United States Dragon Boat Federation

The USDBF is the governing body for the sport of dragon boat in the United States, and a founding member of the International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF). The mission of the USDBF is to promote the growth and development of dragon boat in the US for fitness, recreation, and team-building at all levels of competition.

The United States Dragon Boat Federation (USDBF) is launching its inaugural strategic planning process to determine the direction and priorities of the organization for the next two to five years. You are invited to participate in a short survey that will provide data to guide our discussions and decisions. We are looking for input from paddlers from all levels of the dragon boat community.  Please take a few minutes to respond and help with this important effort. USDBF Community Survey – Fill out form   Please note the survey will close on August 10, 2026.
