HOOK 4 P

Adventurous progress

WELCOME

We want to welcome you to our team and thank you for your confidence in 
our glider product line.

We would like to share the Niviuk R&D team’s commitment, passion 
and emotions, which resulted in the creation of the new HOOK 4 P. Our 
company is proud of this new carefully designed glider, bringing maximum 
pleasure during a pilot’s progression.

Versatile and multifunctional, in a lightweight version. Designed for those 
with an adventurous nature, who want to decide when, how and where 
they want to progress. You are free to choose your starting point and 
progression route.

We are confident that you will enjoy flying this wing and will soon 
understand the meaning of our motto: ‘The importance of small details’.

This is the user manual. We recommend you read it before your first flight 
with the wing.

The 

NIVIUK

 Team.
