Be it running the show at Astrodeck, noodling around in his art studio, or letting his fins drift in the water, Herbie Fletcher certainly has no problem expressing himself. Father of freethinking Christian and Nathan, Herbie's been in the game for a long time, so when Matt Wybenga asked if we'd be interested in posting a little video interview with the man himself we figured at the very least it would be entertaining. After all, as anybody that's ever been relegated to packing boxes at Astrodeck knows, Herbie's always got something to say. In this case Wybenga posed the simple question, "What makes surfers from San Clemente so successful?" True to form, Herbie's response was, ummm, thorough...and hardly short on enthusiasm.
