“How do you guys deal with all the ass kissers?”

Tuesday, April 12th, 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

"And the Band Played On" by Dibi Fletcher

Who do you think is the most villainous person of all time? - Albert Sagihara

Dibi: It seems to me that every era has completely demented and deranged people that are enabled by their peers to commit atrocities. It’s difficult to pick a favorite from the many monsters of past and present.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi! what is your secret to great skin in the sun? You are absolutely beautiful! - Summer Elizabeth Stewart

Dibi: Thanks, I do my best to stay out of the sun and have for the last 20 years. It sucks, but I go to the beach all covered up!

————————————————————————————–

Any possibility of posting up some old school Bloodshot photos? Thanks! - Tajim Shaw

Dibi: Sorry, I really don’t have any pics of Bloodshot. I think someone posted some awhile back from when the band was on a tour of the East Coast.

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

Hi Dibi, what has been your favorite ad of Christian and Nathan and will you post it up if you have a copy of it? - Billy Salters

Dibi: I thought the Airwalk ad of Christian when he’s dressed in tennis whites, jumping over the net, was amusing. For Nathan, it was the Art Brewer photograph of him standing in front of a little clapboard house with blue trim and pink flamingos in the yard for Gotcha.

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

Hey Dibi, you and the hub are good stuff. Thanks for making life creative and colorful. - Christopher Taloa

Dibi: Oh, that’s nice. I’m glad to know that people enjoy what we’re doing.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi just so I know for future reference, what WON’T you answer? Don’t want to make a fool out of myself! LOL! - Dan Burke

Dibi: I don’t know, perhaps there are things that I feel are private, but I try to be polite and just let it go.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–Hey Dibi what is Greyson’s favorite food? I love Greyson Thunder Fletcher! - Jesse Andrade

Dibi: It’s Nasi Badang!!

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

Sooo just a question for Christian but seeing how he doesnt answer anyone, maybe Mom could give some kind of answer? Christian: Boxers or briefs? ;) - Alison Winchem

Dibi: I think that’s something Christian should answer for himself - if he feels the need.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Dibi or Christian or whoever can answer, what happened to Lanty wetsuits? Are they only in Japan now with no shops carrying them here? There so sick! Had a shortjohn Lanty back in the day! Want another one! - Chris Green

Dibi: Unfortunately, they’re out of business and I don’t think it will be resurrected anytime soon.

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

hey gonna post another pic of good ole walter stuffing someone going left in mexico? SICK PIC! GO WALTER! - darius givens

Dibi: It’s very interesting that so many people write in and request photos, I’ll see if I can dig something up.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–

hi dibi. what are you in total disagreement with herbie about? - Peter Armorsen

Dibi: It’s usually little things, if it was the big stuff, we couldn’t have made it this long.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–

What do you think is the biggest waste of money and time? OF ALL TIME! - Billy Everett

Dibi: That’s difficult, it’s so broad, I’m not quite sure what you’re asking. Government programs, plenty! Business, being expected to give away “free” stuff.

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

hey dibi what ever happened to joyce Hoffman .??? in the early day she was the surf hottie.always had style and class .how about an update on joyce ? thanks- Robert Bentley

Dibi: She does a lot of stand up paddling, enjoys camping and fly fishing, UGH!

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

WTF I just saw this movie called AMERICAN SUMMER was that nathan I just saw??? How’d he get that gig?? Mango or Mongo or something was the name???!!!!!!??????? - Troy Luigo

Dibi: I think that’s right, but it was so long ago I can’t really remember.

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

Hey Dibi! For everyone in your family, including Greyson Fletcher and Joyce Hoffman and your father Walter as well as Herbie, yourself and Nathan and Christian, name actors who you think could portray you guys perfectly. - Bailey Derwin

Dibi: None, I think I’d always just consider them imposters.

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

Please post more pix of your beautiful self Dibi! So apreciate! - Bianca De La Castro

Dibi: I never liked having my picture taken much, but I’ll look around.

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

I don’t have a question, just stopping by to say hi….hi Dibi! - Mike Costello

Dibi: Hey, that’s cool!

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

Can you tell Greyson happy belated birthday for me! I am a huge fan of his and will he be doing any new shows? - Morgan Pierce

Dibi: I’ll give him the message. As for another show, I don’t think anytime soon. He’s skating all the time and enjoying himself.

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

Is Hoffman Fabrics and Astrodeck run by the same group or group of financiers? - Jeff Dowland

Dibi: No! Hoffman Fabrics is run by my brother Tony. Astrodeck is a completely separate entity and I’m COO.

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

Any chance of you posting up some photos of Nathan as a grom. I don’t mean when he was 5 but more like 16, 17 in his early Gotcha ad days? I am making a collage for my Surf PE class on favorite surfers and we have to make a time line - Rebecca Sordstrom

Dibi: I’m sure you can probably find photos on Google Images to help with your collage.

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

What would be a dream come true for you? - Jason Stiles

Dibi: I’d sure like a little more time to make art.

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

I’ve seen Greyson at the San Clemente skatepark and he frigging rips! When did he first hop on a skateboard and can ya ask him for me what it is he likes so much about it? What’s he working on? - Mike Olversten

Dibi: Christian put him on his first skateboard when he was a week old. Yesterday he was trying to do a nose block, and he thinks it will be a go again today even though he says it’ll probably be impossible for awhile.

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

Hey Dibi is that barbed wire artwork of Nathan in Supernatural? I thought it looked familiar. Fantastic piece of work! - Rhett Timony

Dibi: Herb and I can’t remember, it’s sad, but we’ve done so many things since then, it’s hard to keep it all straight. But again, it’s quite probable I painted it right about that time.

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

How do you guys deal with all the ass kissers? DAMN it makes me laugh but do you guys get tired of it or know who your real friends are??? - Tony Raiffler

Dibi: That’s funny, I don’t think most people like us very much, but then again I really stay quite isolated and no one around here kisses my ass.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Joel Tudor says Herbie calls people fags but if he does then why is he friends with Bruce Weber and other gay Hollywood people? - Darryl Paulsen

Dibi: I don’t know what Joel Tudor says, but I will tell you personally that if Herb ever said that, it was taken out of context as Herb and I have many gay friends.

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

Hey! Are you guys gonna do some 80s skaters like  Hosoi and maybe even older thatn that liek Jay adams or someone for your interview show you know the ddside that would be so dank! - Ronnie Bushwerck

Dibi: Yes, I have plans to do some of the older skaters, it just hasn’t gelled yet.

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

Why does CF have 4 Facebook sites? Which one is the real one? Is this the real Dibi? Help! I’m confused! Arrrrgh! - Leo Kasbrek

Dibi: FB has rules that only let you have so many friends, so CF has had to create other sites to accomodate everyone that wants to give him their opinion.

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

You Make Beautiful Children!! ;) - Kimberly Foreman

Dibi: Thanks, it’s been everything and a whole lot more then I could have ever imagined.

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

Do you know what kind of girls Greyson likes and does he have his own Facebook? Thank you! - Tamara Schurr

Dibi: No, he and I don’t talk much about girls, we usually talk more about the business and skating.

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

Are you patriotic or do you think America is a sinkhole? - Scott Janey

Dibi: I’m proud to be an American. I don’t like a lot of what’s going on, but I’m grateful to live somewhere that I’m free not to like it and change things by voting.

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

Dibi nice photos and nice art. Ever think about putting them in a collection? - David Montoya

Dibi: I don’t understand exactly what you mean. They are in a collection: mine.

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

Been looking all my old Fletcher vids wont part with those ever! You guys did So Alone for Archy and Smut Peddler was Christian’s but how come you guys never came out with a solo vid for Nathan? that would have been sick! - Tim Flood

Dibi: Nathan didn’t want one. We made the snowboard series “Talk’s Cheap” and he was in all of those.

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

What is the nicest thing you have ever seen Christian say or do?- Jim Thornton

Dibi: That list would be very long. He’s a great dad and a wonderful son. I’m fortunate enough to see that in him everyday, and I’m very grateful.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–Hey Dibi, I know you are friends with Bruce Weber, are you guys going to be featured in any of his upcoming books? - RJ Rawlin

Dibi: I guess that would be for him to decide. He’s been a wonderful friend through the years and it’s always a pleasure to work with him.

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

What would you have changed about John From Cinncinati and your experience with it? - Prisilla Abvens

Dibi: Everything!!

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

Everyone has their weakness when it comes to material things even though we all pretend we’re not. So what would you say is something material you, Nathan, Christian and Herbie cherish? - Ryan Nilsson

Dibi: I adore jewelry! I can’t really speak for the others they don’t really seem too materialistic. They like their equipment alright, but they’re not hung up on it.

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

How has Nathan been doing since Sion? - Johnny Noyce

Dibi: He’s surfing and carrying on, but I’m sure the experience changed him deeply.

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

Hi Dibi, see any good movies or read any good books or see anything on the news that has made you cry lately? - Corey Grimes

Dibi: I just finished “Serpentine” by Thomas Thompson. It was interesting. The news pisses me off so much of the time that I try to put boundaries on my watching time. I cried when I saw the devastation in Japan and thought of how horrible it will be for them for a long time to come, it’s heartbreaking.

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

Hey there, Dibi. So here’s my question: Did you raise the boys more as a parental figure or as a friend? Were there boundaries? - Annie Whilem

Dibi: I was a kid, so I’d have to say more as friends as that was all I knew. In hindsight, maybe I should have done something different, but there’s no use living life in the rear view mirror. Both the boys say they had the best childhood ever, so I guess it’s all good now.

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

I am SUCH a fan of your artwork and yet they seem like such a rare,  individual thing. To call it “art” or “artwork” seems…? I don’t know…not you. Is there one definitive word you would call your art? - Ricky Verattle

Dibi: I don’t know, I never liked to sign the pieces because I always thought it made it final and I’ve always liked the idea that they were alive and subject to change. Wow, writing that sounds a bit weird, but the other day I noticed a painting had gotten drips of rain running down it through the roof at work, I like it much better now that it has a life of it’s own.

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

What do you look forward to? - Kenneth Howard

Dibi: I really look forward to the time between the day and night when everything seems still and the sky lights up with the amazing fire of the sunset and the ocean reflects the colors back, it all looks like a huge resin painting, exquisite!

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

Hi Dibi! You are STUNNING not only in that Weber portrait with Christian but the Mirror image. Look forward to more! :) - Patty Ruff

Dibi: Thank you, that’s very nice.

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

Hey Dibi! Hey I didn’t know Christian was born in Hawaii? How long did you raise him there and where was Nathan born? Interesting! - Jenn Trietke

Dibi: We stayed in Hawaii for a couple of years then moved to Sun Valley, Idaho. Nathan was born in San Clemente.

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

Lol Dibi, read the last “Hey Dibi” and must say I find it so entertaining. And I found out you like hot Vietnamese sauces like I do! Are you a fan of Srirachi as well? - Chris Langston

Dibi: Yes, I’m a huge fan.

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

Ok fess up time Dib! Hehe. Did christian suck his thumb or have a security blankie or play with Ken & Barbie dolls. What did he do that will make us all go d AWWWWWWWWWWW! - Bethany Greenberg

Dibi: No, he was quite content and never gave a rip about what anyone thought. He loved to go fast and was totally fearless so I put a motorcycle helmet on him and let him go. At two, he’d haul ass down the hill where we lived, giving the passing cars the finger. He was quite something!

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

Hi Dibi. Tough past year for the Fletcher I would assume with Andy, Flippy and Sion. By the way, how is Nathan holdling up? Has he been kicking it a lot with Bruce for support? - Phillip Hasbrough

Dibi: I think Nathan is good, life’s always a challenge and it’s how you go through it that determines the character of man you become. I would hope that we all have the character to be our best.

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

LMAO DIBI! Christian is such a kidder but sometimes it doesn’t seem like he’s kidding at all! So is he really going to do a reading for the producers for Charlie sheen’s old TV gig? I can’t tell LMAO! Is this for real? If it is, I hope he gets the part! Who better than CF to replace CS?! - Marc Allen

Dibi: I guess we’ll have to wait and see, he’s always been up for new experiences.

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

Hey Dibi! So looking back and being a long time Fletcher fan, seems like Christian’s surfing and hairstyles have always evolved! Lol! What was yours and his favorite? I’m digging the black mohawk and purple hair in Tweak Freaks. - Glen Saucedo

Dibi: Well, the industrial glued hair horns at the Federal Building was a bit much, but the black mohawk was cool.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–

So I know christian always clowns us about running for prez and doing american idol and all that but hows abut you diby? what about dances with the stars i see you used to dance all the time! - ronnie wheeler

Dibi: Yes, I used to dance a lot, but I don’t think “Dancing with the Stars” is for me. Who would run Astrodeck?

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

What???? I saw Skeletor is friends with Christian on Facebook? Say it ain’t so!! Is Christian now having dinner with Ian Carnes? Tandem surfing with Pat O? What happened? Ha ha ha! - Dillon Mackeral

Dibi: I think they all want to know what CF is up to. Love him or hate him, he’s interesting.

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!

————————————————————————————–

THE THREE SAVING GRACES OF “HEY DIBI”

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Note to readers: In case you’re wondering why there are so many grammatical errors as far as the content of some of these questions goes, that’s because I’ve left them as is. I haven’t edited or corrected the comments and questions people have been asking for “Hey Dibi”. Sometimes I get a kick out of the typos and terrible sentence structures. I mean, I know I’m not perfect in this area, either. There are probably a lot of errors you can find in this paragraph alone. But, man…someone once wrote me something and misspelled the word “ocean”. Seriously. They wrote “oshen”. So, anyway, instead of acting the part of the Spelling Gestapo here, I’m just gonna go with the flow and let you guys get a kick out of the type of stuff I get to read every day.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program…

 

hi dibi, what do you think is your greatest attribute and your biggest flaw as a human being? - Anonymous

Dibi: Patience and impatience. The great thing about being human is we get to play both sides of the record.

————————————————————————————–
Hey Dibi, how does nathan stay so fit and trim. I’ve seen him eat JUNK. soda after soda, candy to the max. real sweet tooth! - alec k.

Dibi: He surfs more than anyone I know.

————————————————————————————–

Did the Fletches sit down to family dinners every night? - Kent Smythe

Dibi: It depended on what everyone was doing and at what age they were. When they were younger, yes, but as they got older and the surf was good or whatever. I left dinner for them in the fridge and everyone ate when it was convienient.

————————————————————————————–

Well since Christian asked it, Dibi, what do YOU think about affirmative action? - Aaron Perron

Dibi: I think people should be hired based on skill!

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, does your family own Tar Farms in San Juan? Just curious. - Carrie M.

Dibi: Yes.

Hi Dibi. What do you think is a trait people see as bad and negative but you think is actually very good? - Justin Newsome

Dibi: Honesty; it’s been traded in for political correctness. UGH!

————————————————————————————–

What were Christian and nathan like as little groms? - Jessica Hines

Dibi: They were so cute and loving. We had a great time!

————————————————————————————–

Dang, Greyson kills it. But how come he skates so much without the helmet? Dibi make him! - R.T.

Dibi: Thanks, I have…

————————————————————————————–

Dibi can you ask christian this for me? i heard he and hosoi hate each other. true? why? or stupid rumors? thanks! - HVSkateMethod

Dibi: I don’t think that’s true; they see each other at skate events occasionally and I have an interview they did together awhile back, and they seem fine to me.

————————————————————————————–

Greyboy’s fucking awesome. He can dominate the sk8 world. He gonna be on dside or some other intervews soon for other mags, never seen a Q&a with him ever? - Lee Ellings

Dibi: Thanks, I’m planning to interview him, Christian and Herb for the D-Side soon.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi! Ever think of showing the D-Side interviews with YOU in the video? Would love to see you interacting and not behind the camera! Thanks! Love ‘em! - Diana Prestiss

Dibi: I’ve thought about it, but I always want it to be about the person I’m interviewing. Herb wants me to set up a table and chairs or something, but I not sure that I like the idea. I’ll have to think about it a bit more.

————————————————————————————–

Do you guys have the extra copy of Thrasher magaizine with christian on it? I’ll buy it from you. I reallyl want it.If you doplease let me knows ok! - tom rocha

Dibi: No, I’m sorry, I sure don’t. I called the guys at the mag awhile back and they sent me a CD of the article for my personel collection.

————————————————————————————–

Well Christian I mostly come to FB and not websites but admit I do check out your mom’s Hey Dibi and those DSide interviews. If I could ask Dibi something, I’d want to ask her Prop 8, for or against? And for the Dside can we put in requests or suggestions about interview subjects? - Mike S.

Dibi: The thing I find scary about the issue, is that one judge can override the votes of 7,000,000 people. Our constitutional right to have a say is no longer relevant?!? WOW! And, sure, you can put in requests…but that doesn’t mean I can always pull it off. But I’m interested.

————————————————————————————–

Thanks for all the great personal pics! Please keep them coming it’s great you let us take a peek into your lives! - Cass Osment

Dibi; Thanks, it’s fun to see some of them again myself.

————————————————————————————–

What do you think is the best taste in the world and the worst smell in the world? - Ted Hill

Dibi: I’m seriously addicted to Vietnamese chili garlic sauce. Man, it makes your nose run, your eyes water, it’s great! And the worst smell in the world are Christian and Greyson’s socks!!!

————————————————————————————–

how tall R the Fletcher men? - Abby LaRue

Dibi: Christian, Nathan, and Greyson are all around 5′10″, and Herb’s around 5′8″.

————————————————————————————–

How do you feel about a Catholic church being built next to a playground? - Timothy Daniel Flynn

Dibi: Sounds fine to me; throw in some great stained glass, beautiful architecture, and I think we’re good to go. Unless a McD’s is available because, of course, they should be on every available corner.

————————————————————————————–

Hi Dibi can you ask CF if he likes doing airs still or is he sick of doing them? - Malachai Scott

Dibi: It’s him!

————————————————————————————–

I LOVED the photo of you and Nathan! What a beautiful young family! So my question is, I recollect reading that you said you had the boys at a young age. Do you think you would have been a different kind of mother if you had the children at let’s say, 30+? - No Name

Dibi: Of course, I woundn’t have been the same as I was as a teenager. But I have no regrets, I did the best with what I knew, and the beat goes on.

————————————————————————————–

Hey Dibi, I want to know who Cf thinks wore the pants in the family? You or Herbie? - Troy Maude

Dibi: Herb was really lucky and got to spend so much time playing with the boys, while I took them to the orthodontist, school, had the parent-teacher conferences, the visits to the principle, you know the job. That’s just the way it was, and now we all work together, and it’s still the way it is and everyone seems to be stoked so I guess that’s the answer.

————————————————————————————–

again again, where are the grommet shots of Nathan? you promised…. S.W.

Dibi: Nathan likes his privacy and I try to be respectful of that.

————————————————————————————–

What’s a bad habit you wish you could stop cold turkey? (BTW, Hi Mom! I love you! I’m on Christian Fletcher’s website! ;) ) - Casey Meisher

Dibi: I’m really rather controlled -duh-in what I do, so I’ve tried to eliminate bad habits years ago…and I’ve remained pretty successful with it.

————————————————————————————–

DIBI! I LOVE YOU! DO YOU LIKE CHIPS AND SALSA?! I DO! - MARTIN ZUNIGA

Dibi: I’m more into veggies with salsa, but I do adore hot sauce.

————————————————————————————–

Thank you for this! I get diff perspective I never knew and admit I judged you guys but reading things from Dibi’s perspective even with short replies, it makes me really think of the human level that we are all one and wear our pants one leg at a time! Christian your mom made me rethink a lot of judgments i had about you braddah! Hoooo! - Kai L.

Dibi: That’s very nice, thank you. Everyone’s life is filled with ups and down, but being able to laugh at ourselves so we don’t take things too seriously is really great.

Dibi, your thoughts on Oprah, BP, the recession, scented candles, Nathan’s hairstyle, other traction companies, and the summer weather thus far. - Tom Merrill

Dibi: Who cares, we still need drilling, they’re usually too heavily scented, it seems to suit him, they SUCK, and the last couple of days have been great.

Watching the old vids, reminds me of good times. Whatever happened to good ole Gack? - J.J.

Dibi: He got so old he had to be put down.

You guys always make me laugh and have great stuff to come back to. Astrodeck’s site should have Dside and this question and answer stuff too not just on christians, you guys will get mroe audience maybe? ah fuck it i aint telling you how to do your jobs good work guys! lol. - carlos hueriziga

Dibi: I’m glad you enjoy it. I have fun doing my part.

Great interview with Bruce. That guy is classic. Andy’s was a good one too. When we gonna see your 2nd boy, Mrs. Fletcher on the D-Side? - John Petersen

Dibi: I’m not sure that he’d like to do it; he’s very shy and I respect that.

Speak Up And Be Heard Bitch

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Got myself a camera and gonna start rolling with it. Film, record and interview everyone who crosses my path and ask them what’s up. Should make for interesting commentary on the current state of affairs. What do you guys think? Me asking the mailman about the philosophies of Buddha. Or going to get a burrito and asking the guy behind the counter what the mystery meat is…is that donkey or rat? Doesn’t matter. Everything tastes good with Tapatio. Or asking some ratty grom how the surf was at Creek. You know, stuff like that.

Fuck, I’m a people person when it comes down to it. I dig meeting people from all walks of life. I hope I get some raw, funny, honest and even gnarly coverage. Have you ever been approached by a peg-legged drunken dwarf? I have. And I’m bummed I didn’t have the opportunity to record and save the conversation I had with her. Yeah, her. She was so rad. Drunk and angry but rad nonetheless.

I’ll interview my friends. Chat it up with some pros. In fact, my mom is interviewing Danny Fuller today for a magazine. I’ll do some stuff like that, too. I’ll fucking ask these guys what most people wanna hear but are afraid to ask. It’s such a delicate world we live in, you know.

But I’ll do it in a more casual manner. Just shoot and film candid conversation. It wouldn’t be all fucking journalistic with a bunch of thought-out questions and answers. I ain’t the fucking Journal of New England Medicine with essays and analytical reports. Stuff like that gets stale quick so don’t expect that here. It’s easy to say to expect the unexpected when it comes to anything I’m involved with. Is that too cliche? Fuck you. I don’t care.

I just want to always make things fun and interesting. It’d be a lot more random to go down to Trestles and catch someone off-guard and ask them if they’ve ever given their chick a dirty sanchez than asking them, “Duuuude, how are the waves?”

Yeah.

What’s All This Jibba-Jabba?

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Surfed Salt Creek last week. The waves were pretty decent. Tested out my new Rawson. Got it in a sick bright yellow with some nice graphics on it, too. It wasn’t Bali but it was still pretty fun out there.

And I just had to deal with the biggest headache this morning. Fuck Priceline. Making hotel reservations for the tradeshow in Orlando. It was a nightmare. The customer service guy on the phone was such a fucktard, I felt like slitting my wrists. Tell me, are these online reservations even worth it? I should have dealt directly with my travel agent. I guess that’s what I get for trying to save a few bucks.

Gonna bail Astrodeck headquarters here in a few minutes to go pick up some more swag for the CF online store. Some people have been writing, saying that they can’t find the SHOPPING CART or that they can’t even get to www.christianfletchersurf.com. Now, don’t take this the wrong way…but fuck, how the hell am I supposed to know why it’s doing this? You all should be surprised I even know how to turn the computer on let alone try and figure out all this techie nerd stuff. I guess it’s a problem with the browser you’re using. Or maybe you need to reboot your computer. Or, fuck, I don’t know. Just check back later.

So, yeah, gonna get some more product in for the online store. Slowly but surely, building up more swag. Including a new sandal line. These things are gonna be sick. And I’ll be posting up new pics on here, too. As well as new videos. The super rare shit. Some of this stuff is so funny.

I guess that’s it for now. I’ll write more later. If I fucking feel like it.
