Just to remind some of you, 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

May 08, 2011: Christian, Dibi, Nathan and Greyson on Mother's Day

Well now its the Fletcher’s turn who has been the kindest to you Dib and Christian and Herbie and Nathan and Greyson? Am I missing any Fletchers? - Greg Salazar

Dibi: It’s difficult to answer the question in the manner that you’ve asked. You’ve named us individually, but I assume you mean us as a family and to that I’ll answer my Mom and Dad.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Hey Dibi! Will Hey Dibi ever get a time slot on Siriuis with a live show from you? It would be great for the whole Fletcher Family to have a show like the Lawrence Welk family hour? Hehe but more core! - Danny Samson

Dibi: Wow, Lawrence Welk, that is a very funny visual. Who knows what will happen in the future, but we’re open for the adventure.

————————————————————————————–

Hello Dibi. Were you daddy’s little girl or mama’s little helper or none of the above? – Gordon Tiflend

Dibi: None of the above. I was the middle daughter, my sister was the student body president, my brother was the only boy, and my younger sister was the baby. Not much room in there for me, but I think in hindsight it helped make me very determined and focused for which I’m very grateful.

————————————————————————————–

Will there be Savage Beast: The New Generation starring CF and Greyson? – Tony Etechelberg

Dibi: We’re starting to work on a new “Wave Warriors” and I don’t know what comes after that.

————————————————————————————–

Why Donald Trump? Why not run with Dibi Fletcher, Christian???? UM YES PLEASE!!! - Joanie Rowin

Dibi: That’s very funny, but I’m afraid we’re so NOT PC, we wouldn’t get very far. And, frankly, we’re having way more fun.

————————————————————————————–

Can my name be included if I just write: DIBI FLETCHER ROCKS!!! Without a question? Lol! – Bill Noonan

Dibi: Sure, I’m glad you want to be included, that’s what this format is about.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi where are YOUR surf photos? Let’s see them! Come on hot surf mama! – Keith Ricksum

Dibi: I surfed as a kid but never got that into it - didn’t want to compete with my sister. I was in quite a few tandem events when I was around 13. I think there may be some photos in the estate of Leroy Grannis, but I’m not sure.

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

You are beautiful and smart! Do others know how lucky they are to know you? – Michelle Bennet

Dibi: Thank you, that’s very nice. I hope that all my friends and family feel about me like I feel about them.

————————————————————————————–

I love that picture of you with Christian taken by Bruce Weber. You’re so cute with your hair like that. I have seen this before, at your parents house? – Katherine Bennett-Rau

Dibi: Thanks, I love that hair also.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi that is a fucking sick shirt Christian is wearing. PUTTING THE HATE BACK INTO SKATEBOARDING! Is that a custome made shirt by Christian are you guys gonna sell those? – Steve Ensell

Dibi: I think it’s pretty classic and, yes, we’re considering quite a few new prints but haven’t narrowed it down yet.

————————————————————————————–

Ever propose to Christian to maybe get rid of the skulls and guts and all things heshyan and maybe throw in some leis and lowers a nd waterfalls for his new logo? ? ? (BTW, Kidding!) – Erin Murray

Dibi: What I think is one of the most fascinating attributes about Christian, is that he could pull leis, waterfalls or anything else and still be completely authentic. It’s not the skulls that make him, that’s purely external, he himself is completely unique.

————————————————————————————–

When is Christian coming to visit us in Ireland? – Joe Kieran

Dibi: I’m sure he’d love to come, and if business were better, I’d love to send him and Greyson. So, let’s hope things turn around and perhaps you’ll see them in the future.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi. Is there anyone you really miss right now in your life? - Corrine Mueller

Dibi: I try not to spend time on thinking about things not in my life, it takes the joy out of what is.

————————————————————————————–

Chrisstian has it known you are the tribel leader of fletchers! Yes! Agree? – Adrian Guerrero

Dibi: Someone had to be, and the guys would all rather be surfing, skating, or otherwise involved. So I learned how to do everything. Who do you think is the dummy in this picture?

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

LOL the Donald Trump/Christian Fletcher running mates gag you guys did was great. Who thinks of all this? Christian if it’s you, you’re one mofo genius! – Trent Johnston

Dibi: I agree, Christian has the greatest sense of humor and is always willing to laugh at himself, which I think is the BEST.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, how are you and the hub doing lately? Good to see how active you guys are on FB, love all the updates! – Denise Fletcher (no relation, lol)

Dibi: We’re doing fine, thank you for asking. FB has been a very interesting way for us to get out to so many people and have fun. I think people in general took us much more serious then we take ourselves, FB has let us have some fun.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi is such a hit lol I love it! How about you guys doing something with Herbie too! Like hit Up Herbie! LOL! – Pat Meade

Dibi: Thanks, I enjoy it. Herb just doesn’t have the time right now with everything else going on.

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

Bloodshot! Bloodshot! Bloodshot! There’s nothing on any of the Fletcher pages about Bloodshot! Make a bloodshot fan page! Yewwwwwww! – Paul Gambia

Dibi: I’d love to do everything, but we all work full time. Plus, trying to keep up with everything everyone seems to enjoy is more than a second job. But we’ll certainly put your request in the box with the others that we just can’t get to right now.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Hi Ms. Dibi. If I send my own picture of Greyson, Christian and Nathan can I get their autographs as well as yours and Herbie? I don’t have a photo of you and Herbie that is my own though. Thanks! – Rick Hamm

Dibi: Sure, send it with a return, self-addressed, stamped envelope and I’ll do my best.

————————————————————————————–

Astrodeck has NOT gone the way of Gotcha, MCD, Airwalks, Vision, Hot Tuna, Maui & Sons, etc and a bunch of other companies that were big back in the 80s and now are gone or trying to come back. What’s the secret? – Miles Schroeder

Dibi: Perseverance I guess. It’s a tough go right now, I’ll tell you. Trying to compete with publicly traded companies is really next to impossible, but I’m not giving up!! ——————————————————————————————————————————————

Where are Christian’s old Lanty wetsuits? I will buy them. Serious. – Bradoh Parkes

Dibi: I think they’re like so much of the past, long forgotten, sorry.

————————————————————————————–

That is heavy what Nathan had to do and how he got Sion M. I hope Nathan is doing better now? – George Rojas

Dibi: Yes, I’m sure it was a difficult experience for him and everyone involved. I saw him on Mother’s Day and he spoke so nicely about Sion, I believe that’s a very good sign.

————————————————————————————–

What drives you craaaaazy? Fingernails across the chalkboard, hypocrites, back-stabbers, etc. – Lucy Wheller

Dibi; Hypocrites pretty much top my list. There are other little idiosyncrasies that piss me off, but I’m much more patient then I used to be.

————————————————————————————–

Can you give me Christian’s phone number? Well…it was worth a shot. - Christina Loughlin

Dibi: I try to stay out of certain parts of CF’s life and we get along great.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi you are so rad. How do you stay so rad! – Noel Hughson

Dibi: Good genes, lots of exercise, health food, and a sense of humor.

————————————————————————————–

It’s pretty obvious you and Chrisstian are close. How great that is for you guys! But have their everf been awakeward mom/son moments? – Nutty Dale

Dibi: Plenty; I think when I had to be a parent-escort when he was in high school and I came dressed in a red leather mini skirt, red fishnet hose, purple suede boots, and a chain mail top, that certainly got his attention and we laugh about it to this day.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

What is the one absolute power you want to have and be done with? Just one thing you could do. Either for the world or in the surfing world, etc. – Rory Meadows

Dibi: I’m very much a realist and I can’t imagine with all the terrible things going on where the starting point is.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi question that maybe you can run by Christian, does he keep his old boards as a collection? Many of his boards and the ads have such a vivid piece in my memory from my childhood. The big T&C sticker, the graphics, etc. Thank you. – Jim Doulph

Dibi: We’ve tried to hold on to some of the boards, and we do have quite a collection, but the boys sold many or traded many of them for whatever reasons, so I’m sure there are some floating around.

————————————————————————————–

Is Greyson ever going to grow his hair long again like he had it in JFC? – Melanie Jeffson

Dibi: I don’t know. I’ll bet he probably doesn’t either.

————————————————————————————–

Do you think we are better off with Twitter and Facebook or do you think this is all good? Just an opinion on what you think. Thank you. Raymond Havissey

Dibi; It doesn’t matter what I think; they’re here to stay.

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

Ever think about bringing back think fast with the hot rods and stuff? – Kale Fritz

Dibi: Yes, I’ve thought about it, but right now I’m so busy trying to keep the company alive I can’t afford to diversify. But if things turn around it could well be in our future.

————————————————————————————–

What is your opinion on gay rights? And gay surfers? – Sostoked Wedger

Dibi: I don’t really have one, not having personally had to deal with it, I’m sorry to say that it hasn’t been top on my list. But if you’re asking if I’m homophobic, not in the least.

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

Does Nathan bleach his hair? He always has a good blond/orange tuft on his hair but could the sun really bleach it that light considering he has such dark-looking hair now? – B.T. Renniger

Dibi: No, he doesn’t, it’s really the sun.

————————————————————————————–

My Friend said Greyson is going to be starring in a new movie with Ryan Sheckler about going to a skate university. When is this going to come out? – Tracy Whitman

Dibi: Your friend is completely off-base. Greyson’s having fun exactly where he’s at for the time being.

————————————————————————————–

Happy Mothers Day Dibi. Your a wonderful loving mother, an inspiration and dudes totally think your hot! lol It’s all true! Here’s to you..:) – Barbie Difrenza

Dibi: Thank you, I appreciate the well wishes.

————————————————————————————–

Hey there Dibi! Happy Mother’s Day! Do CF and Nathan do anything for you in particular? - Jen Kroize

Dibi: Thanks, this was the first time I got to see them together in a long time and it was GREAT!

————————————————————————————–

I agree with Christian. What’s up with Snips and Kanga now trying to act like their so in support of the airs when before they couldn’t accept it? What’s your take on this Dib? – Casey Deveroll

Dibi: People all usually change with time, but it sure takes some sooooooo much more time then others.

(The most important men in Dibi’s life: Christian, Walter, Greyson, Herbie, and Nathan)

Let’s face it, I’ve put both of my parents through hell. But with everything that we’ve gone through, they’ve always had my back and dealt with things the best way they knew how. Without their love and support…who knows?

I’m really stoked now. Every day, I work with them at Astrodeck and we laugh, argue, and just deal with our day-to-day lives and the random people and situations that come with it. Right now is just a really great time for me. For all of us, I think. And having my kid Greyson with me is just icing on the cake.

But, anyway, I just wanted to take this time to thank my mom. Really fucking thank her. She is the glue in our family that binds us all together. She’s stronger than any of us. Despite the fact that she’s been called Walter Hoffman’s daughter or Herbie Fletcher’s wife or Christian and Nathan’s mom or Greyson’s grandma, she’s the one and only Dibi and her presence and heart are bigger than any of ours combined.

I love my mom and I’m also very lucky to have her as a friend. I hope the rest of you are fortunate enough to have that with your moms and acknowledge it.

Happy Mother’s Day.

ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF “HEY DIBI” WHERE YOU ASK THE QUESTIONS AND DIBI TELLS IT LIKE IT IS. ENJOY.

Hi dibi, how are you doing? my question is did christian and nathan compete in the nssa or wsa? - billy rides waves

Dibi: Yes, they both were in the NSSA. Christian was kicked-out when he did a clothing ad for Stussy, and Nathan wanted to go to Metallica’s Monsters of Rock concert instead of the Nationals in Texas. So I guess it was shades of things to come.

————————————————————————————–

Nice job with “Hey Dibi” but my slight comment or suggestion is perhaps you can be a little more detailed in your answers? Love to read what you have to say but they’re such brief and quick answers! Please don’t see this as criticism! I look forward to “Hey Dibi” each and every time! - Tamara K.

Dibi: I’m used to talking and working with men and you have a sentence, perhaps, to get your point across. Women, of course, want something more in-depth; it’s difficult to try to satisfy both in this medium, but I’ll try.

————————————————————————————–

Is Christian really running for city council? Man that’s coming full circle! He’s got my vote! - JDawg

Dibi: He’s considering all possibilities at this time. He’s got my vote also.

————————————————————————————–

I love Greyson Fletcher! Is this really his brother’s site? Does Greyson have a girlfriend? Can you post up some regular photos of him not just sk8 ones? :) - Michelle92657

Dibi: This is his father’s site. No girlfriend at present, and we’ll be posting new shots frequently.

————————————————————————————–

Shit i dont know i didn’t really have a question i guess i just wanted to say hi and maybe see if you say hi back. So hi dibi. lol. - Paul Serrano

Dibi: Hey Dude, how’s it goin’?

————————————————————————————–

What happened to the D-Side interviews? You guys were busting them out all the time and now its kinda stopped. How goes it? - JM

Dibi: We’re waiting to have our site updated so we can post them directly and not go through YouTube.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, I was curious as to who Astrodeck draws as far as the international market and fan base goes? - Ed Pierson

Dibi: I don’t really understand what you’re asking, but we’ve been around so long and traveled the world that I think we have friends all over who share our love for surf, art, and pushing the envelope.

————————————————————————————–

What are the dates for when Christian will be in Tampa for the wrestling demos? I am looking forward to seeing him! I live in New Jersey but defintely won’t miss this if he will be in Florida! - Greg Pleibert

Dibi: I’m not sure of the dates right now as it has been put off a couple of times due to unforseen circumstances.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, those pics of Bruce and Archy and Nathan with Herbie at the Mentawais was sick. Herbie has a sick site. But I have a question and call me stupid but does Bruce ride for Astrodeck? Or is Wave Warriors a different company altogether? he had a sick Wave Warriors shirt on. So sick I want one! - Gable Oda

Dibi: Thanks, I think Herb does great photos also. Bruce was/is a huge fan of the Wave Warriors series and certainly is one himself. Herb had a few shirts made to give to some of the guys that he admires.

————————————————————————————–

Chrisian fletcher in politics? !!! What’ s next???!! !!! Is he going to be opera singer! ???? or join navy!  Anything is possible for crazy fletcher! he the man! - Mr. Black

Dibi: Opera singer sounds cool, I think he’s a bit old for the Navy though.

————————————————————————————–

Goodness you are very beautiful Dibi! Is that another Bruce Weber photo? - Janice Padilla

Dibi: Thank you. No, that photo you’re talking about was taken by Herb.

————————————————————————————–

DIBI I NEED HELP! I CANT STOP WATCHING TWEAK FREAKS ON MY VHS MACHINE ITS GONNA BREAK DOWN SOON WHY DONT YOU GUYS MAKE MOVIES LIKE THIS ANYMORE?????????? IM BURNING MY TAPE PLAYER AND I DONT WANT TO STOP WATCHING TWEAK FREAKS MORNING DAY AND NIGHT!! 24 FUKKKEN 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Lunacidal Tendencies

Dibi: Herb and I just don’t have the time right now to go to the beach like we used to, but we’re working on a couple of new film projects.

————————————————————————————–

Hello Dibi, enjoy reading your insights to all things and life in general. I’m a mom with two sons myself who are now 28 and 32 and boy, I tell ya, they’ve put me through the ringer! There were times when I just crumbled to the floor but I lived with the hope that they’d “come around” eventually and they have! Reading about you and your family has made me feel so “human” and though there are still struggles on a daily basis in my own life, I truly feel a maternal kinship with you. It’s so wonderful to see Christian interacting with his fans on Facebook. He seems so healthy and positive! And he’s also very funny and I never knew he had that side to him! His Barrack Obama photos are a crack-up! What’s your take on this whole social networking and message board forums such as the one you use on Christian’s site here? We sure didn’t have the internet when we were kids, did we, Dibi? Thank you for this! Many blessings to you and your family! - Joan R.

Dibi: Life as a Mom was certainly nothing that I ever could have imagined. Lots of heartache, loneliness, and tough times, but seems like the sun is finally starting to shine. We’re all working together and enjoying each others company, which I never thought would happen just a few years ago. How cool. CF does have an incredible sense of humor and I’m glad that he has a chance to share it…I think people are really disarmed by it, which I think is humourous in itself. Good luck with your family and thanks for the support.

————————————————————————————–

If Nathan was the firstborn son and Christian the second born son, do you think they would still be the same people they are today? - Getting Deep with Dibi

Dibi: Yes, they would still be themselves, but I’m sure there would be some different twist to their personalities due to the birth order.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi. See any good movies lately? - Eric Lindley

Dibi: No, I’m sorry to say. I’ve been working, making art and reading.

————————————————————————————–

Did Christian grow up with any limits or restrictions like curfews, chores, etc. Or did he pretty much rock and roll and do whatever the hell he fucking felt like? - Kev-O

Dibi: My Dad gave us four lessons to live by: A Hoffman doesn’t lie, cheat, steal, or play ball in the house. I figured that pretty much takes care of it.

————————————————————————————–

Greyson Fletcher is pretty cool. I first heard of him from John from Cincinnati and had no idea he came from this surf royalty. Is he going to do more shows and maybe movies soon? If I give you guys my address is there a way you guys can get me a signed photo? Thanks! - Craig Dalton

Dibi: Greyson has no plans to do anything with Hollywood anytime soon. He’s surfing, skating, and having the time of his life. So sorry we don’t have photos available now, check in later.

————————————————————————————–

Ok is Christian really running for San Clemente mayor? Or are you pulling our legs? Inquiring minds want to know dammit! - Steven Bailer

Dibi: It’s City Councilman, and he’s keeping all options open.

————————————————————————————–

Why did Christian hate Richie Collins and Pat O’Connell does he still hate them? I heard about why hates Ian Carns tho! - Kuriosity Kat Killer

Dibi: I don’t remember, and I don’t think CF gives a shit anymore.

————————————————————————————–

Yo Mama Fletcher, what bugs you out? - Danny Weithmer

Dibi: Insincerity!

————————————————————————————–

Dibi your a chick so you can answer this but why dont you girls like hairy guys? It’s hard for me to always manscape and please you women! - Hairy Hank

Dibi: I could care less, and I don’t pretend to talk for other women.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, has the surf industry changed much or has it really never changed at all? What do you think about it? - Just Brandon

Dibi: Once it became an “industry” it really has changed at all.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, how is Nathan being? He always being my fave surfer. Is he filming self-made movie again ? This Colors Taste like Music is best!… Please let me know! - Esteban Guevera

Dibi: Nathan’s great, I saw him the other day when he came by to take Greyson surfing. I’m not sure what he’s doing film-wise right now, but I’m sure he’ll surprise us all.

————————————————————————————–

Is there any way to watch those vids without paying for them? I don’t have a credit card. - Poor SOB

Dibi: I don’t think so. It’s a new technology we’ve been working with and it seems pretty cool.

————————————————————————————–

Herbie and Christian have one. Why don’t you and Nathan? Websites that is. Come on Dibi! - Mike Garrity

Dibi: I enjoy working on theirs and feel there’s no need for me to have one also. Nathan likes his own space between himself and the rest of the world.

————————————————————————————–

Maybe you can help us. A pitcher of Redhook is on the line. My buddy says that Think Fast was a snowboarding company you guys branded. I say it was a company that was launched to form a new line for Nathan. Who’s in the right? Thanks Dibi! - Rick Jensen

Dibi: You’re right, we launched the line for Nathan who was really into snowboarding and MotoCross at the time.

————————————————————————————–

Does Christian have any old boards he’s willing to sell? Can you post it on Facebook if he is and what size boards he’s selling if he is! - SikBoy

Dibi: I’ll ask.

————————————————————————————–

Can you guys post up pics of Nathan from the 80s and 90s on the Astrodeck Facebook or the Astrodeck website? You guys do a good job with Christian’s site and all and I’m not dissing the Fletch man cause he rules! But it’d be pretty sweet to see some vintage Nathan stuff to. Judging from Christian’s Facebook comments I’m not the only one who wants to see some more Nathan to! So make it happen Dibi! :)   - Matt M.

Dibi: I’ll work on it.

————————————————————————————–

Makua Rothman rides for you guys but the guy’s a whining little puss. He has balls on riding those huge mackers but his overall style sucks. What do you guys see in him to have him as a team rider? - Kick Rocks Makua

Dibi: As you said he has balls!

————————————————————————————–

Hello Dibi. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your life in terms of success, happiness, experiences, etc.? - Nance

Dibi: It’s all over the place depending on the day. But, overall, I’m grateful for all the ups and downs, so I’ll give the experience a 10!

————————————————————————————–

I love this! I think HEY DIBI is so great! What a treat to read something from a professional surfer’s mom, and not just any professional surfer, but Christian Fletcher’s! Hehehe! Eat your heart out, Judy Slater! Thanks Dibi Fletcher! - FletcherFamFan

Dibi: Thanks, it fun being able to communicate with people. I think it helps get rid of the Addams Family sterotype.

————————————————————————————–

Ok Dibi. Confession time. When they were kids, did you make Christian and Nathan take music lessons or go to cathecism school, did they wear braces, get straight A’s, build jigsaw puzzles? Expose their nerd factor, I know there must be something! - Chris Johnston

Dibi: Guitar lessons, cello lessons, braces, reading, vision therapy, parochial school for a year…everything any parent who loves their kids would do.

————————————————————————————–

Do you know a number figure on how many tats Christian has exactly? And what is his favorite tat and where did he get it done? - Arnie P.

Dibi: Not a clue. He has cover ups, add-ons and everything else. I just asked him and he said the one on the back of his head, done by Craig Christy from RayGun Tattoo, and then redone by Natalia from Art Machine 66 who lives in Bali.

————————————————————————————–

That was a sick video of Christian bullriding. How long has he been riding? - Jon Wenton

Dibi: Not long, he had a lesson with one of the Leffew’s, so off he went.

————————————————————————————–

If Christian is gonna be city councilmen isn’t it only right that Herbie run for Prez? - Happy Red

Dibi: Now that would be great, something like Mr. Magoo!

————————————————————————————–

Dang youre purty Dibi. I can’t believe you have a son as old as Christian lol! - Nico S.

Dibi: Thank you, I can’t believe it either.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi do you know where I can get a copy of Chop Suey Club? Thank you. - Lauren McCoy

Dibi: No, I sure don’t, sorry.

————————————————————————————–

Is there a topic that is hands off to you and that you will not answer or acknowledge? - Quinn

Dibi: It hasn’t been asked yet so I don’t know.

So all three of our sites were down for a little over a week. Yup. Www.astrodeck.com, www.herbiefletcher.com and www.christianfletchersurf.com. All down. Fucking tech hell. Eight days in a row. And that’s been a bummer because, like always, we’re always updating and putting up new content. I mean, fuck, I like to give my audience new stuff to brood over, you know? I don’t understand people who have their own websites and blogs and never do anything with them. Like they could care less about their fans and people who want to see recent stats on what they’ve been up to. What’s the purpose then of having one? I think when I’m on here, blogging and Facebooking, that I’m interacting with people from all over and we’re connecting in some way. Whether it’s me just saying thanks for the support, or telling some of you dumbfucks to go take a shit in a milk carton, at least we’re communicating, right?

But, anyway, we’re back. And back with a vengeance. All three sites are up and running. And there’s so much to do. I’m being serious when I say we have so many photos, interviews and other random things to post up here. I mean, I can post up new material every hour and things never get tired. It’s just now being able to find the time to do it all. But I’m stoked. I love the way things are going and the direction we’re taking things.

We’re also in the process of tweaking some things on here, changing the look a little, adding something called “The D-Side”. My mom’s Q&A series, “Hey Dibi” has been so successful and getting a lot of good reaction, so we thought we’d go off the richter scale and include a bunch of raw interviews she’s done (and will continue to do) with people from all walks of life. Talk a walk on the wild side. The D-Side. These characters are definitely not your typical, boring, bland cottage cheese of individuals. I mean, come on, we’re the Fletchers. Just because I’ve made my living as a professional surfer doesn’t mean that these are the only people I talk with or hang out with. No. In fact, I probably don’t hang out with surfers really at all. And I’m down to talk with anyone, learn interesting things from them, get their points of view, etc. and include all of this criss-crossing onto my site in one form or another. It makes things fun and shakes things up. And, fuck, you know I’m all about a good eyebrow raising.

We also recently hooked up with the guys at Casmiro. It’s still in its early stages but I hope to see things boom with that. Basically, what it is is, we’ve given them all our old footage from the movies we used to make at Fletcher Media. You know, films like the Wave Warriors anthology, Adrenaline Surf Series, Savage Beast, Tweak Freaks, Smut Peddler, etc. You get the idea. They take all our footage and splice them into 8-10 minute series and rent them out. Right now, we’ve got Part 1 of Savage Beast up and running. Then we’ll have Part 2 out, so forth and so on. You get to watch it for a few days for only $1.99 or 2 weeks for $2.99. And I think we’re working on a monthly membership plan. Check out the link here and catch the preview. Then join as a member. Yeah-yeah! Casmiro will be the only outlet for you guys to see all this vintage stuff. No where else. Unless you bought an old VHS copy 10 years ago.

And besides all this web stuff, my kid Greyson’s here with me. Working at Astrodeck, learning the ropes. He’s stoked and eager. In fact, he’s here right now working on designing a new sandal using 3D animation and graphics. Pretty sick. We also just grabbed a bunch of sponsors, but I’ll save that for another blog and give you the lowdown on that later.

So for those of you who have been wondering where the fuck I’ve been the past few days in cyber land, well there you go. There’s the latest update. There’s actually way more stuff to talk and report about, but you know what? I just don’t fucking feel like it right now. It’s 3:09 PM. Time for lunch. I’m thinking sandwich.

Oh, and one last thing. I’ll be having my wrestling debut this Saturday at the San Clemente Arena at 6 PM. Christian “Savage Beast” Fletcher. This little side gig has grown into something bigger and I’m always down to try something new. Couldn’t pass this gig up, so come and check it out. If I do well at this event and the next upcoming four events, I may be invited to join the professional wrestling federation. Sweet.
