Anyone have info or photos of what these look like? The bridle eyelets have moved up a millimeter or so, in its 19 years of use. I came up empty on numerous Internet searches. If I was to guess they are individual cylindrical anchors but short of x-Ray I don't know how to verify this.

Hi Andre,

This is for the new Wave. We replaced the same anchors on the Tornado last year.

Apparently Hobie used some aluminum anchors on early models. The corrosion makes them expand, and pushes the plastic out. They made a strap repair kit for a while but no more. Easy DIY project. Surprisingly hard to find info on this.
