Tanah Lot International Kite Festival: Bali
On the back of the upcoming Bali Festival of Kites to be held at Padang Galak beach in Sanur comes yet another kite festival but this time to be held at the sacred sea temple of Tanah Lot.
I love these festivals and it makes for a great day out because more often than not there is always the associated food stalls and related entertainment at hand. No need to pack a lunch for this festival or the one at Sanur!.
As of July 5th more than 15 countries have registered their interest in participating in the Tanah Lot International Kite Festival set to be held August 11-14, 2006 according to Bali Discovery.
Following less than one month after the Bali Festival of Kites to be held near Sanur Beach at Padang Galak Beach July 20-23, 2006, the Tanah Lot kite flying competition will take place in conjunction with a variety of traditional games and contests including Sunari, Pindekan and Petakut.
International Competition
Local participation will be limited to 40 comprising selected Balinese teams, kite flying contingents from 9 other Indonesian provinces, and the 10 top-rated teams from the Padang Galak event. Meanwhile foreign teams of kite flyers are expected at Tanah Lot from Germany, U.K., Thailand, China, South Korea, Malaysia, Sweden, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, India, U.S.A. and Australia. Final confirmation of participation is still pending for teams from Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand and the Netherlands.

A year ago I invited some friends to go to the Barra da Tijuca beach(Brazil) on night and making kite combat, the other Saturday do again and the other. What happened? Currently 2000 peoples participate this kite combat all Saturday night, we are surprised.
My only job is kite see http://www.maxpipas.com.br but I don’t receive much money, because I make many work for free, in 1996 I was invited to participate at the International kite festival in Dieppe France, there I make kiteworkshops, kitecombat and fly brazilians kite, it was wonderful.
