Welcome to the Eastern Regional Dragon Boat Association USA.
Within the United States, there are several officially recognized governing bodies for the sport of Dragon Boating. On the National level, there is the United States Dragon Boat Federation (USDBF). On the Regional level, there are three governing bodies. The Pacific Dragon Boat Association (PDBA) represents the West Coast. The American Dragon Boat Association (ADBA) represent the MidWest and the Eastern Regional Dragon Boat Association (ERDBA) represents the Eastern Coast. To our North, DragonBoat Canada (DBC) represent the official governing body for Canada and on the Global level, the officially recognized governing body is the International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF).
ERDBA
is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, whose primary purpose
is to promote the sport of dragon boating and foster national
and international dragon boat competition.
Since our incorporation in June 2003, our membership has grown substantially as we have attracted both member clubs and festivals. Our executive officers and committees are working diligently to improved the sport. They work closely with the USDBF in order to provide the most up to date information and benefits for our members. In addition, the ERDBA has discount programs with manufacturers to help reduce the overall cost of dragon boating for our members. If you are a United States paddle club or event
organizer in the Eastern Time Zone, please contact
us or review the membership
application for the benefits of joining ERDBA.
