Jester: FLY LIKE NEVER BEFORE, PLAY LIKE ALWAYS
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.
In detail
Total control of the angle of attack
The risers allow you to adjust the angle of attack: by raising your hands, the wing accelerates and releases brake pressure simultaneously, pitching forward decisively. This transforms piloting into a dynamic and fluid experience.
Whether you want to fly close to a slope, make a steep descent, or enjoy coastal soaring in strong winds, the Jester offers complete 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 an excellent safety margin for flaring and smooth landings.
Durability above all
Built to withstand tough conditions such as windy slopes, sand, and repeated ground contact, the Jester is made from materials chosen for their strength and resilience — ensuring a durable, reliable wing.
Glide ratio
Although designed primarily for descending rather than gliding, the Jester still offers some lift in the neutral brake position, making it easier to maintain control and extend your glide when needed.
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 pitching forward 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.
