Dibi Fletcher

Dibi Fletcher

Do Christin and Dibi call you Dibi? We all call you Dibi! Hehe. - Christina Muire
Dibi: I think you’re asking if Christian and Nathan call me Dibi? They call me Mom.
——————————————————————————
Dibi what is the biggest whopper you have ever heard in your life? Just curious. - Marc Saller
Dibi: Hard to come up with just one, but the guy making “Astrodeck” in Brazil is a pretty big one.
——————————————————————————
What’s great about San Clemente? What’s wrong about San Clemente? - Jesse Grigg
Dibi: It’s still pretty small but there are way too many people.
——————————————————————————
Hey Dibi! What do you think about people who ride SUPs? - Carl Najvers
Dibi: I really don’t think one way or another about them; but thinking a bit about the question, I believe being outside enjoying yourself, no matter how, improves the quality of your life.
——————————————————————————
Hi Dibi. How are you? My question is: What music are you currently listening to Dibi? And what is Christian , Herbie, Nathan listening to? I’m such a big fan of your family! - Dick Brennan
Dibi: I like lots of different music, but Koko Taylor always works. Herb’s a big blues guy, Christian likes East Coast hardcore, and Nathan is traveling so much it’s hard to say. Thanks for the support, it’s very nice.
——————————————————————————
Do you believe in evolution Dibi? - Stephen McCranells
Dibi: I don’t quite understand what you’re asking. Do you mean the theory of evolution or is there a God??
——————————————————————————
Who do you think is overrated as far as media attention? - Jon Paxter
Dibi: How about the Kardashians and every other reality star?
——————————————————————————
So why is Herbie going into the Twilight Zone? (In regards to the Pod picture) - Danny Jones
Dibi: Lot’s of old injuries are really bothering him, so he’s trying some alternatives that seem to be helping.
——————————————————————————
We know Nathan is a wave killer! What is your sense of a big thrill or adventure? - Jim Cooley
Dibi: I used to do quite a lot of things that were pretty adventuresome, but as I run the business now, there just isn’t time to do anything at present but work. That’s the big adventure, can I pull it? Odds are pretty tough, but I don’t care if I die in the warehouse, I’m doing this no matter what!!
——————————————————————————
In your opinion, Dibi, what makes you a different kind of mother? What makes you a typical mother? Great job on “Hey Dibi” by the way. :) - Sandra Neuman
Dibi: I don’t know if anything makes me different. I’m driven and very demanding of myself, and completely devoted to my family.
——————————————————————————
Christian and Nathan are so sexy! Do they have gf’s? - Meredith Sanchez
Dibi: Yes, they both have girlfriends.
——————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, are you still writing for Juice? - Jaime Araquelaz
Dibi: Yes, I just did an article about the beginning of aerial surfing, that none of the surf magazines thought was current, important, informative, or whatever enough to print. I love working with Juice, they’re great!
——————————————————————————
If a producer approached you guys about doing a Reality show would you do it? - Sam Ruetger
Dibi: NO, NO, NO!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
——————————————————————————
Hey Dibi who was Herbie sponsored by in the 60s-70s when he was coming into his own? i mean his main sponsor? - Phil Loeng
Dibi: There was really no such thing at that time. Things sure have changed.
——————————————————————————
Back then it was the 2 Christians. Fletcher or hosoi. Those homeys still kick it together? - Brian Sargento
Dibi: They see each other occasionally at skate events that Greyson is in. But, otherwise, they don’t have much contact.
——————————————————————————
Its weird cause when you think about it Nathan’s contemporaries are people like slater whos only a couple years older than him but Nathan surfs as good if not better than these so called hot groms of today! Whats his secret? - Roger Hael
Dibi: He loves what he’s doing, and has been very fortunate. I’m very happy for him.
——————————————————————————
You seem like an open book. In fact all of the Fletchers seem like an open book. But is there anything you are reluctant to talk about when the subject is brought up? - Craig Sabo
Dibi: There are plenty of things that I believe should be kept private and I do keep them that way. But I have strong opinions about a lot of things and I’m not afraid to express them. They’re just opinions.
——————————————————————————
Do you think Greyson will ever do another show and return to acting? Maybe a movie? - Nathan Vernes
Dibi: You never can tell what may happen in the future, but as far as I know, I certainly don’t think so.
——————————————————————————
Hey Dibi. What do you know now that you didn’t before? And what myth do you debunk that you believed to be true? - Josh Rosen
Dibi: It’s difficult to say, I’ve changed in so many ways over the years, and of course I’ve also stayed the same. I think I was more of an optimist when I was young, like all kids, and now I’m a realist. Life has a way of forcing truths on you and it changes your perspective. It’s all a fascinating experience.
——————————————————————————
Do you agree when people call your family the Royal Family of Surf? I do! Who else could compare? - Henry Saltz
Dibi: People want to put labels on everything, it keeps things safe and tidy. I don’t pay much attention though, as most labels are more about surface then substance.
——————————————————————————
Any advice to a gal who’s just had it up to HERE ^^^^^ with her back talking smart ass 16 year old son? You being the mother of Christian Fletcher, I thought I’d ask for some advice. ;) - Eva Marie
Dibi: Wow, sorry to hear your having a tough time. Every situation is so different, I’d hate to just throw out some trite suggestion not knowing anything about the circumstances. Being a Mom is the most difficult job, remember to stay calm and dispassionate even though you may want to kick something when dealing with inappropriate behavior. If you engage you’re just aggravating an already bad situation. You can cry in your room later if you want, or beat a punching bag, whatever, but be cool, I think that will really help.
——————————————————————————
OK RANDOM DIBI & NO DISREPSECT BUT YOU EVER GET INTO A CHIC FIGHT OR BRAWL? LMAO! - Hector Reyes
Dibi: No, my sister used to hit me, I’m not into it. I think there are certainly other ways to settle my problems.
——————————————————————————
What is your favorite sweet treat? dessert? - Joe Vise
Dibi: As a kid I always loved coffee ice cream with hot fudge and Spanish peanuts on the top. Haven’t had it in years, but it still sounds good.
——————————————————————————
Hey I remeber as a grom you guys sold Astrodeck Xmas stockigns filled with decals and mini bat pads and shit. You think you gonna bring that back again? - Tony Wagner
Dibi: Wow, that’s great, I haven’t thought about that in a long time. I’d love to do something like that again but I no longer have the sales force to make it successful, so I don’t see it happening any time soon.
——————————————————————————
Anything you wanna clear the air about? I want everyone to know that I’m not gay. - Garrett Schriber
Dibi: No, not really. I think people have a lot of misconceptions about us, but I’m good with the people that know me and that’s what counts.
——————————————————————————
Greyson’s on a tear! How’s he liking Flip? Heard he wasn’t stoked with Creatures! - Marvin Cecil
Dibi: I think he’s a good fit with Flip, and they’ve been great to work with.
——————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, do you think it takes a kind of discipline and structure to be a surfer on the World Tour and do you think, being the free-thinking individuals that they are (much like Mom & dad? Hmmm), this is an area that Christian and Nathan wouldn’t excel at due to the regime? - Matt Dunn
Dibi: It does take a certain type of person to be on tour constantly, and I have respect for all the guys that do it, but Christian and Nathan made choices on how they wanted to live their lives and they’re stoked, so I guess the freedom works well for them.
——————————————————————————
Dibi just tell Christian he has the best Facebook page ever and I always look forward to his posts!!! Yew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Scott P. Ensele
Dibi: Thanks, I’ll tell him. I enjoy it also.
——————————————————————————
Nathan said that Herbie was like a Soccer Dad in how he told him to surf, what to wear, etc. Do you agree? - Dillon Reed
Dibi: No, I think he was just a Dad. All kids have far-out opinions on how their parents behaved.

“Dibi, you’re way better than Dr. Phil!”

Dibi's Russian friend Oleg was able to get Dibi an appearance on Russian News TV as the Special American Correspondent. So take that!

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.

The D-Side With Steve Sherman: Part 1

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

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.

Does Christian Have A Tattoo That Says “Mom”?

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

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.

—————————————————————————————

“Hey Dibi, 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?”

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

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

—————————————————————————————

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.

Hey Dibi: “Who do you think is a jerk?”

Friday, January 28th, 2011

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

"AS A BLONDE" By Dibi Fletcher

Hi Dibi, you’re a hoot! Very fun! Have you ever gotten into a physical altercation with someone? - Joe Gowin (I live in Scott’s Valley but used to live in Capo Beach and really enjoy Christian’s Facebook!)

Dibi: No, I’ve never thought that was a great way to handle differences of opinion.
————————————————————————————

Hey Dibi, what are you completelly PRO and completelly ANTI?? - Cassie Jordan

Dibi: Pre: Personal freedom. Anti: Government intrusion.

————————————————————————————

I have seen your pics on hey dibi you’re very pretty and youthful I cannot believe you have son old enough like Christian! Sorry if this is personal to much but were you a teen mother? I had my daughter at 17 and it has been so hard and I am 25 now and days I just want to give up but I’ve grown lots with her and she really is my life. Sorry if this personal. - Amy J.

Dibi: Yes, I was a teen mom, and there were plenty of difficult times. I think that’s a part of life, and most people want to run away, believe me, there’s no place to run. You just create another set of problems. So relax and enjoy the process as best you can; it’s over quicker then you can imagine.

————————————————————————————

Hey there Dibi. What a great forum! Here’s my question; A few years ago I had seen a photo that I contribute to Bruce Weber. It was amazing and featured you dancing. Was this for a particular photo shoot with Bruce Weber? It was a bit grainy - even to the point of looking like a frame grab - but that may have been the speed of the camera shutter? I’m also familiar with the Fletcher Clan in Weber’s documentary, “Chop Suey Club” which I thoroughly enjoyed. Been a sideline observer of the Fletcher’s ever since. Anywho, any bit of information you’re willing to share about that particular, I’d greatly appreciate. - Christopher Kevins

Dibi: I really got into ballroom dancing for quite awhile and went to many competitions. Rhinestones, feather dresses… what’s not to love? The particular photo you’re referring to was from the Fontainebleau in Miami. The event offers you the opportunity, for a cost, to buy videos of your different dances, which I did and let Bruce use some of it and also pull some grabs for stills. So, you’re perfectly correct.

————————————————————————————

Hey Dibi, Do you and Herbie plan on staying in San Clemente or will you guys retire to somewhere else. LONG LIVE ASTRODECK! - Hugh Madero

Dibi: Never know what’s in the future, I like to be open and flexible so I can take advantage of opportunities that might come my way.

————————————————————————————

OMG I really love HEY DIBI it’s my favorite thing ever! Why don’t you do a HEY DIBI directly on Christian’s Facebook? - Sara Hodges

Dibi: I feel it’s better to do it in the format that I am, or I believe it will just morph into another Facebook post.

————————————————————————————

Hi Dibi. I have a question for you that is more directed towards Christian, I guess. Since you are his mom, will you MAKE HIM answer his own questions! Lol. He asks such fun questions on Facebook but never answers his own questions! Inquiring minds want to know! - Jake Pena

Dibi: Dude, I’ve never been able to make him do shit! Think now it’s going to be any different? I think he’s enjoying what’s happening and you seem to also, so why mess with it?
————————————————————————————
LOL so Christian did porn? Yah right! That was a good one he pulled on us! But would you be ashamed of him if he actually did??? Hmmmmm!!! - 204’s Owen

Dibi: I guess I’ll never know, so why speculate?

————————————————————————————

Hello Dibi! I recently noticed that Nathan had a tattoo on his leg, but wasn’t able to view it upclose. Would you happen to know what the image is? Thank you. - Erin Howse

Dibi: I really don’t remember, it was never an issue so I didn’t pay that much attention.

————————————————————————————

Hi Dibi, will there be more of that Dside with Walter? It was great. Thanks. - Joey S.
Dibi: Yes, working on one for next week.

————————————————————————————

Dibi what kind of humor/comedy do you like? Slapstick, dry, etc? Just curious! - Caesar Medina
Dibi: Don’t care much for slapstick. Dry and ironic seems more amusing. I laugh at myself daily, and find life and most people’s opinions of themselves vastly amusing.

————————————————————————————

HI! I know you own Tar Farms in San Juan. Years before that, were you the one who rode in the San Juan Rodeo? Jesse Avila said I am wrong that it’s not you because you didn’t live here at the time! - Henry Choate

Dibi: My older sister Joyce rode in the parade, I think 100 years ago, and it’s my parents who own Tar Farms
————————————————————————————-

Hey Dibi, is it true you ran away from home when you were 15? I think I have read this several times in interviews. - K.W.

Dibi: I had just turned 16; very mature and responsible. (That’s a joke!)
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, what is something that you were very much interested in (a sport, hobby, movie, etc) and wanted Christian, Nathan and Herbie to also enjoy but they just had no interest in? - Audrey Rose

I can’t think of anything off hand. I enjoyed the fact that we had different taste. Really, they’re guys and I’d never want or expect them to enjoy some of the things I find amusing, enchanting or interesting. That’s why I have girlfriends.
————————————————————————————-
I think everyone here on Christian’s Facebook looks forward to his posts when he links the new Hey Dibi. I know I look forward to it. Does that make me sad, obsessed with Dibi Fletcher, or just a great questioning participant? :)  - Matt Furhman

Dibi: Hey, I’m not judging, this is all fun.
————————————————————————————-
What happened to THE D—SIDE? I used to like watching the interviews. You guys ever feature any skaters? - McGill’s Minion

Dibi: Thanks, we’re doing a segment for the D-Side next week. I’ve talked to a couple of skaters, it’s just getting them down here that seems to be the problem.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, what is the dumbest question you been asked and the best question? - Dwight Barr

Dibi: I get asked the same thing over and over, so perhaps that makes it seem dumb, and anything that challenges me seems great.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, does anything or anyone intimidate you? - Carl Chapman

Dibi: There have been a lot of difficult things I’ve had to face in life that made me really doubt myself, but that’s just part of the process that is unavoidable. After coming out of that dark place you feel great, the sun’s out, the world is magic again. But eventually the process starts all over again. Am I scared of life, or intimidated by it, no, I hope I do it to the best of my ability.
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi what has been that one shocking instant moment where something just made your jaw drop? - Rudy Sinclair

Dibi: There have been too many to recall. There’s shock with AWE, there’s shock with FRIGHT, there’s embarrassment and a whole host of others and I’m able to say I’ve had them all.
————————————————————————————-
LMAO That is the BEST family photo ever! We never took photos like that at Disneyland! How old were the groms at the time? - Phil Allen

Dibi: Thanks, I thought it was really cute it’s so out of character. I think CF is 9 or 10 so that makes Nathan 4 or 5.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi and Christian, lol, classic family photo. Christian, my parents made us pose like this at Knott’s Berry Farm. Sorry I guess the question I have is, Dibi & Herbie - why do parents torture us kids this way??? Lol! - Jerry Weimar

Dibi: Because we love you, and we end up with a few cheesy photos!
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, because your family has had celebrity in the surf world, do you sympathize and understood when other celebrities seem to be targeted and maligned? - Kurt Jenner

Dibi: Yes, it’s  very interesting to watch how things unfold, but it’s mostly the big companies that really manipulate the market.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, who do you think is a jerk? - Adam Tovin

Dibi: I’ve got a list, and I’m trying to thin it down; you know, like growing up.
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, I think Christian is a bigger softie than we all ever thought he was. True? - Dave Nyghen

Dibi: I think he’s a lot of things no one would ever imagine.
————————————————————————————-
Dibi, what HAS to change about the surfing industry? After Christian’s shake-up, nothing’s really been that exciting. Why is everyone such a big part of that flock of sheep? - Jon Van Duyn

Dibi: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is my answer!!!
————————————————————————————-
Dibi, I know this isn’t really an advice column like Ann Landers but I sure would like your opinion on something. I try to please everyone and in the process, I always get  hurt. I’m tired of it and now I’m thinking I’m going to start being a little more selfish. I’m very tired of getting hurt and putting in all my efforts to not get the same in return. I’m starting to get deeply depressed about it becaus I feel like I’m being constantly used. After reading Hey Dibi since it’s start and watching the Dside interviews, I must say you’ve gained a fan in me and I find your thoughts and input very foundational. Am I being selfish to want to be selfish? Thank you for your perspective. - Naomi K.

Dibi: We all have choices and I’ve made plenty that have forced to think twice. As a middle kid, I’ve always been a pleaser. There’s been great pleasure in doing things for others and maybe the way to really get that pleasure is to do it with no expectations. It’s a fine line between giving and being used but you’ll be the only one that can make that call for yourself. Good Luck!
—————————————————————————————————————-
“I See Buddhas everywhere” is a phenomenal piece of artwork. Ever think of having your own website dedicated to just displaying a showcae of your work for all the WWW to see? No offense to christian but putting it on his website seems limiting to just the surfer crowd. =)  - Lillian T.

Dibi: Thanks. Yes, I’ve thought of having my own website but, at present, I just don’t have time. So I guess Christian and I can share some space for now. We both enjoy the opportunity to work together.
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, I like to put a lot of sugar on my breakfast grapefruit. I just pour heaps of sugar on top. Then i lick all the sugar off and throw away the grapefruit. Do you do this too? - NumbSkull @ Taco Bell Reef

Dibi: No, I have a smoothie for breakfast so everything is blended together. Perhaps you can try that.
————————————————————————————-
Hello Dibi, surely there have been so many misconceptions about the Fletcher family but what is admittedly an accurate conception? - William De Leon

Dibi: We’re a family, just like everyone else, perhaps with the volume turned up a bit.
————————————————————————————-
Hey Dibi, do you know how to play any instruments? - Kevin Hall

Dibi: No, and I really wish I did. I rented a piano for awhile and took lessons, but, sadly, just didn’t have the time to practice. Took singing lessons, switched to opera which I loved, but again, just couldn’t commit the time to it with all the other work I have to do to keep the ball rolling.
————————————————————————————-
Hi Dibi, after reading several of these, it seems like you and Christian and Herbie and Greyson and Nathan are all doing well. I’m glad you stop to smell the roses. And it’s great seeing Christian active on Facebook and sharing with the rest of us that he’s still around! Blessed be to you all! - Miriam Heatherton

Dibi: Thank you very much. It’s so nice to have everyone healthy and stoked, it’s been a long, tough road.
————————————————————————————
Hey Dibi, sorry for the loss of Flippy. Speaking of Flippy, I’ve read about the history of him and Walter. Such rich history. I’m curious how they became known as the “Dana Point Mafia” and why they settled on raising their families in Orange County and not somewhere like Malibu. I ask this because I thought they were originally from Los Angeles and geographically thought maybe LA county beaches made more sense? - Ray Dillard

Dibi: Some writer gave them that name in print and it was used many times after, so it kind of stuck. They liked it down here because it wasn’t Malibu. It was very quiet with nothing going on but lots of great surf. They had always had a summer house in Laguna, so they just gravitated to the area when they bought their first homes and thought that living directly on the beach was worth the commute.

“Mama Dibi! What it do?”

The Fletcher Family in Hawaii

The Fletcher Family in Hawaii

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

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi! Thanks for this. It’s my therapy believe it or not! I read about what people ask and the things you answer and it makes me smile AND think. People think reading stuff like this by you or whoever is a crock but I don’t. So again thank you very much, Mrs. (Hoffman) Fletcher! - Janice Burmin

Dibi: Thank you, that’s very nice. It started out with Christian, when he didn’t want to answer something, he’d say, “Ask my mom.” Now it seems as though there’s people that seem to do that, so here we are sharing some thoughts together.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, ever think about reading and answering our questions for the D-Side? It would be so fun to watch! - Leslie Freeman
Dibi: That sounds somewhat amusing, I guess like talking to myself in the mirror.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, any updates for us, your fans, about the Brazilians? - Craig Stone
Dibi: I haven’t heard anything recently. We’ve made it so they’re unable to use our (Astrodeck) name on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter - at least that’s a start. I appreciate your concern. Everyone has been very supportive. It’s been surprising, and really pretty great to know people care.

————————————————————————————–

Andy was a Wave Warrior! You guys gonna make that into a shirt? Of him wearing that shirt? It’d be sick! - Ben Ragin’ in Oceanside
Dibi: Andy was a Wave Warrior and he will be included in the new Wave Warriors film we’re working on. I’m sure he’d be stoked!

————————————————————————————–

HI Dibi I asked Christian sevral times but he doesn’t answer my messages is he still wrestling? And will he be in the Northeast touring soon with the WWE? Maybe you can answer? - Todd Waidmann
Dibi: I believe he wrestles with himself everyday, but he’s been skating his brains out recently with Greyson. So his immediate wrestling plans have been put on hold.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, caught the Andy Dside and it was great. Any more? thanx. - Bob Railey
Dibi: I’ve got a couple of more installments coming. I’m very grateful I had the chance to sit down with him when I did.

————————————————————————————–

Did you see any foreshadowing with Andy when he did the interview? He seems so happy and mellow. Unlike Bruce’s interview. Yo that kid’s on crack! - Jake S.
Dibi: He said when he came, “If I knew you guys were going to make me feel so good about myself, I would have come by earlier.” It was very sweet and I hope that everyone I have the pleasure of interviewing leaves feeling great with themselves.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi! Do you have other siblings aside from Joyce and how was the sibling rivalry between you two? - Caine Heinrichs
Dibi: Joyce is my older sister. I have a younger brother and sister, Tony and Robin. Joyce and I are very different and the dynamics between us, I would not describe as typical sibling rivalry. She was president of the student body, a champion surfer, Times Women of the Year… Wow, how would you compete with that??? I didn’t.

————————————————————————————–

Any chance in Christian and Nathan doing a project of some kind together? It would be amaze balls. Something people have been frothing for in forever. - 714 Jase
Dibi: I’m sure there’s something coming in the near future.

————————————————————————————–

DIBI FLETCHER NO OFFENSE YOU ARE GREAT BUT WHY ONLY SUCH SHORT ONE WORD ANSWERS LET US GET TO KNOW YOU MORE! PLEASE! - STEVE O’DONNELL
Dibi: Sometimes less is just enough. Most people have the tendency to be overly verbose and I find it tedious, so I try not to fall into that trap.

————————————————————————————–

Greyson rips! Are you and Herb proud grandparents or What?!?!?!!! - Mike Varttain
Dibi: I think it’s great that he rips; being good at what you do is always a bonus. But I’m most proud of who he is. I love spending time with him, he’s really amazing.

————————————————————————————–

MamaDibi! What it do? - Cottons Reg
Dibi: Whatever it is, do it to the best of your ability!!!

————————————————————————————–Though we all think our kids can do no wrong, what’s something you think Nathan and Christian have been wrong about and cannot accomplish? - R.M.

Dibi: I don’t think there’s anything they can’t accomplish if they put their mind to it. “Wrong about” as you’ve stated, is something entirely different then accomplishment. I believe you’re asking if they’ve made mistakes? Who hasn’t?

————————————————————————————–

Dibi huge favor. I have been a NF fan since I was well never mind how old I am now! I have all his magazine articles, interviews, movies, etc. Could you please post up from your archives a photo of Nathan when he was with Bloodshot or when he was riding for Gotcha or something from when you were all in that Esquire Magazine article, around that era? My favorite decade of Nathan Walter Fletcher - EVER! And when will you have a fan page for him and Greyson? Why only for Christian? But thank you regardless you will have made my year! - Jessica Owen
Dibi: To be honest, I haven’t saved everything. Life was always so busy and filled with everyday challenges, that some things just slipped through the cracks.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, did you guys celebrate Thanksgiving? Did Nathan and Christian fight over the wishbone? Did Herbie carve the turkey?
Dibi: Yes, we celebrated Thanksgiving. Nathan was surfing in Hawaii, for which I’m sure he was thankful for. CF and Greyson went skating, and then we all met down at my Mom and Dad’s to watch the sunset over the ocean and be grateful.

————————————————————————————–

Loved the family portrait! What a beautiful family! How much the boys have grown! Thank you for sharing! Please keep all this going! - Hugest Fletcher Fan
Dibi: We all had the best time growing up together, it couldn’t have been better.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, chairWOMAN of the board! Any chance of seeing some raw footage of the boys when they were out East for the tour? - Paul Ruiz
Dibi: I’m hoping to put something together sometime soon, it’s hard to get the time to do everything I’d like to; lots of “have to’s” tend to get in the way and eat the time.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi! Can you PLEASE get Christian to answer his own damn questions!! We wanna know what he thinks not just what he asks! =) - Kirk Koyne
Dibi: Dude, I gave up trying to “get” Christian to do things years ago. But I’ll  certainly make a suggestion.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi, Nathan is a marvel. Great piece with Bruce. What’s Nathan up to these days? Another film in the works with Analog? - Matt B.
Dibi: Nathan’s in Hawaii surfing like he should be. I don’t know if he has immediate plans for another movie, I’ll ask when I speak to him.

————————————————————————————–

When will Christian be surfing on the North Shore. I remember when he was a cueball getting barreled at Backdoor, pig dogging it during the Pipe Masters back in 90 or 89? Something like that.. So sick! - Brian Guthrie
Dibi: I think he plans on going over later in the season, when the crowd has thinned out.

Hi Dibi, Sorry about the loss of first Andy and then Flippy. I’m sure all of you are feeling different things but it still must be shocking. What a dichotomy (sp?) from young to old. Your thoughts? - Eric Galvan
Dibi: We’re all very sorry about Andy. Flippy lived the life he wanted and told them to pull the plug at the end. All of us should have that opportunity.

————————————————————————————–

Sorry to bring this up at this time but since Flippy’s passing, could you clarify how he is related. I thought Flippy had been Christian and Nathan’s grandfather and your father Dibi but he is your great uncle? Thank you and my condolensces. - Chadwick Graham
Dibi: Flippy is my father Walter’s older brother. So that makes him my uncle and my children’s great uncle.

————————————————————————————–

I can’t believe your a grandmother! Your so youthful and vivacious! Greyson have any siblings? Any other grandchildren? Nathan have any kids? - Panama Joe
Dibi: Thank you, I feel no different then I did as a girl on the North Shore. Greyson is my only grandchild. Nathan has roamed the globe looking for waves, maybe there will be kids in his future, who knows?

————————————————————————————–

Dibi do you like oatmeal? Or are you a biscuits and gravy type of gal? - The Smoocher
Dibi: OATMEAL, raw in smoothies. Gravy, UGH, reminds me of my Dad.

————————————————————————————–

To the Fletcher Clan (via Hey Dibi Blogspot):
Deepest regards to you and yours. Flippy was ornery but he was Flippy. How has Walter been, Dibi? - M.T
Dibi: My dad’s good, thank you for asking. It’s sad to see the changes, but it’s part of life.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi hmmm or more like CHRISTIAN??? HMMMMM…. back at Beach Road the lady sat amongst the sea in her scarves and shield with no chance of being anonymous. Mysterious lady how you make us wonder. Dibi or Christian or the mind of Sir Nathan? Lest it be known to us? None! - Jeff K.
Dibi: I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to say; it’s been awhile since I sat around at King Arthur’s round table and spoke in the dialect of that time. I’m happy to answer whatever it is you want to ask, but please make it clear.

————————————————————————————–

Greyson is so fine! Can you ask him why he accepted my friend request and then deleted it? I am sad. As his mom you should make him. Hee hee. J/k. :3   - V.A.
Dibi: First, let me clear up any misconception: I am his grandmother, not his mom. I really have no intention of monitoring who he friends on Facebook. I think those are decisions for him to make. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi I t hink you are so beautiufl do you personal email or facebook i can be friends and write you thank you! so beautiful woman very much! - Boscaglia
Dibi: Thank you for the compliment. I really don’t do Facebook; I started to, but just couldn’t seem to find the time. All the emailing I do pertains to business, and whatever little time I have left I’m doing research for a new book I’m working on.

————————————————————————————–

Love everything on site! But the rare family photos and the glimpse of the mind of Dibi Fletcher is what has me coming back the most. Please never stop! Thank you! - Shayne Woods
Dibi: That’s very nice, thank you. I’m always surprised that people care what I think. With the phenomenal success of social networking, it seems that people are extremely interested in what everyone else thinks, so I guess I’m part of the curiosity as well.

————————————————————————————–

Lmao I’m told that the Fletchers are Bohemian Republicans. Any truth in this Dibi? - Erik Ringstrom
Dibi: We’re Libertarians: Maximum freedom/minimum government.

————————————————————————————–

Astrodeck for Life, Dibi! Commited to u guys and stoked! What about some hats? What happened to Chief firewater? Wasn’t that by Herbie’s creation? I think so! - Marcio Nunez

Dibi: I can’t understand why any surfer would settle for inferior traction - unless he was paid big dough. Herb didn’t invent Chief Firewater. Being in America, the liability and restrictions on selling it, make it cost prohibitive. People always cry about “Made in America”. I can guarantee they’ve never made anything here and have no idea how difficult all the government regulation is. We did hats a long time ago, maybe it’s time for a comeback?

————————————————————————————–
Hi Dibi. Ya ever go tandem with herb? - Nancy Christopher
Dibi: I used to go tandem with my dad when all the surf contests had tandem events. I was a ballet dancer, so many of his friends wanted to partner with me. I competed with Don Hansen in the Makaha event a couple of times. I grew to hate it; I realized at a young age that I want control over events that concern me, and that wasn’t the case in tandem surfing. I met Herb at Makaha that first year, and there was never talk of us going tandem surfing.

————————————————————————————–


Hey Dibi: “Do you like bread?”

Friday, September 17th, 2010

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

————————————————————————————–

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

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

————————————————————————————–

Because You Asked. Another installment of “Hey Dibi”

Friday, May 28th, 2010
Diamond Dibi Strikes Again

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!

———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Are you a feminist?
- Solidad Gustavo
Dibi: I don’t know what that really means, but if you want to be specific I’ll give you my two cents.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
How come Nathan does not have Facebook? Or does he?
- Junichi Wada
Dibi: I would assume that he doesn’t want to, wouldn’t you? I think he calls it “Face Shot”.
———————————————————————————
Hi Dibi!
Please refresh my memory as I might be incorrect, but didn’t you used to have your own clothing line? I believe a denim/jean line? And keep up the great work on here!
- Candace Carpenter
Dibi: Yes, I did in the early ’80s. It just became too difficult to juggle everything and I became insane about ballroom dancing.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi!
I read that you guys lived in Idaho for awhile. How was that for surf-crazy Herbie?
- Fletcher Fan Forever
Dibi: It was great, the mountian was unreal and had some of the best bump skiing in the world, but we’re beach people at heart and the ocean called.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
The Kyle Turley interview was off the hook! How did he hook up with you guys?
- Grim Weeper
Dibi: CF and Kyle met at a Slayer concert years ago, and they’ve stayed in touch. Kyle played in San Diego with Hank III, and on his way to LA for another gig, he was gracious enough to stop by the ‘DECK for an interview.
———————————————————————————
Hi Dibi!
I have three little groms and they drive me crazy! I worry about what they’ll get into at 15, 16, and 18-years-old. LOL. Any advice on raising boys?
- Gretchen Mohler
Dibi: Hey Gretchen, I know this may sound trite and somewhat over used, but I’ve had lots of time to think about it, and boundaries are a great thing for all relationships. Perhaps the hardest thing to do - but the best long term investment in creating mutual respect.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Do you have an extra copy of that “Interview Magazine” you guys were featured in back in the day? Would love that! I’ll pay for it!
- Stacy Tahara
Dibi: No, I’m sorry, most magazines send like five copies, and I think after all this time I may have only one left.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
ASTRODECK IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you guys coming up with other product too? Like leashes and hats?
- AstroFan
Dibi: Right now, we’re focused on pads and sandals, and with everyone knocking us off I guess we’re on the right track, but thanks so much for the thumbs up!
———————————————————————————
What has been the best present you ever got from Christian?
- Janice Kerr
Dibi: Him being clean!!!
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Do you still write for “Juice Magazine”? Big ups on that!
- BoonDoggie
Dibi: Thanks. In the upcoming issue, I’ve got interviews with Matt Archbold and Danny Fuller.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Did the boys ever particpate in sports like baseball, soccer, etc. You know, little league stuff?
- Brice Noel
Dibi: I think people think we’re like the Addam’s family or something. CF and NF participated in all sorts of sports and we loved it.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
You are a MILF!!! DO YOU KNOW THAT?!?????????
- WantsTheDib
Dibi: Well dude, I had to ask CF what that meant…WOW!
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
What is the Fletcher ethnic background? Nathan said in an interview that he’s Cherokee. I’m just curious is all.
- Brandon R.
Dibi: I always laughed that I was a Heinz 57 - not ever thinking that NF would need a sense of belonging. My family heritage is quite interesting, as is everyone’s. I come from the last royal family in Germany and my ancestors discovered Georgia with a group pf convicts for the Queen. Herb’s mom was adopted at birth, and she was the offspring of a full Cherokee brave and a Swedish girl. Herb’s dad is part Blackfoot and his great-great-great grandmother was a sea captain.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
What is the dumbest question you ever been asked about yourself and about your family?
- SS Minnow
Dibi: The list is endless!
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Okay, so give it up. Give us some dirt on Herbie. Was he a lady’s man and sweep you off your feet?
- SurfSkate949
Dibi: I ran away from home with him when I was 16, and we’ve been together ever since. I guess that says something about both of us!
———————————————————————————
Hello Dibi!
Love this whole idea of your interviews! Kyle Turley was fantastic with you! Congrats! Who can we expect for the next vid interviews?
- Roger Arieta
Dibi: I’ve got a couple interviews in the can, but didn’t want to put them up until they could be embedded on our website. Some I think, if I had to go through YouTube, would be pulled down, so I’ve waited until I can upload them directly. Who would you like to see?
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Do you ever think CF steps out of boundaries that he shouldn’t?
- JLK
Dibi: He’s an adult, and free to speak his mind, until I guess that right will be taken from us like so many others now are.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Do you ever indulge yourself? What do you like to treat yourself to?
- Nancy Klier
Dibi: It’s hard to say. Times have been pretty tough for quite a few years, but I ride my bike for miles every morning and it makes me feel glad to be alive…so maybe that’s the best treat of all!
———————————————————————————
Hi Dibi,
I love reading about your and your family. I know the history of Astrodeck but what is the history of Hoffman Clothing?
- Macy Philiben
Dibi: It was never clothing, but fabric. Hoffman Fabrics. My Grandfather started it in 1925 and it has changed over the years into what it is today.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
You’re pretty. I like your picture by Mr. Weber. Do you like rugged Italian sailboarders? ;)
- Iliad Mauro
Dibi: Thank you. Bruce Weber makes everyone look great.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
You and Joyce [Hoffman] are sisters, ay? Nice looking gals! Heh. Does she still surf?
- Mr. Black
Dibi: Yes, my sister Joyce still surfs. Herb took some pictures of her the other day surfing in front of my folks house.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Have you guys ever had problems with stalkers and crazy fans?
- Breezie O’Quinn
Dibi: Some people are very bizarre, and cross the boundaries…but so far so good.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Love your advice, Dibi. What’s the best advice YOU ever got?
- Kris Garcia
Dibi: That all things pass!
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
YOU GO GIRL! About time we heard from the best Fletcher! Long time admirer here and just love seeing you on board here and love seeing that Christian has made some kind of comeback and is being seen and heard! Do you like answering all of our stupid questions? Hehe.
- Jill Franklin
Dibi: I’m somewhat surprised that any one gives a shit about what I have to say.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Are you closer with Nathan or Christian?
- T.D.
Dibi: They’re so completely different that I have the luxury of pulling from different sides of myself to enjoy each of them to the fullest.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
I read that you don’t want to have anything to do with “John from Cincinnati”. Why not? It was a good show.
- Brett Byerly
Dibi: It’s gone so who cares?
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
Do you like San Clemente? Your family is a fixture there, don’t you think? When you think San Clemente, the name “Fletcher” pops up in most heads as far as surfing goes.
- Hector Boreno
Dibi: I live and work in San Clemente and my families here, so what’s not to love?
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
What do you think of all of Christian’s tattoos?
- Tatted Bruno
Dibi: I’m glad he’s not my daughter.
———————————————————————————
Hi Dibi,
I’ve seen Nathan smoke. This isn’t good and makes me sad. Why does he smoke? It’s not good for surfers and the environment.
- Tiff Sauer
Dibi: Wow, why does he smoke? Why does anybody? I don’t, so I really can’t say.
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
What is the best compliment you ever got? I bet you get lots!!!!!!!!
- Cici Wanau
Dibi: “You’re the best friend I could ever have!”
———————————————————————————
Hey Dibi,
What is your honest opinion of all the other rip-off surf traction pads out there?
- Peter Sundberg
Dibi: No one’s ever made a better pad for a better price. The rest have all made an inferior pad for the same price. Shame on them!!!
