"I started flying Niviuk wings in early spring of 2006 when I became the west coast importer distributor in the USA and I have witnessed the incredible growth and expansion of this company. I have been blessed to be in on the ground floor, one of the first to bring Niviuk to the USA and the first to offer support to paragliding instructors and dealers, the first to have demos of this new brand, that hardly anyone had even heard about. At first I sold a lot of wings using the "puppy principle." It's like giving a puppy to a kid and saying "Try it for a week, if you like it you can keep it," but with demo paragliders instead of a dog! Now everyone knows that Niviuk is one of the top brands out there across the spectrum, and I'm glad to have played a small role in that growth.
I am a USHPA advanced paragliding instructor and a USHPA tandem instructor. From December to March every year I lead trips to Costa Rica and Nicaragua with my company Paracrane, so I fly 12 months a year. I am one guy who flies all the wings and has experience with all of them (except the Icepeak comp wing), so I'm uniquely qualified to share information about the wings. Am I biased? Of course! But I also try to be honest, sincere and tell it like it is. I created this site to consolidate information, reviews, comments and opinions on the variety of Niviuk Paragliders to supplement the Niviuk website. Niviuk Paragliders continue to impress me, continue to improve and I continue to love flying them. I hope you will too!" Nick Crane
