Got a leak around the leash plug and took in a bit of water. Is the board ruined or can the water be let out and the board resealed? What are the long term consequences? Is the moisture left inside going to turn to vapor and the board swell up? Any opinions appreciated. Martin

I would remove the leash cup, and install a glass rope loop. I would cut out glass and foam in a circle around the old cup until I couldnt feel any moisture. I’d feather the glass edge, then I’d set the board in a warm dry breeze for a few days. Then I’d replace the foam and glass. Install the glass loop on the stringer, and flare the glass-rope ends onto the deck for strength.
