Happy Birthday 27th Birthday IJSBA

February 24,2009

The IJSBA was founded February 24, 1982. IJSBA will celebrate or 28th annual World Finals this October.

While the company (USJSBA) that became the IJSBA existed prior to 1982, we became an official international organization on this date using the acronym we are still recognized by today.
IJSBA was called International Jet Ski Boating Association until 1993 when the S was changed to “Sports” to reflect its multi-brand make up.

Managing Directors Note- I had to dig out the seal today and use it on an official document and noticed the founding day was today.

The seal hadn’t been used in years and I thought it was pretty coincidental that it was used on today, of all days.
