Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Masque, Thanks.

You'll find that the phonetic IS the english version. Russians haven't bothered to invent a word for it, they just spelled it in cyrillic.

Masque,
You know that the ruskies had a fun little civil service called SMERSH? (Short for Smert Spionam", or "Death to spies" in English). Some chums thought it might be ironically amusing to get some "Smert Snowboarders" hats made.
Obvious really when you think about it...

Not that I don't trust poma, but I stuck СНОУБОРДЕР into my trusty online russian translation service, and it suggested the english might be...
Без перевода.
Hmmm...

David Murdoch, maybe not correct but I still like my made up сноубордик/чица. Has a certain resonance.
um ... why do you want to know?

poma, СНОУБОРДЕР seemed to go through translation just fine, thanks. Reason for request above.

Per a russian colleague (in Moscow):
"The simple word for snowboard is "доска" (doska). If you mean a man - I don't know the russian word. Usually it is from snowboard - "сноубордист" (snowbordist)."
