Must watch: Herbie Fletcher side-slipping at Pipeline on a 9’6″
Herbie is the patriarch of the Fletcher clan, which includes wife Dibi, sons Christian and Nathan, and grandson Greyson. This you likely already now, as well as their legacy, Astrodeck, one of surfing’s most core brands (still!). But you might not know the story of young Herbie, and just how much influence he had on surf culture through his life. The Thrill is Back travels deep into Herbie’s cinematic vault – the series, produced by Herbie himself, is a reminder of a very different time in surfing. The first episode features amazing footage of Herbie’s first trip to Hawaii (side-slipping at Pipeline on a 9’6″!), the Wave Warriors era and more. This is sunshine in the rearview mirror at its finest.
