The IDBF had its 30th anniversary in November 2021. Due to the ongoing Corona pandemic there was no other choice than celebrating the birthday in a virtual Zoom-Event. The recording of the nice 1 hour celebration can be seen on facebook:

It is definitely worth watching it with great speeches and memories not only provided by Bob Wilson, the first president of the IDBF, Mike Haslam as founder and honorary president as well as Mike Thomas, the current president.
At the end Mike Thomas gives also an outlook to the tasks ahead the IDBF will have to work on to further develop the dragon boat sport.
In a personal note I’d like to give my late congratulations to the IDBF with all the fine people in it. Being from the media and having followed the IDBF’s long journey for quite some time, I think one of the important steps for the IDBF was to become a full member of GAISF. As a birthday present please watch the only existing video about this moment – CLICK HERE!
Yours, Henning
