I think that I may have a small amount of water in the leading edge bladder of my Dos.

Was out on my first half decent session for the season and just getting the technique down for boosting and did the good old "one more and I'm goin in..." and of course boosted more than I was ready for and bought it... Hard... So after catching my breath I relaunched only to see that the LE had deflatted. After the initial "oh *&@%" I realised that the force of the kite hitting the water had popped out my deflate.

I dont think that much water got in (inflated it at home and rotated around so that if there was any noticable water it would run to one tip and couldnt notice any - but can feel the moisture when deflating), but what needs to be done to ensure that I maintain the integrity of the bladder? Or am I making a big deal about nothing?
