Try unhooking brake cables at the levers + spraying wd40 inside the cable, use lots. Works for me.

Unhook the cables at the drums and see if it is the cable, or in the drum itself. Cable is easy, if it is in the drum, you have some work ahead of you. Make sure you have good seals on those drums, by looking at your pics you like to run in the water, and that will rust the hell out of the springs in the drum if the seals are bad.
