We are lost our friend at last weekend. His name is Roma Diverichev 28 y.o. Its happened in of an accident on the water. The boat which was going beside our boat was a reason of death. Just want to say for everyone, drivers and riders - guys be careful and attentive all the time on the water. RIP Roma...

Thanks all for support. And dont be a carefree. Remember about safeness everytime. Hey Paul, did you compete in 2005 at WakeBoardWorldCup in Russia? I remember guy with word "MORGS" at the bottom of the board. In the final runs he broken the board. That was you?

No, it wasnt me - it must have been another "Morgs". I did have a mate compete in that comp though, Andy Meyenberg from Switzerland. He won the Masters division...

My thoughts and prayers to Roma's family and friends. It's always so sad to hear about these incidents. How was the boat beside yours involved, if you don't mind saying? Just curious.

It was very simple and very stupid situation. The driver on that boat(it was rockaway boat) with his family just lookout the Romas riding. Than we descry the boat coming from the opposite direction. Our "audience" clap eyes on that boat and driver start to reform under us and reduse the throttle, just straight to rider. Roma tho cant drop the handle. That was doing too fast. Sorry for the lame english.

Boris, I am sorry to hear this. I too had a close call a couple weeks ago with a boat but was lucky enough to come out with just a scare. My prayers are with you and his family & friends.

i am very sorry to hear about your loss. RIP no disrespect to boris but can anyone try to further explain the situation? did an oncoming boat hit Roma? again, i am truly sorry. just like andy said above, knowing the full story will help teach others a lesson and hopefully prevent other accidents like this

u think thats lame? you should hear my spanish... no disrespect just trying to lighten the mood i think Boris said basically that a boat came in the opposite direction a guy out with his family with maybe a rental? boat from "rockaway" was NOT looking out for Roma and angled as they past and hit him as he was riding and they were going too fast for Roma to let go or avoid the collision. which would be a very simple very stupid situation.(because of the guy not watching out and going too fast) is that about right Boris? is it a very busy area? crowded? it sounds terrible. i'm really sorry.

Sounds like a boat was driving next to them watching Roma ride. A boat came from the opposite direction. The boat driving next to them got off the throttle and turned down into Roma to avoid the oncoming boat. That is what I got out of it anyway. Horrible either way. RIP Roma

We were wakeboarding at our usual place, steered by an experienced pilot. The downside of that place is that it isn't wide enough. During Roma's round, a Maxum sailing boat with a family on formed up with us at the starboard. Their boat was at a reasonably safe distance from ours. A few minutes later, a large motorized yacht began moving towards us from the right side. The pilot of the boat moving parallel to us must have been so carried away watching Roma's jumps that he noticed the incoming yacht too late. It was already very close. To avoid the collision with the yacht, he abruptly turned in our direction, reduced his speed not to crash into us and thus ran over Roma. Thanks to Paul Morgan for translation.
