Raider was bought out by Dart (Doug Holliday & co) in the very late eighties (thereabouts - maybe very early nineties??). They introduced some different shapes after that with tremendous V bottoms and generous thickness for their size.
A strong team was assembled with great Australian results. Reece Duncan Jr, Craig, Lee and a young Dave Dinning (all brothers) were a strong force to contend with at any comp - back in the day where a State round (1 of 8 for the year) would have around 50-60 competitors. I think Stuart Lawson rode for them for a while during this stage (who didn't he ride for Razz ).
After a few years the wave ski market began it's downward slide and for one reason or another the Raider/Dart Team dissolved.
I'm a bit sketchy on the details of the Raider/Dart business after that, I do know that another company was given the chance to take it over but declined.
