In 1988, Christian first appeared on the cover of Surfer magazine, boosting an aerial on what the magazine billed as the "Anti-Standard Issue." At the time, Fletcher and his airborne antics seemed decidedly bizarre; any photo depicting a surfer not connected to wave face still drew quizzical looks. The next year, Fletcher's flying mug appeared simultaneously on both Surfer and Surfing, establishing him as a one-man lobby of change. The media blitz set off a backlash by more conventional surfers, including a petition signed by nearly the entire ASP Top 16 questioning the magazines' integrity in ignoring the traveling pros in favor of "a guy who spent his summer at Trestles." (from Cristian Fletcher website)


This video shows the reason why they didn't want him at the cover. He had the angry approach of those who don't surrender to the establishment.

Ladies and gentlemen, Cristian Fletcher reinventig surf in late 80's
