Mine is about 5 years old with hundreds of miles on it. There is absolutely no lateral movement of the pedals. The wear marks from the mirage drive on the underside of the pedals are the exact width of the rollers on the drive and dead straight, ie, no indication of any lateral movement. It sounds like you have a problem that may be serious, as in, broken pedals or broken, loose, or missing hardware. I would not ride my board in that condition. Or at least have a paddle with you! I would be very unhappy with an "authorized" Hobie dealer who would send you away in that condition with no clue what to do next. If you are not the sort to fix it yourself, try somewhere else!
