Fly like never before – The Niviuk Jester Parakite
Perfect for dune soaring, windy slopes, and technically demanding flying. The Jester is not a beginner's wing. It requires active handling. In return, it rewards you with an intense, technical experience that is addictive. Built from robust materials that can easily withstand sand, wind, and ground contact.
Technical highlights
✅ Parakite System (PKS): Intuitive altitude control through angle of attack adjustment via the risers
✅ Extremely maneuverable: Fast, precise turns and progressive brake pressure for safe landings
✅ Indestructible construction: Robust materials for years of use on rough terrain
✅ Reflex profile: Stabilizes automatically, extremely resistant to flapping
✅ Nitinol rods: Dimensionally stable, durable wing thanks to memory titanium alloy

FLY LIKE NEVER BEFORE, PLAY LIKE ALWAYS
The Jester is our first parakite. Designed utilising on our experience with paragliders and developing kite wings for third parties, it offers a radically fun flying experience. It combines speed, agility and control for dynamic descents and proximity flying.
Fast, precise and playful. Piloting through the risers allows you to automatically adjust the wing's angle of attack, keeping it stable even at top speed. The Jester invites you to discover a new way to play with the wind.
- Unlimited flar
- Maximum fun
- Total control
Target
Parakite
The Jester breaks all the old rules: it is a parakite designed to experience playful flying, but requiring an active piloting attitude. An immersive, technical and incredibly fun experience. Fly close to the ground, adjusting your altitude precisely, but always in full control.
Soaring
Perfect for soaring sessions on dunes, in strong (yet smooth) winds, dynamic descents near the terrain or proximity flights.
Leisure
Above all, the Jester is a true toy. Designed purely for fun, it turns any windy slope into your personal amusement park.
Features
Total control of the angle of attack
The risers let you adjust the angle of attack: by raising your hands, the wing accelerates and releases brake pressure simultaneously, pitching forward decisively. This turns piloting into a dynamic and fluid experience.
Whether you want to fly close to a slope, make a steep descent or indulge in coastal soaring in strong winds – the Jester offers full control.
Agility
The Jester is a very fast wing with agile, responsive handling and sharp, precise turns.
At low speeds, it stands out for its accessible and predictable behaviour. The progressive, intuitive brake pressure provides the ideal safety margin for flaring and smooth landings.
Durability above all
Built to handle rough terrain like windy slopes, sand and repeated contact with the ground, the materials used guarantee strength, resulting in a durable and reliable wing.
Glide ratio
While it is designed more for descending than for gliding, in the neutral brake position it still offers some lift, making it easier to maintain control and glide.
Niviuk Technologies
- Parakite System Technology: With the Jester, we use the new Parakite System (PKS) for the risers, which connects the brakes to a pulley system that lets you adjust the angle of attack.
When you raise your hands, the wing accelerates pitchingforward and loses altitude.
When you lower them, gradually slows it down by increasing the angle of attack, causing it to gain altitude. At the neutral point, the wing reaches its maximum glide performance. - Stable profile: The reflex profile curvature tends to stabilise automatically, making the Jester extremely collapse resistant.
- Automatic cleaning To prevent sand or debris from building up inside, the Jester features an internal system that channels particles towards the wingtips, where they exit through dedicated slots. This longitudinal channel runs along the entire trailing edge, keeping the inside of the wing clean at all times.
- Integrated DRS: The mini-ribs are sewn directly to the trailing edge, resulting in a cleaner profile with no external seams and protecting the fabric from wear and tear when in contact with the ground.
- Nitinol rods: Nitinol rods in the leading edge and mid-rear part of the profile help the wing keep its shape perfectly over time.
- Impeccable finish: Thanks to 3DL and 3DP technologies, the wing’s shaping is highly precise. The accuracy in cutting and sewing the wing results in a much cleaner finish, reducing creases and lessening aerodynamic drag.
- Optimal internal pressure: The RAM Air Intake system channels air to keep internal pressure stable across the entire speed range, preventing pressure loss and profile deformation.
