When the pilot raises their hands, the glider accelerates and sinks more rapidly. When the pilot lowers their hands, the angle of attack increases, causing the glider to slow down and generate more lift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003eIs the Niviuk Jester suitable for beginners?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Jester is not a traditional beginner paraglider. It is designed for experienced pilots with appropriate training and knowledge of parakiting. Even experienced paragliders should familiarize themselves with the special control technique before their first flight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003eWhat sizes is the Niviuk Jester available in?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Jester is available in five sizes: 14, 16, 18, 21, and 24 m². The appropriate size depends, among other factors, on the pilot’s weight, experience, wind conditions, and intended use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003eIs the Niviuk Jester EN-certified?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eYes. The Jester has structural certification according to EN 926-1. This is not the same as an EN-A, EN-B, EN-C, or EN-D flight performance classification.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003eFor which flying conditions was the Jester designed?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Niviuk Jester was developed for dynamic soaring on suitable slopes, dunes, and coastal areas.

While classic paragliders are controlled primarily via the brakes, the Jester also allows for direct adjustment of the angle of attack. This enables particularly dynamic control over speed, lift, and flight path.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niviuk","offers":[{"title":"Belo \/ 14","offer_id":53984920273162,"sku":"1006275","price":2729.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Belo \/ 16","offer_id":53984920305930,"sku":"1006276","price":2820.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Belo \/ 18","offer_id":53984920338698,"sku":"1006277","price":2860.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Belo \/ 21","offer_id":53984920371466,"sku":"1006278","price":2905.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Belo \/ 24","offer_id":53984920404234,"sku":"1006279","price":2945.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pazific \/ 14","offer_id":53984920469770,"sku":"1006280","price":2729.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pazific \/ 16","offer_id":53984920502538,"sku":"1006281","price":2820.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pazific \/ 18","offer_id":53984920535306,"sku":"1006282","price":2860.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pazific \/ 21","offer_id":53984920568074,"sku":"1006283","price":2905.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pazific \/ 24","offer_id":53984920600842,"sku":"1006284","price":2945.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brick \/ 14","offer_id":53985079066890,"sku":"1006285","price":2729.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brick \/ 16","offer_id":53985079099658,"sku":"1006286","price":2820.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brick \/ 18","offer_id":53985079132426,"sku":"1006288","price":2905.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brick \/ 21","offer_id":53985079165194,"sku":"1006287","price":2860.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brick \/ 24","offer_id":53985079197962,"sku":"1006289","price":2945.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/7850\/8810\/files\/niviuk-jester-parakite-belo_1.png?v=1793031102","url":"https:\/\/paragliding24.ch\/en\/products\/niviuk-jester-parakite","provider":"Paragliding24.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
