Jester: Niviuk’s first parakite to fly and play with the wind


The Jester is more than just a new wing — it marks Niviuk’s entry into a whole new discipline. Our first parakite brings together all the expertise gained from developing high-performance paragliders and third-party kite wings, in a design made purely for playing with the wind.

Fast, precise and incredibly fun, the Jester offers a truly free flying experience where speed and control meet in perfect balance.
 

Fly like never before. Play like always.


The Jester doesn’t follow any old rules. It’s designed to experience flight as pure play, demanding active, technical and sensitive piloting.

Every slope, every gust of wind and every stretch of sand becomes a playground to explore. Agile, intuitive and stable, it keeps the fun going even in demanding conditions.

Total control of the angle of attack


The heart of the Jester lies in its innovative Parakite System (PKS).

This system connects the brake lines to a set of pulleys that automatically adjust the wing’s angle of attack:

  • Hands up → the wing accelerates, reducing incidence and descending with purpose.
  • Hands down → incidence increases, providing more lift and control.
The result is a fluid, dynamic piloting feel with total control at your fingertips. Whether you’re skimming the dunes, carving lines across the sand or soaring along a windy ridge, the Jester responds with precision and stability.

Manoeuvrability and control in every turn


The Jester is a fast, direct wing with crisp, well-defined turns.

At low speeds it remains predictable and accessible — ideal for progressing with safety and confidence.

Progressive brake pressure gives an intuitive feel and plenty of range for smooth flares and landings, making every flight as controlled as it is enjoyable.

Built to last


Designed to handle demanding environments such as dunes, sandy slopes and frequent ground contact, the Jester uses materials specially chosen for their strength and durability.

It also includes an internal self-cleaning system that channels sand and debris towards the wingtips, where they can easily be expelled through dedicated openings.

Advanced technology, guaranteed fun
 

  • Stable reflex profile: maintains internal pressure and prevents collapses, even at top speed.
  • Integrated DRS: mini-ribs sewn directly into the trailing edge for a cleaner aerodynamic finish.
  • Nitinol rods (TNT): preserve the wing’s shape over time.
  • RAM Air Intake: ensures constant airflow and optimal internal pressure.
  • 3DL & 3DP technologies: maximum precision in shaping and construction.
  • Integrated Niviuk technologies: RAM, TNT, SLE, SMC, 3DL, 3DP, DRS, RSP & PKS.

Who is it for?


The Jester is designed for experienced pilots looking for a new way to enjoy wind and speed.

Perfect for dune soaring sessions, dynamic descents, proximity flying or simply for playful control practice. It’s also ideal for paraglider or speed-wing pilots eager to explore a freer, more playful form of flying.

“ Pilot feedback… 


“In my opinion, Niviuk has absolutely nailed it with the Jester. They’ve once again hit that sweet spot between performance and safety. Launching is smooth and predictable, it comes up easily and stays solid overhead. In the air, handling is precise and impressively agile, with great control that really lets you explore 3D flying. It has a nice dive, and in neutral the glide is excellent, allowing you to soar in both light and strong winds. The stall point is clear and far away, so you can enjoy the full speed range with confidence. An absolute soaring machine! Love it!”
Anton Soeke | Pilot | Germany


“The Jester is the perfect wing for having fun close to the ground! It’s the ideal compromise between a playful parakite and a wing with solid, reliable behavior. It’s fast, precise, and feels safe for its category. The stall point is low, easy to feel, and simple to manage. This gives you smooth control at low speeds and lets you unlock the full potential of the wing’s speed range.”
   Loïs Goutagny | Pilot & Designer | Niviuk R&D Team
    
 
“Having flown most of today’s parakites, I must say the Jester gathers all the best qualities and still manages to improve on them. It’s aimed at pilots who want a solid, responsive, well-balanced wing that’s perfectly suited for soaring and proximity flying — with a unique comfort in handling. Flares during landing are smoother and much easier to execute.”
   Axel Perrier | Pilot & Professional Skydiver | France
