IM CHACING A NEW LEADING EDGE BLADDER FOR MY 2011 9M BLADE TRIGGER. ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET ONE FROM? IM IN EXMOUTH, WA.
Forget the super stretch type bladders ,have found over the years there no better than the standard type.
just buy to length and fit new valves or 
contact your brand supplier and buy genuine replacement like we all do.
Is it a total write off? If not we may be able to fix it at Exmouth kite centre. Otherwise the shop in town have spares, give them a call.
Are the bladders for the 2010 & 2011 models the same? I'm not sure what year mine is, but definetly one of the two.
Pretty sure its just the valve. I replaced it but didn't do a very good job. Can it be replaced again?

Yes, but peel it off carefully over steam or hot water, not boiling. Reglue after cleaning any excess glue.
In terms of bladders, Dr Tuba or Tuff Bladders are the best. I get mine from kitepower.com.au.

Any part of a bladder is fixable.

Not true, 90% of bladders are fixable.
If you have a leaking valve remove and refit a new one, don't use glue, when it fails (and it will) it will take you longer to clean and remove the residue, use the self stick valves and replace.
The 10% that are not fixable are when the damage is closer than 1 cm to the seam, you cannot overlap a patch over a seam and get it to hold air, no mater how big the patch is!! Pony up buy a new bladder!

That may be true to those that don't persist, but I've repaired rips and tears on bladders longer than 10 inches, including the seam sections.
Hint: layer upon layer, upon layer.. ya!
