I have only had mine 2 years and have not heard of that problem, but...looking at where it broke, the hole for the pin stands a good chance of not getting rinsed out well with fresh water after use. That, and the fact that it is a stress point while you are pedalling makes it susceptible to breakage. Is there corrosion on the inside of the hole? I am going to start spraying mine with WD-40, and hopefully that won't happen to mine. Thanks for posting. I'm curious to see if it is a common problem that we need to address to Hobie.
