What Youth: Christian Fletcher - Fairly Normal

[@gregwebster8784]

The whole family is classic. His dad sponsored me for years with no exposure, and Christian always acts like a long lost friend, but probably can't even remember where he knows me from. Thanks for the fun video!

[@throttletherapy273]

I come back to this video over and over again, really glad you guys did this.

[@alva8818]

Eu também!

[@Surfmus]

10:22 there is no future, we live in a constant present. No regrets, move forward is what I tell people.

[@thomasrainbow]

There is only the eternal Now. Past = depression. Future = anxiety. Now = Life

[@delmanglar]

There's a lot of future.

[@christopherbarnett9414]

"Had more fun then most people have in ten lifetimes, for sure."

[@wessmithp5560]

2019 and I still remember jaw dropping photos and stories of this guy and family inspiring me to surf and push the edge a bit.

[@anarchyzed1591]

One of my favorite surfers. Dude is like the Duane Peters of surfing. You would think with as much as he smokes that marlboro would have sponsored him. haha!

[@DiamorphineDeath]

I was thinking the same thing watching it, him and Duane probably are buds. They’ve got real similar tastes.

[@chrishendricks1160]

Duane is crazy these days..off his rocker..watch his latest youtube videos and ull understand..hes all kind of paranoid and talks about other skaters like trash...skaters that are legends..I think he is hitting the ice pipe too much, he looks and acts like a tweeker now..but Christian is still Christian..solid guy.

[@BurninatorTheTrogdor]

Yeah him and Duane for sure. I've met Duane but never Christian. Seems like a real human.

[@TheArts19]

Raddest footage I've ever seen of him. Respect from San Diego Underground.

[@spiritherrington1490]

Probably my favorite surfer of all time, forsure. Also my mom use to date Herbie back in the day before Christian and Nate were born.

[@westleyhall4807]

I love how at around 2:14 the song shifted to the wave, perfect editing 🔨

[@nalveyna]

I've heard that the Fletchers are gnarly...f this dude goes so fast on that bike weaving thru looks fun he reminds me of Duane P just full punk rock

[@winsomelosenone]

The guy front blunted a wave.

[@MycoMatty]

Lol he was the first guy to do that kinda shit too and catch massive airs and keep riding.

[@gulfstatesroofing3451]

this guys lived the life his way! rad hardcore one of the best sufers ever! respect.

[@thomasrainbow]

Some pretty photography and cool vignette of Christian but wish this went into more about the guy. Always been an gnarly dude and would see him sometimes in Newport. Those original aerials were not only gnarly back then but only he could make them look like that. Lives by his rules. True OG.

[@thomasrainbow]

I just watched Billabong Occy and Ripride with Andy Roy podcasts - Check em out

[@tsee9013]

what kind of speed you wana talk bout it.? Fletcher is probably one of the most hardcore surfers ever. All types of waves the heavier the better.Surfed with him in late 80s at Mystos. mellow guy

[@cristobilllumberg2473]

what blows my mind is how Christian can still surf in bali when he pretty much chain smokes. How do you handle a good sized swell with your lungs all blasted

[@paulunderpressure4445]

Radder than most, i couldnt do it

[@anarchyzed1591]

i'm 31 and feeling it... I remember growing up watching comps and he would throw his marlboro down as he took off into the water. just chainsmoking waiting on his heat.

[@delmanglar]

He would be more consistent if he didn't smoke. Drugs have done him some damage too

[@lifeguard92646]

How he makes it through customs in Bali is also amazing

[@alva8818]

​@@lifeguard92646🤣😅

[@salty2667]

I dig his philosophies different angle but it’s true

[@amwinters]

Sons of Herbie... Only the likes of Christian n Nate could've survived being Herbies sons.

[@travisprince2706]

Christian was the inspiration for progressive surfing in the late 80's, He was a hero of mine back then and it is sad to see what he is doing now. Aside from his Trestles win, he could have gone further.

[@angebomb]

+Travis Prince he's having fun doing what he loves. not that sad

[@heathm511]

sad for you. Not for him.

[@maguilla]

Fletcher is and always will be the #1 🤟

[@im_Phaedrus]

what is and what could have been has always been the question with Fletcher, Beschen, Andino, etc. Living in San Clemente, So Cal for that matter, was a handful in the 80's and 90's. Easy living led to some good times, but it got excessive. Those who were there know!

[@johnsheetz6639]

I still remember the first time I saw Christian Fletcher surf. Awesome style looked like he was beating the s*** out of the wave. Way more aggressive.

[@paulunderpressure4445]

Raddest dude

[@eduardoroman3832]

The only RADICAL SURFER TO KNOW 😜🤑💪🤙👍👊🏄‍♂️🎸

[@chinabread8980]

Steve-O's big brother

[@maxdrewe9149]

Was he mates with jay Adams

[@juicycreamylove]

Punk rock royalty

[@lukeedwards9068]

He was and is more METAL

[@dimebag32080]

LEGEND!!!

[@Jkur2009]

I was a big fan of CF when I was a kid back in the late 80’s but i felt like he sorted wasted his talent on partying all the time or something.

[@Mental707]

is this greyson's dad?

[@escapetheghost]

yeah

[@SuperAmin1950]

That was some eye-opening Christian. I'm pretty awake, now!

[@shaneholstein9881]

Christian....its Brent's dad posting......I knew of your dad Herbie. Thanks for the "pool" lesson last week. Maybe we'll do it again sometime. PEACE

[@goddamaddog]

pretty cool

[@LordFlashheart1]

True legend

[@delmanglar]

So much talent... imagine him with a clearer mind, far away from drugs. It's actually pretty sad knowing how he limits himself

[@delmanglar]

I think indirectly, the video makers are not helping him get out of that negativity in his life.

[@delmanglar]

"Obey your master"... vanity

[@Prettynoise]

Innovative surfer for sure but the selfish fun over everything else is a bummer. What he could’ve done with his creative mind would’ve been amazing. True leaders are those fixing this fucked up world. But what the fuck , reckless living sells to the youth.

[@sic81]

Yamaha Rx king 135 the legend never die

[@richardduncan709]

those wedge barrels look so scary

[@711amiinheaven]

BREAKING: CF flys above water!

[@jimdor8353]

[@Geoffcwest]

[@Mazzodude]

Geoff Coombs I didnt hear any music playing at 4.40 are you sure you have the time right I would like to help out.

[@jockrobertson9731]

if you're talking about the live show at about 3.45 in, then it's 'master of puppets' by metallica

[@MJDGator]

hmmm...8:40 is Blood for Blood - Ain't Like You

[@tomitube777xx]

LIVE LONG!!! GURU!!!!!

[@aaragon8876]

Perfect example of why too much drugs are bad kids...

[@kt-tu6jl]

Alex Aragon disagree Fletcher rip

[@waltergreene1996]

Your right you might end up happy and successful and have a chance to inspire thousands and surf every day

[@markburton8653]

Lol

[@kt-tu6jl]

Fletcher rips!!!

[@Dd1234g]

song at 8:40?

[@greglucero8714]

blood for blood "aint like you"...... its my shit!

[@punkster023]

Saw him in a Carl's Jr. at Big Bear a few seasons ago. The guy is way too gnarly looking to be approached. 'Oh my god Christian, I fuckin loved Wave Warrior and Run 69. You are like totally the godfather of progressive aerial surfing.' CF: 'If you don't back the fuck away from me in the next 2 seconds, I'm gonna headbutt the shit out of you.'

[@thebarrochannel]

really happened like that?

[@punkster023]

Haha no. Just a hypothetical conversation.

[@thebarrochannel]

Tim McKee Oh, ok. Cause I dont think that dude is anything like that.

[@jacobfox9686]

How good is that air @ 9:42

[@Weitzmanphoto]

use neck mic

[@jameslaspesa6834]

Aww man,, he paints his finger nails.... wtf fletcher. .

[@FrozenSurf]

[@johnh4143]

Dane breakage. Like me

[@TheLurker_666]

Family tree

[@jahkgdm]

Supersuck at 2:00 is the best wave I've ever ridden. Good luck not hitting the reef. Look how below sea level it is🤕

[@heathm511]

another kook throwing names around. No one gives a fuck if you been there kook and don't say the names of waves just to try get attention.

[@motoz30]

@@heathm511 supersuck is hardly a secret (there's been a surfline cam on it for years.) negative, clueless, dipshits like yourself are the real kooks of surfing.

[@jimdor8353]

[@cooperfranco]

Why?

[@jimdor8353]

[@cooperfranco]

Jim Dor Yeah, fair enough.

[@jimdor8353]
