It is the season now, July. Not only for tourism but for Balinese people kite season. You can see a lot of kites on air flying everyday. Every July it is annually organized in  Padang Galak, Sanur Beach. Banjars (villages) race for winning competion with their giant kites. Sometimes they put blades on kites and try to rip off other kites. Kites usually made by bamboo and nylon here.  Kites can be sometimes 10- 15 meters long and lot of people carry it.  In fact it is a religious festival more than a kite festival in Balinese Hinduism.
