ALL LIES!!!!
Everyone knows Dimitri has a special time device in his home, which gives him the ability to have 62 hour days instead of just 24. Which gives him the time to do EVERYTHING on his own.
First he comes up with prototype kites, then the magic dogs sew the kites together and then he goes out for a test run. Cuts them to pieces resews them until they perfect. Then he comes up with the graphic design like the picasso he is. Gets a brush and starts drawing and drawing until his hands bleed.
Then the production starts in his shed. He is strictly monitored by his hounds of Hell, Zeus and Athena and they will bite him in the ass if he slows down production to much.
After all the kites are done he goes out on kiteforum and lays down his lines of rhymes like a rapper thats overflowing of creativity. If everyone only knew what a man Dimitri is. Dare i say it.... Supergreek!
And with all that he still finds time to dress up like a proper lady!
@ Lisaped i hope this awnser is satisfying you.....
Momi is the Shapedesigner of Epic
I am the graphic Designer of Epic.
Dimitri steers everything and is involved in everything. Many people dont seem to realize how much efford and time he spends on all this. Usually he starts around 06:00 in the morning with awnsering e-mails then during the day he does all the other things involved with having a company. And many many days he is still working at 24:00/01:00 at night awnsering e-mails again.
So yeah he is involved in everything Epic does but he sure has his people doing much stuff for him. And i'm pretty sure he couldnt do all this without the help of his Wife Helen. Who does an amazing amount of work behind the screens aswell.
Eclipse is something of the past. I know some people blame Dimitri for that but thats not true. Dimitri was the face of Eclipse but not the boss. That was someone else who called all the shots. Dimitri was fed the same lies as everyone else until the point Dimitri realized what was going on and he left Eclipse.
Dimitri asked Momi back (who was replaced that year in eclipse) because Dimitri simply loves the kites Momi comes up with. He also asked me to come with him to epic and help create epic which i did. well basicly a known story by now. Creative wise Epic and Eclipse have much in common. But businesswise the companys couldnt be further apart. Epic is run by the Maramenides family and much more personal. And that is one of the reasons why you see Dimitri on this forum. Personal contact. And i believe that is one of the strengths of Epic kiteboarding. Its personal and allows you as a costumer to get in contact with Dimitri himself.
As for other company bigshots doing it all or not.
Well Pete Cabrinha is a graphic designer aswell Not sure if he still does that for the company but i wouldnt be suprised if he still does a few things.
Now. over here its the 2nd day of X-mas. falala la lala la laaaa.
Everyone Merry X-mas!
