WELCOME

We wish to welcome you to our team and thank you for the confidence 
that you have placed in a NIVIUK Glider.

We would like to share with you the commitment, the passion and 
emotions of the Niviuk design team, which have resulted in the creation of 
the new DOBERMANN. Niviuk are very proud of this new glider, a glider 
carefully designed to bring you maximum pleasure whilst allowing you 
learn and progress.

The DOBERMANN is a gratifying wing to be enjoyed in freestyle and 
slalom activities. With its friendly flying behavior and various sizes 
availability, it meets the needs of pilots who enjoy racing, participate in 
slaloms circuits, speed and air games.  

We are confident that you will enjoy flying this wing and that you will soon 
understand the meaning of our slogan: “The importance of small details”

This is the user’s manual that we recommend you to read in detail.

USER’S MANUAL

NIVIUK Gliders DOBERMANN

This manual offers all the necessary information that will familiarize you 
with the main characteristics of your new paraglider. Although this manual 
informs you about your glider, it does not offer the instruction requirements 
necessary for you to be able to pilot this type of wing. Flying instruction 
can only be taught at a paragliding school recognized by the Flying 
Federation of your country.

Nevertheless we remind you that it is important that you carefully read all 
the contents of the manual for your new DOBERMANN.

Severe injuries to the pilot can be the consequence of the misuse of this 
equipment.
