There is a festival in India where even celebrities indulge in this sport There are also competitions and prizes.
One has to be very careful while handling the string of the kite as it is very sharp and can hurt one.
We as kids used to have fun but the string was ordinary and we could hardly raise it beyond a few feet. It entertaining all the same. We would make our own kites as well.
Does this sport exist where you live? Have you flown a kite?

Kite festival is one of the favorite festivals for kids.
Me and my brothers use to fly them every year ...infact we use to make kite by ourselves using newspapers or cardboard and keep flying them all day..

@allknowing Oh, no. It’s very popular, but not considered a sport.
