NAME: Dimitri Maramenides
DATE OF BIRTH: Old enough to be your dad
PLACE OF BIRTH: Athens, Greece.
PLACES VISITED: Name it
HOBBIES: Spending time with the kids / Martial arts / Tennis / Soccer / Surfing / Snowboarding / Basketball / Skateboarding.
JOB: Professional Kiteboarder , founder and owner of EPIC kites. Yes, I still kite a lot.
BEST KITE: For free ride and big jumps I love all the Screamers but if I had to take 4 kites as a quiver when I travel these will be the ones: Screamer 10 “Limited Edition”, Screamer 12, Screamer 14 and the Renegade 6 for the waves.
BEST BOARD: 5'11" Reef Surf board and 129x39 Spartan
LOCATION YOU LIKE TO RIDE: Every place I kite has something special about it, but Greece, Barbados, The North Shore in Oahu and the Outer Banks are one of my favorites.
MUSIC YOU LIKE TO LISTEN: Every thing except Heavy Metal. I love classical when it is time to relax and concentrate on doing R&D.
WHEN YOU ARE NOT TRAVELING WHAT DO YOU DO?: Good question!!! I am always working. So when I am not in the water testing or doing photo shoot or having fun, I am back at the office answering emails and designing something new. But I also love spending time with my wife and making time to play with the kids . I also spend a lot of time training my son Cameron in learning different kite boarding moves, and making sure he doesn’t hurt himself. And sometimes I take ballet classes with my daughter Olivia.
WHY DID YOU START A KITE COMPANY?: ?: Well because kiteboarding is my passion and wanted to share this with the entire world. The best way to do that was to start your own kite company. So here we are. I am also working with MAELSTORM to bring you one of the best kite accessories on the market.
