Moskova recently picked-up Greyson to ride for their team, and they’re already doing a good job promoting him in their new ads.

So not only is he covered (literally) in Moskova Boxers, but he also rides for Stance Socks… Damn, Greyson, I guess I don’t need to take you to WalMart anymore to load up on those undergarments.

Click or cut/paste the link and check Greyson out on the Moskova website:

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

Hi Dibi, how are you? My question is in regards to Walter your father actually. I am just curious about how Hoffman Fabrics came about with he and the late Flippy (RIP). Thanks you’re doing a great job! - Daniel Mercado

Dibi: Hoffman Fabrics was originally started by their father, Rube, in New York before either of them were born. They got into it after they grew up and were ready to settle down.

Hi Dibi! You are so beautiful. I love the photo of you and Christian, side by side. And it being a Bruce Weber photo adds to it. Any chance that we’ll get to see more photos of beautiful you? - Laurel Fishmann

————————————————————————————–

————————————————————————————–

Okay come on. “Hey Dibi” needs to be bought and put into a column for Transworld Surf or syndicated live on access cable or Sirius. Maybe CF can read the questions and you can answer or there can be live call in from viewers. I wanna see DF live! - Peter North

The Fletcher fam damily back in the day.

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

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, how are you? I have a question. What do you think if this country were to enforce that all men, by the age of 21, serve in our military for at least 2 years? - Timothy Ryan (San Clemente)

Dibi: In my Dad’s generation, all men went in the service; he said it made a man of him and always thought it would have been the best thing for all his grandsons. I’ve always respected his opinion and have thought often about it. I started a charity to help entertain the military but have had a bit of a hard go of it lately with the poor economy. I don’t question the advantage that great discipline brings into your life, I just question the judgment of those ultimately in charge.

————————————————————————————–

Other than your father, husband and sons, who is your favorite surfer? - Jonas Vikker

Dibi Fletcher: Bruce Irons, best style!

————————————————————————————–

Are the questions on hey dibi really being answered by Dibi Fletcher? - Tracy Heffron

Dibi: YES. I don’t let anyone else ever speak for me!

————————————————————————————–

What historical person do you relate to or admire - Dan Rodgers

Dibi: There’s certain aspects of many different figures that I admire, but they’re all human with many faults as well. So, perhaps it’s easier to think about what qualities I aspire to; loyalty, honesty, integrity, tenacity, sincerity, humility and a great sense of humor will be a good start to my list.

————————————————————————————–

Nate Fletcher is a beast! I’ve seen him ride slop and I’ve seen him attack the biggest waves. Did he always have balls of steel when he was a kid too? I think he surfed Waimea at 15 foot plus when he was only 12?????? - Mike Chapman

Dibi: Yes, he was always so much younger then everyone that he pushed himself to keep up. He seemed cautious but fearless at the same time; an interesting juxtaposition of character traits thrown in together.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, I read an interview that Christian did and in it he mentioned that he liked listening to Devo and the B-52’s. Never thought I’d hear him say that! Who knew Christian was such a New Waver? Ha ha ha. - Warren Alotis

Dibi: I think there’s many things about Christian that would surprise people. Most only see one side of someone and think they have them pegged, seems very short sighted.

————————————————————————————–

Dear Dibi, will you marry me? Leave Herbie and his jet skis. - B. R.

Dibi: Another guy wanting me to take care of them? Sorry, my dance cards full at the moment, but thanks for asking.

————————————————————————————–

This is more a request I hope than a question but I love the photos you have would it be possible to post a family portrait of you herbie christian , nathan from the early years? They make me smile. - Patty Schreiber

Dibi: Thanks, I’ll have to look for some.

————————————————————————————–

How have you guys achieved that rare feat of still being family owned and operated? Times are so tough but I have yet to see Astrodeck ever sell out to the big stinkers. Keep it up! - Beau Marcum

Dibi: Thanks, it’s such hard work when all the big guys can out-spend you and undercut you at the same time. But here’s the middle finger to them all: “We’re not going away!”

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, so was Christian really going to run for city council are was he just pulling our legs? I wish he did I would have voted for him! Fletch man rules! - Chris Darwin

Dibi: Yes, but he thought it was best to spend time with Greyson right now.

————————————————————————————–

Is there really a Dibi? Or is this just one of Christian Fletcher’s evil masterminds yet again? - John Kinney

Dibi: Dude, on ocassion I’m sure Christian wishes there was an evil mastermind.

————————————————————————————–

If u were bald would u wear a wig or u dont care if ur bald? - Tom Foolery

Dibi: I shaved my head before and it was cold but cool. I wear wigs, every color for a change of pace, it’s all good.

————————————————————————————–

CF’s facebook is rockin! The things he posts are so funny. But I also didn’t know that he got deep sometimes. Love the funny stuff but also love the social commentaries and questions he poses. It’s interesting because he actually doesn’t talk about surfing much. There’s more to him and I really am a huge fan of Hey Dibi as well so please never stop! - David Knox

Dibi: Thanks, we actually rarely talk about surfing ourselves, not much to say; drop in, go for it, make it, eat shit. It’s fun if you’re the one doing it, but it does lose something in translation.

————————————————————————————–

Is Christian sponsored by anyone right now? - Dill Chapman

Dibi: Himself, and it’s perfect!

————————————————————————————–

I know the truth and I know that Dibi Fletcher is the one keeping it all together! So thank you to Dibi! Women never get the respect or acknowledgment in this Big Boys league! And that sucks! - N.S.

Dibi: Hey, thanks, that’s very nice.

————————————————————————————–

What is your one specific favorite memory of Christian growing up? - Danielle Weissman

Dibi: There really isn’t just one, there’s a million little small things that make our lives special, and a million memories that become the gifts of a relationship.

————————————————————————————–

What really happened? Why was Christian in Bali for so long? Are the rumors true - because he had to and didnt want to come back to US soil? - Mark Kohling

Dibi: He went for a couple of days and stayed a year-and-a-half, and had the time of his life! How nice for him!!!

————————————————————————————–

Hi, when are you guys going to do a D-Side with Greyson? Been waiting for it! I am a big fan! - Josh N.

Dibi: Greyson just did an interview with Jason Jesse for Juice Magazine, and so he’s getting more used to the format and feeling more comfortable so it won’t be long.

————————————————————————————–

How much do you roll your eyes in disgust over our stupid questions? LOL! - Chloe Walsh

Dibi: I try to be respectful and answer with out judgment.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, many thanks for the laughs you give me for having to put up with our questions. I think this is really great. What gave you guys the idea to do something like this? And please keep up the good work! :)  - Crystal Shaw

Dibi: People used to ask Christian questions and he’d answer “Ask my Mom” so we thought it was a good idea to go direct.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, curious to know, do you still actively compete in Ballroom dancing? My friend, Mary Bruins used to compete in your division I believe. Were you featured in any showcases? Thank you. - Victoria Mattison

Dibi: I got so busy working, I didn’t have the time anymore. It was really great to travel with my mom and play dress-up but times change and on I go to the next adventure.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, so we’ve all read how Christian was the wild child and Nathan was the quiet one. But what’s surprising to you in contradiction to this? In other words, what is Christian actually kind of quiet and subdued about and what makes Nathan craaaaaazy? - Al Thornton

Dibi: Christian is very non-judgmental and Nathan can’t stand big social functions.

————————————————————————————–

What the fuck??? How come Ian Cairns that fat aussie pig and Richie Collins are on Christian’s fan page????????? - Craig Zinman

Dibi: They can’t stand not being where the action is, and we’re all quite amused by it.

————————————————————————————–

Hey dibi, the fletches rock! you guy make me want to surf and rock and roll evyday !!! can i party with all fletchers? !! - Alain Bazzir

Dibi: Sure, if the occasion arises we’ll all be there.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi, can I have Christian’s phone number. Hehehe. Just kidding. - Rayna Blythe

Dibi: That’s a decision above my pay scale.

————————————————————————————–

How different would it have been if Jeff Booth and those other morons didn’t write that letter? - Sam Hutchens

Dibi: Who’s to say? We’re all happy and no one but yourself can take that away, so let people say what they want.

————————————————————————————–

On a scale of 1 to 10 how much of what you read about Christian or what you read about stuff in general in the surf mags is true? - Zachary Tom

Dibi: I can’t say about anyone else, but most of what others say about Christian is written to create controversy and in hopes for a sale.

————————————————————————————–

Carne asada or carnitas? Help me make my dinner choice! - Hamish Stephen

Dibi: Nice salad, broiled new potatoes, and a half bottle of Vietnamese hot sauce thrown on top.

————————————————————————————–

Nathan has made it known that he is not a competitive surfer but I always thought despite his image and reputation that Christian actually kinda was. So….was he? - Ray Van Duyn

Dibi: The only one Christian had to compete with was himself; all the judges gave him no points for what he was doing, so he just created different tricks to outdo the last one he had mastered.

————————————————————————————–

Dibi do you have any home remedy for the runs? All this over the the counter stuff ain’t cutting it for me! I’m in pain! - Brian Rockford

Dibi: I’m no doctor and prefer leaving a diagnosis to someone who is.

————————————————————————————–

HELLO DIBI WHATS UP I WANT TO WORK AT ASTRODECK I AM NOT JOKING I WILL DO ANYTHING I WILL EVEN CLEAN CHRISTIANS SHIT FROM THE TOILET PLEASE HIRE ME I AM A GOOD WORKER DO I NEED TO ASK YOU OR HERBIE I KNOW YOUR THE MAN EVEN THO YOUR  A WOMAN TEE HEE BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ARE YOU GUYS HIRING???????????? - BEN OSUNA

Dibi: So sorry, this time of year is extremely slow.

————————————————————————————–

Fuck Ann Landers or Dear Abby or whatever it is now let’s get Hey Dibi nationally syndicated!!!! Yewwwwwwwwwwww! - Tyler Hawthorne

Dibi: Thanks, that’s quite funny.

————————————————————————————–

If you had to pick to be an animal what animal would you be an why? - Dustin Mackenzie

Dibi: A cat. Independent, graceful, great coat, and very intuitive.

————————————————————————————–

I laughed when Christian said he had a cockatoo and he trained it to bite Nathan. Any more fun anecdotes from their childhood, dibi? I love them! - Melissa Chambers

Dibi: I cut my hair when he was two, he didn’t like it and refused to call me Mom. He referred to me as Dibi and rarely addressed me personally for quite some time.

————————————————————————————–

It has been a rough year. First Marvin and now Andy. Do you think Andy’s death was really from the fever? I don’t buy it. - T. Simmons

Dibi: I wasn’t there and no use speculating, the results will be out soon with the offical cause. It’s very sad!

————————————————————————————–

RIP Andy. So stoked that Christian is still here with us! Dibi, are you guys doing ok? - Kai Stinson

Dibi: Thank you, everyone thought it would be Christian. I’m very sorry for the Irons family.

————————————————————————————–

I am sorry about the loss of your friend Andy. He will forever be immortalized a Wave Warrior. Will you guys be putting out a footage retrospective on him? I only ask because I know he is a Wave Warrior. Thank you. - Vicente Pena

Dibi: We’re working on something that I’m sure he’d be stoked to be a part of. He was a Wave Warrior!!!

Dibi Fletcher's sculpture located on Pico Avenue in San Clemente.

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

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.

Here’s another installment of “Hey Dibi”…the series where you ask my mom anything…and I do mean, ANYTHING, and she’ll give you the God’s honest truth of what she thinks. Don’t be afraid to bring up anything and don’t be afraid to hear what she has to say.  Mom never holds back!

Oh, and check out this photo. Pretty cool, huh? Bruce Weber took it at my grandparent’s house. It’s one of my favorites of me and my mom.

Hey Dibi,

Do you enjoy being a mother? Or better yet, do you enjoy being Christian’s mother?

- Mark Moises

Dibi: It’s been an amazing adventure; extreme highs and lows and everything in-between. What a LIFE!!!

——————————————————————————

Hey Dibi,

Dibi, hello! What is it like running your own company, Astrodeck, with your husband? Do you get tired of working with each other?

- Evelyn Kinski

Dibi: I’ve never worked for anyone else, so I can’t compare it with other jobs. But I think we work well together. Some of it’s quite interesting, some of it sucks, but I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work in an environment where we can be creative and do some fun wacky things. Like, how many people get the chance to do something as bizarre as this? Like, who the hell cares what I think?!? Do I get tired of working with each other? That would be DUH!!! But after so many years of living and working together, I can’t imagine it any other way…and some of it’s pure comedy!!!

——————————————————————————

Hey Dibi,

What virtue do you think is overrated and one you stand by fiercely?

- Patrick O’Malley

Dibi: All that hand-slapping “bro” bullshit…so phony…but get in trouble and most of those guys are gone like the wind. I’ve always tried to be a FRIEND and that means no matter what!!!

——————————————————————————

Hey Dibi,

There is this gross, ugly, smelly Mexican that won’t stop coming by my house and calling me. I think he might have stolen my son’s iPhone. What to do? He thinks I’m into that.

- Lisa Humphreys

Dibi: Get a hand gun and a rottweiler. Like, really!!!

——————————————————————————

Hey Dibi,

What really pisses you off?

- Senton Crowley

Dibi: There’s kind of a list, but, if I had to choose…maybe one thing related to business, I hate being treated like the little woman. That international customers want to only talk to Herbie, what a joke. You know, like most chicks, it’s the little stuff that blows my mind.

Hey Dibi,

Congrats to you and Herbie! You guys are great! What’s the secret to your success?

- Henry Mous

Go to your corners! Most women want to talk about what’s brothering them but when I’m feeling great, all’s well. When I’m tried, just like everyone else, life’s a bitch. I go ride my bike, go to my own room, where ever to be alone and relax and rejuvenate and everything feels much better. It’s not Herb’s responsibility to make me feel good, it’s mine. I don’t know if it was personal info you wanted or business, but if I’m not clear you can always write and ask again.

Hey Dibi,

Admit it, Dibi, you smoke the herb right? LOL, it’s cool, you can tell me.

- Hector Bartiza

Dibi: Oh, there are a few things in life that I like to leave to the imagination.

Hey Dibi,

Did the Fletchers vote for Obama?

- Jeff Walden

Dibi; Hope and change…um!

Hey Dibi,

What do you love about your sons? What do you love about Nathan and what do you love about Christian?

- Megan Rocha

Dibi: I learned a valuable lesson years ago from a very dear friend of mine about love. It’s not how you feel about them but about how they make you feel about yourself. That’s the gift. I adore them both and they’re so different but when they say “Hey Mom…” and they’re talkin’ to me, it’s GRAND…

Hey Dibi,

Dibi were you a conventional mother or a hippie? I do not know much about you but for you to answer questions for CF’s site makes you pretty cool in my book. Love the answers you give too. Thanks for the laughs!

- David Paulsen

Dibi: Well, I guess I started out as a hippie. I ran away from home with Herb when I was sixteen. Life was great, the beach was perfect, the waves in front of the house were unreal. Then life started to kinda get in the way, you know, responsibility has a tendency to do that. WOW, kids. So it was time to grow up. Christian started goin’ off pretty early and someone had to be there to be counted on. Is that conventional? I don’t think much in my life would be looked at as conventional, and I don’t think I could have enjoyed Christian so much if I had delusions of being June Cleaver.

Hey Dibi,

When is the angriest you’ve been with Christian?

- William Bweller

Dibi: Waiting in a hotel room in Tokyo for him to show up when we were scheduled to leave the country. Man, was I pissed! He strolled in with, like, one minute to spare and couldn’t understand why I was uptight. He had been out all night getting tattooed!

Hey Dibi,

If Christian and Nathan were in a contest who are you cheering for?

- Dustin Hibbs

Dibi: Either. It’s not going to make a difference to me, and if it make a difference to them, that’s their stuff to work out.

Hey Dibi,

Hey there. Where did the name Astrodeck come from? Any meaning behind it or just a name?

- Thomas Creager

Dibi: It was 1976, and everything was sleek and cool. We thought that “Astrodeck” was a great name for something that was the last part of a perfect-shaped surfboard - where your foot is planted for maximum torque in your turns. Christian used it to launch air, so it really ended up pretty okay.

Hey Dibi,

The Fletcher’s make San Clemente. So what do you like about San clemente? It has been your home for years, yes?

- Rodrigo Parga

Dibi: I love running on the beach and riding my bike, and my family are all close-by, so it’s always home.
