8 questions for Markos
1: If your kiteboarding style were a music genre, what would it be, and why?
"Greek trap; it’s aggressive, insane, straight from the source telling real stories with passion and style - just how I kite - greek flavor."
2: What’s the most bizarre thought you’ve had while kiting?
"How close to Saudi Arabia could I get from Egypt without getting stopped by the police? Answer… pretty close 😂 but I didn’t have my passport with me… oops. Every session I have crazy ideas, and normally I go through with it."
3: If kiteboarding were banned and you had to join a secret underground kite cult, what would your kite name and initiation rite be?
"You know they already call me The Gun. I’d cross a sea FULL of hungry sharks throwing insane board offs… I better not loose the board."
4: If your kite suddenly became sentient mid-session and started talking to you, what would it say, and would you listen?
"Me and the kite are like a hive mind, connected and speaking to each other as soon as the lines connect. We both want to go where no one else dares."
5: You’re stuck in a kite loop that never ends. What thoughts cycle through your mind for eternity?
“That's the dream right? A kiteloop that never ends. I wanna live in that moment forever. But honestly … Thoughts cycling forever…
Is my GoPro recording?”
6: You meet your future self 50 years from now, still kiteboarding, but mutated from too much sun and salt. What advice does this salt wizard version of you give?
"He stands there, half man half sea creature, and says:
The moments you feared most…
became the moments they wrote about… and wear SPF."
7: Describe your ultimate kiteboarding session using only smells, emotions, and animal noises.
"Smells like sea + sunburnt chaos.
Feels like fear turning into flight.
Sounds like wind howling…
and a wild animal discovering it can fly."
8: Where do you go when you close your eyes?
"When I close my eyes I’m going to crazy never been before places, doing crazy stunts that have never been attempted. I want my kite to fly where no kite has ever flown, I want to leave my mark on this earth and make my dreams my reality."
