Diamond Dibi Strikes Again

Here’s another round of “HEY DIBI”. You guys have done a great job in asking questions and I have to say, Dibi’s done a kick-ass job in answering them. Gotta love her to-the-point, sincere answers. This is an ongoing popular series we have going on, so keep the questions coming, you inquisitive motherfuckers!

You’re pretty. I like your picture by Mr. Weber. Do you like rugged Italian sailboarders?

Steve Fuchs asks: What about your thoughts on training? Do you? If so, what’s your routine and diet?

Dibi: I’ve always been personally serious about training. My schedule now includes yoga, weight training and I ride a bike 150 miles a week. I eat really sparingly and I’m completely nuts!!!

Larry Jovial asks: What has been the best time of your life?

Dibi: It was really fun when Christian and Nathan were young and Herb was filming the Wave Warriors series. But I’ve got a lot to be grateful for and I try to laugh and enjoy myself everyday.

Cindy Quinonez asks: Hi Dibi. What is your daily regime?

Dibi: I believe I answered the question about my workout schedule above. After I ride my bike and stretch, I shower, have a protein smoothie, and head to the office, where it’s kind of anything goes! Whether I’m doing interviews, answering emails, or out in the warehouse shipping, it’s a job and I try to do my best. Sometimes kicking a few boxes help, but mostly it’s all good.

Cheryl Corrales asks: Hey Dibi, curious, do you have any daughters or other kids besides Christian and Nathan?

Dibi: No, I never had any other kids. I think Christian and Nathan were MORE then enough to teach me plenty.

Michael Finnegan asks: Are the Fletchers too off the beaten path? Do you do “normal” family things, like sit down to dinner, etc?

Dibi: Sure, I make dinner every night, and Herb and I sit together and sometimes now Christian joins us as well. We laugh and argue and enjoy the time together like all good friends.

Cassandra Doile asks: Long time fan of your artwork. Do you still do your surfboard art?

Dibi: Yes, I have a couple of really cool boards that I’m working on now, with stainless bases and 18 karat white gold rails. Very Jetsons!

Jean Pierre Pereat asks: Question everything that is told to you by the media! Shoot, what’s really going on out there in this world?! Too much crap that they’re trying to stuff down our minds. What do you think of it all?

Dibi: I think most of it is BULLSHIT!

Dana Finney asks: Loved the photo of your father! How is he doing? How is Flippy doing?

Dibi: My dad’s doing great, thanks. Flippy’s still in the hospital in Hawaii with pneumonia, and we’re hoping he’ll be better soon.

Lance Yamasaki asks: Were you and Herbie strict parents?

Dibi: No. I had never heard of boundaries, and I was a teen ager when I had CF, so I thought if we all just went to the beach everything would be great. I’ve had a long time to think about it now though, and honestly, I would do it all the same.

Scott Phillips asks: Hi Dibi, you are a cool mother! Do you enjoy motherhood?

Dibi: Yes, it taught me the best and the worst about myself and I’m sincerely grateful to have had the opportunity to be around such unique individuals.

Ted Howser asks: Was there really a Dana Point mafia with your father and Flippy and others?

Dibi: I think it was a term used to sell magazines by a writer trying to explain a group of guys, that while pursuing their own careers, had such great influence on future generations.

Jenn Capone asks: Hello Dibi Fletcher! Where has been your favorite place to travel?

Dibi: I think it was when Herb and I were able to go to Milan with [photographer] Bruce Weber for a retrospective of twenty-five years of his work with Conde Nast. It was so different then the world I live in… that trip is up there as one of the best.

Brian McGee: Can you adopt me? I am serious.

Dibi: Well, right now CF’s back living with us, I think that’s about the best I can do right now, but thanks for the pat on the back.
