Mullet-power drives dragon boat racers By Joanne Steventon The Ottawa River is drained from winter, but as soon as the water starts flowing again Centretown resident Sarah Reynolds and her dragon boat team the Kentucky Waterfalls will be ready and waiting. Reynolds had her first experience barreling down the Ottawa River in a 44-foot long dragon boat two years ago, when she joined 21 of her fellow Natural Resources Canada employees in the Nortel Networks Ottawa Dragon Boat Race Festival. So she took it upon herself to organize her own team later that summer, consisting of people from her old team along with a number of her friends. They reassembled in the summer of 2003 and they are now known as the Kentucky Waterfalls. Team member Philroy Lopez says the team attributes this success to their devoted captain.

HOME PAGE Hello and welcome! Thank you for visiting the International Dragon Boat Association's (IDBA) website. Founded in 1996, IDBA is a non-profit public benefits 501(c)3 corporation. Our vision is to use dragon boat racing as a vehicle to bring the diverse community together, support and encourage youth, while preserving art, culture and tradition. In the last eight years, the organization's signature event, the annual festival, has been very successful and has positively impact our community, both locally, nationally and internationally. However, this success has come at a price. The festival and its phenomenon growth has consumed all available resources making it difficult to formalize our Youth Program. As a result, we have decided to suspend the festival for this year and make 2004, the year that we will formalize our Youth Dragon Boat Program. To highlight: Our signature dragonboat festival, the California International Dragon Boat Festival, at Jack London Square will be suspended this year in favor of establishing our Youth Dragon Boat Program. The 8th Annual California International Dragon Boat Festival, "Return of the Dragon" will return on August 13-14, 2005. We will be launching our Youth Dragon Boat Program out of Oakland's Park and Recreation Department at Lake Merritt and the Jack London Aquatic Center under its Aquatic Programming.
