should ask you this, since you are the mom of CF! I am thinking of getting tattoos. But I hear people get addicted and can’t stop getting them. I don’t want to end up looking like an atlas map but knowing my personality I probably won’t stop after getting just one. So should I even bother? - Marc Voltaire
Dibi: I think they can certainly make life more difficult, and mine has been hard enough… I can’t imagine tattoos would have made it better. On the other hand, I think CF is perfectly happy with his. So I guess you’ve got two sides to the answer.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi. I’ve been married for 3 years to “Bob”. Recently, he told me that into our first year of marriage, he cheated on me with a random girl he met a friend’s bachelor party. He’s begged me for forgiveness and has said it’s never happened again. I believe him…however, it hurts still and I also wonder why he felt the need to tell me this after all this time? Was it eating at him? Is he testing me for a reaction? - Janet Reschlaum
Dibi: Interesting that he felt the need to dump the information on you so he no longer had to carry it alone. It’s nice that you’re able to forgive him, I don’t think I’d be quite so generous.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
I work drive-thru at Taco Bell and I hate it when my friends roll up because they always expect me to give them free food. It stresses me out. I’ve told them to cool it but they think it’s hilarious to come and demand freebies. Why do people always expect free stuff for nuthin! - Gus Fernandez
Dibi: I really don’t know. There isn’t one day that goes by that someone or two doesn’t call and expect free pads - it’s not like they’re free to me, and I always wonder why they have an expectation that they should be free to them, but I guess that’s the whole premise behind OWS.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
I am adopted and have never had any interest in finding or knowing about my birth parents. 4 months ago, I was contacted by my birth mother. She seems like a nice enough woman and we’ve talked every few weeks or so but it’s not like we’re bosom buddies. She’s asked to see me and has even offered to fly me out to Florida, where she lives. A part of me wants to, a part me of doesn’t. I feel so conflicted and also have this odd feeling of “betrayal” to the loving parents who raised me. Any suggestions on how I should go about this? Thanks, Dibi. - Devon Hoskins
Dibi: I think it’s a question that all adopted children face, and it’s got to be an individual answer. My biological father was never around and I found out years later that I had other half siblings, I met one, but there didn’t seem to be some long lost connection so it faded away as we went on our own life’s path. My life is what I make it and I really spend little time looking in the rear view mirror about what it should or could have been. The responsibility to be happy is our own. I don’t know if that helped, but you’ll have to do what’s ultimately best for yourself and accept the responsibility of that choice.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
I’m so sick of hypocrites Dibi! This guy was preaching to me about how it’s so great to be a vegan and to hug trees and blah fucking blah. Then I pointed out to him that his sneakers were made from suede and his watch strap was made from leather. He had a big “OOPS!” moment there, didn’t he? HA HA HA!
Dibi: The hypocricy is rampant, from the millionaire Michael Moore supporting OWS to the global warming fanatic Al Gore and his private jets, Nancy Pelosi getting in on the VISA IPO while the House was writing the regulations, the list goes on. The saddest thing is that your friend is just a small-time hypocrite compared to the real winners of the BS game.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hello Dibi! What a hoot! I’d like to know what is your first memory of money? Having it or spending it? - Kate Fowler
Dibi: We really had nothing when I was young, but I remember being really happy. I think the best was when we used to collect bottles and save the change to buy Popsicle’s for all the kids at the beach on Balboa Island where I lived.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
My girlfriend chopped her hair off and dyed it jet black and got snakebite piercings. She looks way too Goth and EMO now and frankly I just don’t like this new “style” of hers. I know it sounds shallow and she has so many other great qualities about her but physically it’s just such a turn off for me. But I feel like part of a relationship is that mutual physical attraction and so don’t I have the right to feel this way? - Brady Cullings
Dibi: I think it’s time to start looking around. She is.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hi there Dibi. I’m usually pretty shy and quiet. That doesn’t mean I don’t have an opinion on things but I guess I just don’t speak up when I should. I don’t know. I hate confrontation and drama. On the other hand my sister is very brash and loud to the point of obnoxiousness and embarrassment. Is one better th an the other? Am I being a pushover if I don’t say what I feel or is it best to just avoid problems and hurt feelings by staying quiet? - Laurie Ketthler
Dibi: Everyone has their own way of coping and dealing, that’s what makes relationships a mine field. I find it much easier to deal with open aggressiveness; passive aggression really blows my mind but it’s all a part of the drama.
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
I was watching that reality show, “19 Kids & Counting” and it’s about that crazy family, the Duggars. They have 19 kids, born and raised by the married couple of that show. Apparently, the dad made a killing with investments and rental properties so they seem self-sufficient and aren’t on any government assisted programs. But still, something seems wrong, to me anyhow, about having 19 kids even if you have the means to provide for all of them. What do you think Dibi? - Jim Curry
Dibi: I can’t imagine having 19 Christian’s!!

So my mom got a pretty good interview done with skate-turned-surf photographer Steve Sherman. It was cool to hear about Sherm’s roots; starting out as an 11-year-old skate rat in Indiana and then getting into photography, all within the curious progress to learn from what he had seen in skate rags and, in particular, the visionary musings of C.R. Stecyk.
The interview is going to be featured in an upcoming issue of Juice Magazine. But, in the meantime, you can click on the link (or copy and paste) to catch this little teaser piece with Sherm for the D-Side.

\And if you want to check out more of our clips and videos, go to YouTube and subscribe to our page, Zryder1.
Rumor has it, the next interview my mom is going to conduct will be with the elusive yet mystical Jason Jessee. That kinda makes him sound like a mysterious unicorn running through an enchanted forest, doesn’t it? I’m sure he’ll be pleased.

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
Hey Dibi, We met a few weeks ago, I stopped by the Astrodeck HQ and picked up the Barney in white and we talked about your Dad and the sandals named after him. I want to try to stop in soon and pick up a pair…Hope all is well…Take care! Oh as for a question ask Christian, or maybe you know…In reference to skateboarding what is wrong with mongol? Why is pumping mongol lame? - Richie Newhall
Dibi: I asked Greyson for his expert advice on this. Greyson: “First, it’s mongo. Second, it’s push. And third, it’s ugly.” And Christian said: “It’s nonfunctional and tiring.”
—————————————————————————————
This is for the Hey Dibi question section. My question is, Dibi do you think there are Hawaiian and Brazilian kids who rip harder than the OC kids but there never gonna be recognized as much cause of stupid phoney surfer stereotype? Or do you think they get enough coverage? Thanks. - Barry Blenkhorn
Dibi: What’s enough “coverage”? Kids used to surf because they loved it, now it’s about a sponsor. I think the whole thing has changed. And a lot of it? Not for the better.
—————————————————————————————
Hi there, Dibi. Putting all family loyalties, history and roots behind, just for the sake of this question, do you think you would have been drawn to surfing as an “outsider” looking in? - Brock Springer
Dibi: It’s really impossible to know, if I put all of my past aside like you suggest, I might not ever have had the chance to go to the beach or anything else. So I really can’t say.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi congrats on you and Herbie! Youv’e come a long ways babie! And you are still married to each other thru thick and thing! What is da secret to your success?? - Mark Hammy Bonaventura
Dibi: I’m not a quitter, and most of the stuff we might argue about, we already have, so why bother?
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi. Do you like Christian’s tattoos or not? And does he have a tattoo that says “MOM” - Rachel Carter
Dibi: I really don’t think about them one way or another, but I am glad he’s not a girl, ’cause like everything else, there is a double standard. No, “MOM” doesn’t seem to quite fit with the monster motif.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi and Christian, that photo of the two of you together…cherish those moments. Bruce Weber is a great photographer and he captures the moments so well but I think you two made it easy for him! - Alicia Hardwood
Dibi: Thanks, he’s really great to work with and I’ve been very fortunate to do so on quite a few occasions.
—————————————————————————————
What is some thing you think people are wrong about you and the family? - David Flemhing
Dibi: I think people generally think we’re much different than we are. We work hard, and are completely driven, have quirky senses of humor that others sometimes misunderstand. But I really don’t spend a lot of time analyzing what others think about us. It seems somewhat futile at this point.
—————————————————————————————
Christian, will your mom conduct any further interviews coming up for Dside or Juice? I’m a big fan! - Daniel Whelton
Dibi: Yes, I’ll do more D-Side. In fact, I talked to Jason Jessee the other day and he said he’d be stoked to do an interview, so as soon as he’s back down this way, we’re on!
—————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, do you think surfing will get bigger or smaller as far as popularity? - Joseph Miligiani
Dibi: Bigger, more crowded, more money, less SOUL!!!
—————————————————————————————
Do you think Christian and Nathan would have made a name for themselves in surfing if they weren’t Herbie Fletcher’s sons? Not being a dick but just really wanted an honest answer. - Paul Gothard
Dibi: Their talent made them. We made it easy for them to go surfing, living at the beach, but they stood on their boards alone.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi san come to Japan with you to i welcome hole family! - Junichi Nishida
Dibi: Thank you for the invite, I’d love to come again. I think Japan and its people are amazing.
—————————————————————————————
Hey dibi I guess this is more a question for Christian but anyway if he could chose 3 sponsors to sponsor him who would he chose and i dont mean just surf brands but maybe a drink company, shoe company, you know whatever. thatd be sick if he answered thanks dibi! - Corey Jackson
Dibi: This is what Christian said: “Donald Trump, Virgin Airlines. But I can see no one treating me better than my mom. She’s always been behind me.” And he just walked out of my office laughing.
—————————————————————————————
IF I NAME MY FIRST BORN FLETCHER CAN YOU GIVE ME ASTRODECK FOR LIFE? JUST KIDDING! HA HA HA IT WAS WORTH A SHOT!! - Rick Klievers
Dibi: Amusing. I wish Astrodeck made enough money to sponsor me!
—————————————————————————————
Where can I get a copy of Chop Suey Club? Was it ever released in regular theatres? Thanks. - Chris Hernandez
Dibi: No idea. Ebay, Amazon? I’m really not sure.
—————————————————————————————
Christian, please thank your mother. I really enjoy Hey Dibi and also The D Side Interviews. How refreshing and fun! Thanks so much for the wonderful read week after week! - Beth Waidmann
Dibi: Thanks for the support. I’m working on getting some more interviews, and as long as I keep getting questions, I’ll do my best to answer honestly.
—————————————————————————————
Do you think online and internet presence has ruined surfing? By that I mean with live webcams, everything being sales pitch with websites, magazines being online and not working on being a good publication, etc? - Micah Tolle
Dibi: I don’t think it’s one or two things that have taken the soul out of surfing, but all of it together has really made it way less cool in my opinion.
—————————————————————————————
Why don’t Nathan and Christian go on surf trips together? Used to see in the mags they always did with Herbie. Nathan still got a chip on his shoulder or what, man?!!!!!!!! - Jim Sullivan
Dibi: It was easy when they all lived at home, but they’re grown men now and it’s hard to get everyone’s schedule organized at the same time.
—————————————————————————————
Looks like the boys scored some fun out in New York. The Fletcher’s sure do live a life we all “can’t imagine!” Where were you on this trip, Dibi? - John Van Houten
Dibi: I was here sitting at my desk working. Not so glamorous, but a necessity.
—————————————————————————————
Individually speaking, what is your fondest memory of first Christian and then Nathan when they were groms? - Theresa Ohlani
Dibi: There are a million moments, thankfully, with both that have made my relationship with them extraordinary. It was all the little things; like watching them eat sandy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that they wanted to share with me. Laughing so hard, milk would come out their at the table. Making cookies for them when they came from school to share their day. All the stuff that might be taken for granted becomes the memories of the best we’ve had together.
—————————————————————————————
Why is Julian Schnabel so fascinated with the surfing world? He doesn’t surf. That ain’t surfing. freaking poser. Why are so many celebrities fascinated and claim to surf, it’s bullshit. Matthew Mcconaughafuck? That fat fuck Jack Osbourne? If what they do they think is surfing then FML! - Matt Downey
Dibi: Julian does surf and Herb’s made many boards for him. Yes, he doesn’t surf like Christian, but he has natural style and learned as a kid in Texas, where Herb first met him.
—————————————————————————————
Does Greyson snowboard anymore? I remember him in old ads with World and Ryan Scheckler. - Drew Simpton
Dibi: Given the chance, yes. They just were focused on surfing and skating this season. I’m sure they’ll try to take a few trips in the coming season.
—————————————————————————————
Didn’t know CF was born in hawaii. he play peewee football at sunset elementary? lol. How long he was raised here before the move to cali? - Koa Reynolds
Dibi: We had Christian in Hawaii, but moved to Idaho to go skiing when he was two.
—————————————————————————————
Christian I see your folks name attached to John From Cin. what did they do? I know Greyson starred in. Thanks man, you are the Air Master! - Troy Shaw
Dibi: This is not Christian, but Dibi. We were consulting producers, and from the final product, I guess you can tell no one much listened to us.
—————————————————————————————
Dibi do you help Christian come up with all those really deep and sometimes funny questions? Not that I’m complaining! - Jennifer Fowler
Dibi: Christian has always been different than anyone gives him credit for, and maybe now others will get a glimpse of what I’ve always known.
—————————————————————————————
I ain’t voting for Obama again. I don’t know if I’ll vote for Christian. But Dibi? Hell yeah! Dibi Fletcher for Prez! Ya got a campaign manger?  - Brian Friholtz
Dibi: Hope and change not working so great for you? I’d hate the job though, but I surely believe that we all deserve better.
—————————————————————————————
honestly speaking dibi, if christian was not written that letter by jeff booth and etc do you think that really started the drug spiral with christian or he would have gone down that way regardless of the letter? - tony ortega
Dibi: I don’t think most of life is predicated by one event, but more like the compounding of a series of events. Saying that, in hindsight, I believe that Christian ’s drug use was part of a series of poor choices.
—————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi, I really loved the photos of your beautiful mother. How gracious and elegant. I recall reading about your ballroom dancing as well. Is this another family gene much like surfing that’s in the family blood? - Helen Reynoldo
Dibi: I always took dancing as a kid, and got my mom into ballroom about 15 years ago. We used to go all over the country playing dress up together. It was a great time. But business got so difficult I really had to pay attention and just didn’t have the time to devote to a hobby.
—————————————————————————————
Do you think there should be drug testing in surfing WCT let alone all other sports? - Brent Luchman
Dibi: Whether I think there should be or not, it pretty irrelevant. I assume it’s just a matter of time. Dude, the government wants to dictate what light bulbs we use!
—————————————————————————————
Who or what do you not respect? - Clint Andreas
Dibi: I have no respect from the over-encroachment of the government on my civicl rights!
—————————————————————————————
THAT ANNIE LEVOBITZ PHOTO IS SO F–KING DOPE!!!! Any more shots like that? Any of Nathan from that shoot? - Michael Spurgess
Dibi: The photo is considered one of the top 100 photos of the 20th century. CF lucked out to be in it. Nathan wasn’t part of the shoot.
—————————————————————————————
Why CF looking for graphic artist when he has his own mom who is an artist! Step up CF come on dude!!!!! We’ve see it on Hey Dibi your mom’s the shit! Give her commission too! LOL!!!! - Eric Anthony
Dibi: We’ve got a whole new T-Shirt theme going that we’re all collaborating on, and I think they’ll be killer. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.

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
 Space Odyssey Series #1 by Dibi Fletcher: 40"x36"x8" thick. Made from wood, resin, copper.
Hi Dibi, how are you? My question is in regards to Walter your father actually. I am just curious about how Hoffman Fabrics came about with he and the late Flippy (RIP). Thanks you’re doing a great job! - Daniel Mercado
Dibi: Hoffman Fabrics was originally started by their father, Rube, in New York before either of them were born. They got into it after they grew up and were ready to settle down.
————————————————————————————–
Dibi I’ve read that you and Herbie lived in Sun Valley before moving to California. What made you guys locate to San Clemente of all places rather than let’s say Huntington, Newport, La Jolla, etc? - Marc Dwyer
Dibi: Both Herb and I were born and raised in California. I grew up in Capistrano Beach, and after years in Hawaii and a couple of stints in Sun Valley, we moved to Capistrano Beach where we lived for quite a few years before moving to our current location in San Clemente.
————————————————————————————–
Dibi surfing wise, what do you think Nathan does better than Christian and what does Christian do better than Nathan? And no diplomatic answers!  - Ken Overton
Dibi: Nathan is a confirmed big wave rider, and both Christian and I truly respect his talent in that respect. As for one being better than the other, I don’t think that’s ever been the case. They’re individuals and completely unique.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi! REALLY, I mean REALLY enjoy viewing the tiny glimpses of your artwork that Christian posts for us. Have you ever been formally trained? And furthermore, do you think something like art can be really taught? - Monica Lupe
Dibi: I’ve had some lessons in the past but I’m mostly self-taught and, yes, I believe that art can be taught to a certain degree… but greatness is something only a few are born with.
————————————————————————————–
Rumor has it that there will be a movie called Savage Beast’s Son starring hmmmmm Grayson Fletcher? Lol! Well that’s my idea anyway! - Tim Mercer
Dibi: That’s very amusing, thanks.
————————————————————————————–
I’m so confused! Lol. Sometimes I know Christian is joking around and sometimes I just can’t tell! Dibi, your his mother. Help us and tell us the truth! Did Christian really think about running for SC city council? - Vincent Torleoni
Dibi: Yes, and I hope when he has more time to devote to public service he’ll consider it again.
————————————————————————————–
Hey did nathan help start up analog? and what happened to think fast? Christian’s company seems to be going off so just wondering about think fast if it’s gonna make a comeback to? - Rick Leazher
Dibi: No, Analog is part of Burton and Nathan is sponsored by them. It got too much for Herb and I to manage and finance everything so we had to make some choices. I don’t know what’s in the future. I guess you’ll just have to stay tuned.
————————————————————————————–
DIBI HI YOU ARE SO COOL & AWESOME HEY DIBI ROX MY SOX IN COX! HE HE HE SO HEY I READ YOU DONT LIKE JOHN FROM CINCINATI CANT BLAME YOU IT GOT FUNKY DUNKY AS THE SHOW WENT ON BUT YOU MAYBE GONNA DO ANY MORE FUTURE PROJECTS WITH TV OR MAYBE A MOVIE? HOW ABOUT THIS A BIOPIC OF THE FLETCHERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Dave Ashton
Dibi: We’re working on a couple of projects right now that I think are interesting, but I’m not sure yet how they’ll be packaged. I’ve learned that I need a lot more control over the content in all future projects I’m involved in, or just say NO!
————————————————————————————–
hi dibi so hey i rememer read long time ago i think it was rolling stone or esquire one of those mags your family did an int for, that christian starred in a movie called the fave? was that a surfing movie? - joao armando
Dibi: I’ve never heard of “Fave”, so I can’t tell you one way or the other.
————————————————————————————–
why hasn’t Herbie made a new movie? i want some more A.S.S.! - Phil Kennedy
Dibi: They’re very time consuming and expensive, the shelf life now is about 10 minutes before the whole thing appears on YouTube - which makes for a nice hobby, but as a business model it SUCKS.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi! You are so beautiful. I love the photo of you and Christian, side by side. And it being a Bruce Weber photo adds to it. Any chance that we’ll get to see more photos of beautiful you? - Laurel Fishmann
Dibi: Never did like to have my picture taken much, but I could never say no to Bruce.
————————————————————————————–
You guys need to do a reality show! Would you do one if the chance came your way? - Trevor Montgomery
Dibi: We’ve been asked a couple of times, but the circumstances weren’t right and I think we probably get along too well.
————————————————————————————–
Okay come on. “Hey Dibi” needs to be bought and put into a column for Transworld Surf or syndicated live on access cable or Sirius. Maybe CF can read the questions and you can answer or there can be live call in from viewers. I wanna see DF live! - Peter North
Dibi: Thank you, that’s very nice.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi! Hope this isn’t too intrusive but I used to see Nathan out at Tar Farms. Does he own stables and horses? Like surfing Mavericks isn’t enough now he has to be a cowboy? =P - Tara Knowles
Dibi: My Mom, his grandmother, owns Tar Farms and he lives there when he’s not globe trotting.
————————————————————————————–
DIBI WILL YOU MARRY ME? - Dean Vacca
Dibi: ???????????
————————————————————————————–
What is the one thing that Christian has said in an interview that you wish he didn’t! - Kevin Monaghan
Dibi: I’m sure he’s said quite a few things over the years that have made his life more difficult, but it’s also a quality that I greatly admire in him.
————————————————————————————–
Lol I loved reading how you made Nathan wear a pink wetsuit so you could keep an eye out on him in the water. Got any pics of him in that thing? Thanks for Hey Dibi. - Sammy Carter
Dibi: I’m not sure, Herb has over 500,000 un-cataloged images that I’d have to look through, and I’m sorry to say that I just don’t have the time at present.
————————————————————————————–
No Fair! Walter’s YOUR dad. How about a great shot of you and him together? And while Im at it, did Herbie’s parents surf? Walter Hoffman rules! - Eric Maestersen
Dibi: As neither of us like our photo taken much, I don’t have many. But I should really work on it. And, no, Herb’s parents didn’t surf.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi! Can you post up photos of Nathan and Christian and you? I love what you’ve done so far! - Jill Lyndon
Dibi: I’m very sorry I can’t satisfy all the demands for photos I receive. I can barely fit time into my work schedule to get everything done as it is. Perhaps one day I’ll have time to sit amongst the thousands of images Herb has and reminisce. Until then, I’ll just put up what I can.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi do you know what magazine it was that CF did a modeling gig with David Lee Roth? Thanks. - Chris Ackerman
Dibi: Surfing Magazine, I think.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, hey dibi, hey dibi, hey woman! You ever tandem surf with Herb back in the dayz? - Kai Lucero
Dibi: No, but I did have a couple of different partners that I competed with.
————————————————————————————–
This should be a weekly column for the OC Weekly. No joke. - Brock Springer
Dibi: They already have and advice column, I believe, but thanks.
————————————————————————————–
Wanna know a great marketing tool and get more people to buy Astrodeck sandals? Have Dibi Fletcher pose in a bikini with those Astrodeck sandals on the beach and just say: milfs & beach sandals. you know you want them! (just kidding Christian, much respect to your mom, so don’t kick my ass! ) - Dave Armour
Dibi: I don’t know if any advertising would work unless I could come up with the 100s of millions of dollars to compete with the publicly traded companies. As it is now, the surf shops only want to carry the big guys, not a small company that’s actually family-owned and operated by surfers.
————————————————————————————–
I watch the footage of Greyson attackin’ OC skateparks almost every day. Gets my adrenaline rushing! da kids not so techie but the kid goes big!!!! Another fletcher in the air! But tell him to wear a f–king helmet! Do it Dibi! - Steve Philsner
Dibi: I have!
————————————————————————————–
Dibi! Please tell Nathan to stop smoking! Thank you. - Sara Lloyd
Dibi: Wow, why didn’t I think of that?
————————————————————————————–
You think you guys will ever have a biography or autobiography out? Slater did it and he’s so boring it’s not worth the read! I’m sure you guys have tons of stories to tell! - Danny Winger
Dibi: I will when the time is right.
————————————————————————————–
Damn who’d a thunk it? The Fletcher’s are taking over Manhattan! How come only New Yorkers get to see Savage Beast? What about us devout West Coasters?! - Brian Sway
Dibi: The reason they were shown in Montauk is, my friend, Bruce Weber, was on the selection board. I don’t know anyone like him out here in California that has always been behind us.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi. Do you believe in vitamins? - JJ McFly
Dibi: Yes, I take them everyday.
————————————————————————————–
What kind of music does Herbie Fletcher like? - Bill Derrick
Dibi: Herb like the Blues!
————————————————————————————–
Dibi. Um. Okay. Why are you not President of the United States? I think you should run against Palin. It’d be a hot match to say the least! - Stuart Riley
Dibi: I’m not much of a joiner, not politically correct, and I’d hate having to be “nice” when I’d feel like giving someone the finger.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi. Who are your influences in the surfing community (aside from your father and husband and sons) and who are your influences outside of the surfing community? - Wayne Hill
Dibi: Do you mean personally or style-wise? In life, I have many influences; from great writers, artists, family, and friends. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have been exposed through circumstances and my vast curiosity to a veritable smorgasbord of ideas.
————————————————————————————–
How do you want to be remembered Dibi? - Sean Michaelsen

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
Hey Dibi, I’ve been a big fan of your family for years. I had a battle with drug and alcohol addiction a few years back that landed me in rehab 3 times, and I know Christian has had his issues along hte same lines. Thankfully I just celebrated 9 years clean, got married a year and a half ago, and also am about to finish college. My question is even after being sober as long as I have I have still felt a little lost as to what I should do with my life, what is yoiur best advice for life after addiction? Thanks - Tolson Dwiggins
Dibi: It sounds like you’ve been doing all the right things. Keep it up and don’t make the mistake of living life in the rear view mirror.
So what do you think, Dibs? What’s a stereotype of surfers that you hate? Good Question CF asked. - Marsh Bevan
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi! Admire your family and your roots! On the nosy side, I was trying to do the math? Walter must have been just a kid when Joyce was born?? - TK Dover
Dibi: Yes, you’re correct.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, have read with much joy all your “Hey Dibi” series. My fave was the story of your outrageous outfit and going to school with Christian. What’s something your own parents did when you were growing-up that embarrassed the heck out of ya? Lmao! - Connie Prithias
Dibi: My dad was in the textile business and whenever my friends would come over, he’d grab their clothes and feel the fabric, look at the tags, and say “That’s cheap shit!” and give them a price quote per yard. I got so used to it, I didn’t pay much attention. But it embarrassed the hell out of my friends at first.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
How’s Nathan? - John Osinovich
Dibi: He’s doing really well, thanks.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Do elephant farts really have hallucinogenic effects! - Cesar Saiz
Dibi: Wow, maybe you ought to hang out at the zoo and find out.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Dibi, what is your meaning on life? – Mario Zavala
Dibi: As thoughts are things, it’s whatever you think it is.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
What were you and Herbie strict about? There had to be something! – Chris Jeromy
Dibi: I made Christian read every day for half an hour; he ended up a great reader and certainly an interesting communicator.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Dibi did Joyce go to San Clemente High? – Ellie Ochoa
Dibi: Yes, she was a senior the first year it opened.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, soooooo… those Bloodshot pics? - Edgar Bustamante
Dibi: I’ve tried to explain I don’t have any. Perhaps you can put a shout out on FB and maybe someone who was at one of the stops from the East Coast tour is holding and willing to share.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Dibi how often does Herbie surf? – Ray Hauser
Dibi: Depends on the surf, but when it’s happening, he’s on it.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Dibi, how can we get Christian to talk on his Facebook! (I mean he asks great questions but leaves us to fend for ourselves, ROFLMAO!) – Bob Wiznick
Dibi: I would guess that he’s using the medium exactly the way he wants, and doesn’t feel the need to referee.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Do you have the map to the other side of the universe? – Recycled House
Dibi: The back of your eyelids?
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Going through my old ASS vids. So sick. Miss those times. Nathans seen in one bungee diving I think this was tweak freaks? Where did he do that and whatever happened to his pilot’s license? – Rick Carr
Dibi: He did the bungee jump on the beach in France. He’s thinking about taking up flying again, so we’ll see.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Dibi Fletcher was the milf before we knew what milf was!! – Dan K. Boyd
Dibi: That’s amusing, I didn’t know what one was until I started this column.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Christian is my hero! Nathan is someone I look up to! Herbie I respect! Greyson is the next new thing! And you Dibi are the IT FACTOR! Shout out to all you Fletcher’s! – Stevie Meachum
Dibi: Thank you, we all appreciate your good wishes. It’s really very nice.

Dibi: Wow, would love to. Haven’t been in years and would love to return sometime soon.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Dibi what’s one domesticated homely thing you say you do. Your life with the art and dancing and friendship with the Bruce Webers of the world is as Christian has stated “a world I can’t imagine!” – Clarke Sebastian
Dibi: I cook dinner every night for myself and the guys, it’s a pleasure!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
You ever steal anything as a kid? Or did Christian or Nathan you know just little kid stuff like candy or whatevs? Just thought it’s funny to ask that’s all. – Aaron Ryder
Dibi: I never stole anything. As far as CF and Nathan go, I’d have to ask, but I doubt it.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
I’ve read in interviews with you and with Herbie about how you ran away as a kid and have been with Herbie ever since. What do you think about this in retrospect? – Phil Martin
Dibi: About running away, or being with Herbie? I’m very happy with where I am now, and I can second guess my whole life with what if’s, but I try to be grateful and appreciate the weird and wacky life I’ve had and enjoy all the great adventures that have led up to today.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
How long do I cook broccoli for an al-dente effect? – Renee Mularz
Dibi: Depending on how it’s cut will determine the time to steam. Do not boil!
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
I know Nathan rode for Gotcha but from his transition from Gotcha to Quiksilver did he ride for MCD for a short time (I know MCD came from Gotcha but was it’s separate company as well)…… thanks. – Oliver Zinman
Dibi: No, he never rode for MCD.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Dibi: Close your eyes and go inside.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, do you know a way to permanently get rid of mosquito’s? – Josh Haworth
Dibi: No, they’ve never liked me much. I probably eat too much hot sauce, like the Tabasco commercial.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Do you guys as a family sit down and watch movies together? – Roger Kissmeth
Dibi: Sometimes when everything fits together, but not often.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
What’s the Fletcher family itinerary this summer? Dibi, Herbie, Nathan, Christian and little Greyson not so little though right! – Ben Hethcourt
Dibi: Herb’s leaving for NY later this week for an art show. Then we go again later in the month to the film festival where they’re showing “Super Natural”. CF and Grey are going back to Japan to show support, and who knows what else will fall into line?
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
DIBI DO YOU KNOW TOMORROWS LOTTO NUMBERS?  - Paul Nievens

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

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.

 The Fletcher fam damily back in the day. Just to remind you guys, I’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 and correct all your grammatical errors? Fuck that. - CF
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, how are you? I have a question. What do you think if this country were to enforce that all men, by the age of 21, serve in our military for at least 2 years? - Timothy Ryan (San Clemente)
Dibi: In my Dad’s generation, all men went in the service; he said it made a man of him and always thought it would have been the best thing for all his grandsons. I’ve always respected his opinion and have thought often about it. I started a charity to help entertain the military but have had a bit of a hard go of it lately with the poor economy. I don’t question the advantage that great discipline brings into your life, I just question the judgment of those ultimately in charge.
————————————————————————————–
Other than your father, husband and sons, who is your favorite surfer? - Jonas Vikker
Dibi Fletcher: Bruce Irons, best style!
————————————————————————————–
Are the questions on hey dibi really being answered by Dibi Fletcher? - Tracy Heffron
Dibi: YES. I don’t let anyone else ever speak for me!
————————————————————————————–
What historical person do you relate to or admire - Dan Rodgers
Dibi: There’s certain aspects of many different figures that I admire, but they’re all human with many faults as well. So, perhaps it’s easier to think about what qualities I aspire to; loyalty, honesty, integrity, tenacity, sincerity, humility and a great sense of humor will be a good start to my list.
————————————————————————————–
Nate Fletcher is a beast! I’ve seen him ride slop and I’ve seen him attack the biggest waves. Did he always have balls of steel when he was a kid too? I think he surfed Waimea at 15 foot plus when he was only 12?????? - Mike Chapman
Dibi: Yes, he was always so much younger then everyone that he pushed himself to keep up. He seemed cautious but fearless at the same time; an interesting juxtaposition of character traits thrown in together.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, I read an interview that Christian did and in it he mentioned that he liked listening to Devo and the B-52’s. Never thought I’d hear him say that! Who knew Christian was such a New Waver? Ha ha ha. - Warren Alotis
Dibi: I think there’s many things about Christian that would surprise people. Most only see one side of someone and think they have them pegged, seems very short sighted.
————————————————————————————–
Dear Dibi, will you marry me? Leave Herbie and his jet skis. - B. R.
Dibi: Another guy wanting me to take care of them? Sorry, my dance cards full at the moment, but thanks for asking.
————————————————————————————–
This is more a request I hope than a question but I love the photos you have would it be possible to post a family portrait of you herbie christian , nathan from the early years? They make me smile. - Patty Schreiber
Dibi: Thanks, I’ll have to look for some.
————————————————————————————–
How have you guys achieved that rare feat of still being family owned and operated? Times are so tough but I have yet to see Astrodeck ever sell out to the big stinkers. Keep it up! - Beau Marcum
Dibi: Thanks, it’s such hard work when all the big guys can out-spend you and undercut you at the same time. But here’s the middle finger to them all: “We’re not going away!”
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, so was Christian really going to run for city council are was he just pulling our legs? I wish he did I would have voted for him! Fletch man rules! - Chris Darwin
Dibi: Yes, but he thought it was best to spend time with Greyson right now.
————————————————————————————–
Is there really a Dibi? Or is this just one of Christian Fletcher’s evil masterminds yet again? - John Kinney
Dibi: Dude, on ocassion I’m sure Christian wishes there was an evil mastermind.
————————————————————————————–
If u were bald would u wear a wig or u dont care if ur bald? - Tom Foolery
Dibi: I shaved my head before and it was cold but cool. I wear wigs, every color for a change of pace, it’s all good.
————————————————————————————–
CF’s facebook is rockin! The things he posts are so funny. But I also didn’t know that he got deep sometimes. Love the funny stuff but also love the social commentaries and questions he poses. It’s interesting because he actually doesn’t talk about surfing much. There’s more to him and I really am a huge fan of Hey Dibi as well so please never stop! - David Knox
Dibi: Thanks, we actually rarely talk about surfing ourselves, not much to say; drop in, go for it, make it, eat shit. It’s fun if you’re the one doing it, but it does lose something in translation.
————————————————————————————–
Is Christian sponsored by anyone right now? - Dill Chapman
Dibi: Himself, and it’s perfect!
————————————————————————————–
I know the truth and I know that Dibi Fletcher is the one keeping it all together! So thank you to Dibi! Women never get the respect or acknowledgment in this Big Boys league! And that sucks! - N.S.
Dibi: Hey, thanks, that’s very nice.
————————————————————————————–
What is your one specific favorite memory of Christian growing up? - Danielle Weissman
Dibi: There really isn’t just one, there’s a million little small things that make our lives special, and a million memories that become the gifts of a relationship.
————————————————————————————–
What really happened? Why was Christian in Bali for so long? Are the rumors true - because he had to and didnt want to come back to US soil? - Mark Kohling
Dibi: He went for a couple of days and stayed a year-and-a-half, and had the time of his life! How nice for him!!!
————————————————————————————–
Hi, when are you guys going to do a D-Side with Greyson? Been waiting for it! I am a big fan! - Josh N.
Dibi: Greyson just did an interview with Jason Jesse for Juice Magazine, and so he’s getting more used to the format and feeling more comfortable so it won’t be long.
————————————————————————————–
How much do you roll your eyes in disgust over our stupid questions? LOL! - Chloe Walsh
Dibi: I try to be respectful and answer with out judgment.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, many thanks for the laughs you give me for having to put up with our questions. I think this is really great. What gave you guys the idea to do something like this? And please keep up the good work! :) - Crystal Shaw
Dibi: People used to ask Christian questions and he’d answer “Ask my Mom” so we thought it was a good idea to go direct.
————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi, curious to know, do you still actively compete in Ballroom dancing? My friend, Mary Bruins used to compete in your division I believe. Were you featured in any showcases? Thank you. - Victoria Mattison
Dibi: I got so busy working, I didn’t have the time anymore. It was really great to travel with my mom and play dress-up but times change and on I go to the next adventure.
————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, so we’ve all read how Christian was the wild child and Nathan was the quiet one. But what’s surprising to you in contradiction to this? In other words, what is Christian actually kind of quiet and subdued about and what makes Nathan craaaaaazy? - Al Thornton
Dibi: Christian is very non-judgmental and Nathan can’t stand big social functions.
————————————————————————————–
What the fuck??? How come Ian Cairns that fat aussie pig and Richie Collins are on Christian’s fan page????????? - Craig Zinman

Dibi: That’s a decision above my pay scale.
————————————————————————————–
How different would it have been if Jeff Booth and those other morons didn’t write that letter? - Sam Hutchens
Dibi: Who’s to say? We’re all happy and no one but yourself can take that away, so let people say what they want.
————————————————————————————–
On a scale of 1 to 10 how much of what you read about Christian or what you read about stuff in general in the surf mags is true? - Zachary Tom
Dibi: I can’t say about anyone else, but most of what others say about Christian is written to create controversy and in hopes for a sale.
————————————————————————————–
Carne asada or carnitas? Help me make my dinner choice! - Hamish Stephen
Dibi: Nice salad, broiled new potatoes, and a half bottle of Vietnamese hot sauce thrown on top.
————————————————————————————–
Nathan has made it known that he is not a competitive surfer but I always thought despite his image and reputation that Christian actually kinda was. So….was he? - Ray Van Duyn
Dibi: The only one Christian had to compete with was himself; all the judges gave him no points for what he was doing, so he just created different tricks to outdo the last one he had mastered.
————————————————————————————–
Dibi do you have any home remedy for the runs? All this over the the counter stuff ain’t cutting it for me! I’m in pain! - Brian Rockford

————————————————————————————–
If you had to pick to be an animal what animal would you be an why? - Dustin Mackenzie
Dibi: A cat. Independent, graceful, great coat, and very intuitive.
————————————————————————————–
I laughed when Christian said he had a cockatoo and he trained it to bite Nathan. Any more fun anecdotes from their childhood, dibi? I love them! - Melissa Chambers
Dibi: I cut my hair when he was two, he didn’t like it and refused to call me Mom. He referred to me as Dibi and rarely addressed me personally for quite some time.
————————————————————————————–
It has been a rough year. First Marvin and now Andy. Do you think Andy’s death was really from the fever? I don’t buy it. - T. Simmons

 Dibi Fletcher's sculpture located on Pico Avenue in San Clemente. 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
————————————————————————————
Hiya Dibi, what is something you want to get off your chest? – Loren McHale
Dibi: Sometimes it SUCKS being a chick!
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi. Do you floss? – Scott Meister
Dibi: Yes, everyday.
————————————————————————————
Have you guys ever taken a trip that wasn’t surf related all together as a family? – Jessica Martin
Dibi: We used to go skiing all the time, does that count?
————————————————————————————

Do you enjoy board games? Do you like to cuddle? Do you gamble? Enjoy beer kegs? Tell me about the Dibbi we don’t know. - San Clem Man Ham
Dibi: Not particularly. Of course. I come to work everyday. Not a beer drinker. I love to read and study, that certainly sounds dull.
————————————————————————————
Big Fletcher fan. Big what ups. Been trying to get a hold of some old commercials and footage you guys did. Mainly some bloodshot clips and that old Volvo commercial. You gonna post that up on the web? Thanks! – Bill Gregory
Dibi: I don’t own the Volvo commercial, and I’m saving the Bloodshot footage to use in a future project.
————————————————————————————
Dibi, I just wanted to let you know that I expect bigger and better things from you! John From Cincinnati wasn’t great but not bad but I KNOW you’ll be the one to bring true surfing and true surfers to the forefront of insipid Hollywood players who don’t know what we’re about as surfers! Thank you in advance! And what’s up HERBIE! – Chuy Gracia
Dibi: Hey Chuy, thanks for the thumbs up. I wrote a musical a while back about the North Shore that I think would be perfect for Broadway, but the gentleman that I was working with (who produced Chicago for the stage) passed away, and I didn’t have the heart to shop it around. Maybe sometime in the future.
————————————————————————————
Hello dibi, have the guys ever taken you to the bowl to skate? Kill it hot mama! – Scruddzy949
Dibi: I’ve gone and watched, but I don’t skate or surf, and it’s always seemed like the right choice for me.
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibs Whats with the quads? Where will NF go now from here? HE roxxxxxxxxxxx! – Just TJ
Dibi: I think he’s a lot like Herb and will just keep evolving as a designer.

Dibi: Not as much, I now ride a bike 20 some miles a day, a bit easier on the joints.
————————————————————————————
THINK FAST THINK FAST BRING BACK THINK FAST! What happened to THINK FAST???!! – Matty Ratty
Dibi: It got to be too much work to juggle everything. Maybe sometime in the future with all the boys help it might seem like just the right time.
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi! John Wayne or Clint Eastwood? J - Tom Alanise
Dibi: Clint Eastwood, “Rawhide”.
————————————————————————————

Strictly talking comedies, what is your all time favorite comedy TV show and movie? – Brice Landon

Hi Dibi. Christian is looking good & healthy. Think he’s here to stay for awhile with us now? – Sam Wisener
Dibi; Do you mean here, as in, on earth?
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, so Christian posed the topic about suicide the other day. What’s youre take on suicide and euthanasia? Christian don’t answer his own opinions on his own topics! That sucks! But so I’ll ask you since you always have a strong voice. Thanx! – Kai Peniku
Dibi; Awfully permanent solution to a temporary problem. But if I’m fucked, pull the plug!
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, Name 5 people you want to be stuck on an island and 5 people you don’t. No family. – Brett Jacobs
Dibi: Wow, if I named 5 to be stuck with, you wouldn’t know them so I won’t bother. There’s a million jerks out there so just pick any 5 at random and that about covers it.
————————————————————————————
Great job on DSIDE and HEY DIBI. A breath of fresh and REAL air! Christian, give yo mama a hug, boy! Best wishes to all of the Fletchers! – Sarah Howregan
Dibi: Thanks, that’s nice. I really enjoy getting to ask people things that I find interesting about them.
————————————————————————————
Mrs. Fletcher, will you ever allow a tell-all book about your clan? Actually I think you should write a book starting with the Hoffman bros! Just a suggestion. J - Chris Murphy
Dibi: Only if I write it and have complete control - and it would still be just be my opinion. As everyone involved sees it through their own perspective, maybe we should each do our own chapter.
————————————————————————————
So what the hell were you just pulling our tails about Christian running for council? I STILL WANT TO VOTE FOR HIM!!! Go for it FLETCH! – Matt Atkins
Dibi; No, he pulled out to spend some time with Greyson, which I think is the right move at this time.
————————————————————————————
Greyson is HOT! Can you ask him what types of girls he likes and does he have a gf now? Heeheehee. – Molly Johannson
Dibi; I’ll ask him.
————————————————————————————
Enjoyed Frank 151 and Juice and your contributions. Ever think about creating a magazine published by the Fletchers? – Jenn Holguin
Dibi: Maybe we should do one online?
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi. Does Herbie ever help you answer these questions? Sometimes I can hear him when your’e doing your dibi side interviews. Ha ha. – Ritchie Van Duyn
Dibi: He’s the camera man, but the questions on the D-Side and the answers here are all MINE!
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi I have a request please. In Surfer Magazine there was a great interview with Nathan, something about Coming out of the Shadows. In that article, there was a wonderful photo of Nathan holding his board and standing beside, what I realized since your last Hey Dibi piece, as one of your own sculptures of the mannequins. I’ve since lost that magazine and have been trying to replace it. Would it be possible if you reposted that photo. It is my favorite of Nathan of all time. Young, aggressive surfer next to a beautiful work of art. Thank you very much. – Emma Marinovich from Newport Coast, CA
Dibi: I’m sorry, I don’t think I have a copy of the photo you’re referring to. It was probably taken by someone other then Herb.
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi! You guys have the best Facebook pages! Love waking up and reading what’s new on that crazy mind of Christian’s! He’s to the point and wicked funny! Let him know I think he’s the best! And your pretty rad too with hey dibi and the dside ! But how about an interview WITH YOU?? J - Josh Pederssen
Dibi: That would be funny; I can ask myself questions in the mirror, or hop from one chair to the next, asking and answering questions I ask myself… that would be hilarious.
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, what is a habit you wish you could stop? – Joel Spitzer
Dibi: Worrying about things I can’t change.
————————————————————————————
Hi Dibi. Will we be able to see more pics of you guys and future Bruce Weber projects? – Heather Moss
Dibi: Hopefully, I adore working with him.
————————————————————————————
Old school, new school or who cares about school? What’s up Dibi Fletcher? – Manny Pena
Dibi: Everybody’s been traveling, surfing, skating, and I, of course, keep it all rolling, so I guess it’s business as usual.
————————————————————————————
What is a personal fave surf film of yours? From the Fletcher collection that is! – Troy Hollis
Dibi: Each of them has a piece of our history, so it’s hard to choose.
————————————————————————————
I heard you are a health fitness nut and eat very healthy at least that’s why Jon told me! Roflmao! But anyway if you were FORCED at gunpoint to pick a fast food place to have to eat at what would it be? LMAO!!! – Stephen F.
Dibi: Baja Fresh!
————————————————————————————
