hey guys,
some salt water got inside my LE bladder yesterday, just wondering if this has any long term bad effects to the bladders?
cheers, mick

add helium to compensate for the extra weight.

Drain it out next time you set up it'll take like an extra 5 mins.

Get it out. I had water in my LE one session and the kite was jellfishing like CRAZY and after a kiteloop crash the kite crashed and the extra weight/tension made the cannopy rip from end to end..

Drain it out asap:)
