NIVIUK SKATE Speed flying Wing
The Niviuk SKATE speed flying wing is more than a simple evolution of Niviuk’s NOOKY from 2007. This completely new product is the result of the experience acquired with the very successful Nooky. After almost one year of intense work and many prototypes, we now feel that the SKATE will be even more suited to the demands of speed flying pilots and schools.
The SKATE has a new profile, allowing more gliding but less lift. The new design allows the Skate to glide parallel with the ground in all relief. With three risers and a trim system which allows easy and effective adjustments to the angle of attack, the SKATE can be securely set to follow the inclination of the slope, preventing any unwanted take off. This trim system allows also a bigger speed range.

The reactions of the SKATE at high speed or with great weight are progressive and predictable. With the redesigned profile the Skate won’t accumulate an excess of energy so the glider remains controllable and precise.
The SKATE is easy to use (though all speed flying should be done first with professional instruction.) Extremely easy to inflate, the action on the brakes of the Skate is soft and progressive. The precise alignment of the brake lines makes unwanted roll non existent.
Size does matter!
The Skate is available in 4 sizes: from 8 up to 14 m. Size is inversely proportional to adrenaline rush, so the most experienced and demanding riders will go for the smaller sizes. The less experienced riders will take advantage of the wide range of sizes. The result of all this mixture will make the SKATE a new reference in the discipline of speed riding.

The convertible harness/rucksack has been redesigned with the SKATE. The harness has a new look with more volume than the 2007 model, more comfort and is easier to carry. Attachments for skis and pockets for the quick folding bag (included) under the seat make this a joy to carry and to fly.
SKATE SIZES 8, 10, 12 and 14 meters
