Bernhard Dingwert playful air animals bring great delight to kite festivals around the globe. Beautifully sculpted from fabric, Dingwert is a brilliant designer who blends fun and the natural world in the sky. Alligators and Seals are available in different sizes to fly families of these adorable creatures. When German kite designer Bernhard Dingwerth started kiting in 1984, he was most interested in stunt kites. He didn’t own a sewing machine and had no experience in sewing – but he still managed to hand sew his first single line kite and "was very proud to see it fly". Dingwerth made his first inflatable – a crocodile – in 1994. This was followed by the seal, the grasshopper, the salamander and a whole zoo of different creatures. Dingwerth’s extraordinary kites have won him the German Championship three times, and made him a very popular guest at kite festivals around the world. He’s flown in Malaysia, Thailand, Guam, Singapore, Canada, Borneo, China, Korea, Vietnam, USA, India and many European countries. The kiting family is proud to have Bernhard amongst our passionate sport.
