The good news: Sailed for two hours today and only missed one gybe. 
The bad news: Sailed for two hours today without doing up my bung. Water coming out in drips when I suck on the hole.

Take out bung..put a whick ( lamp wick is good ) or paper towel..something absorbent in the hole. Put board upside down in hot shed you can have it on saw horses or a couple of buckets - one each end.Replace wick every now & then with a dry one.Keep doing until whick is dry. Keep at is for days or even a week if you can.
Make a cardboard sign ( vent plug!!) to place inside the board bag so it drops out as you take board out 
or get into the habit of doing the vent up when you put the fin in..
Defiantly dont suck the hole lick it instead.... I couldn't help it I dont know what come over me lol
If you were planing almost all of the time, and the board is more litres than your weight so it doesn't sink much, I doubt much water washed over the deck.
Maybe 100 - 200ml in the bung'ole - a good ding and then sailing back to shore will do that much (or worse) so I think all is not lost.
Wick it like Sue said, make sure the wick is in contact with the styro core. I reckon the thick string used on old-school mop heads is ideal. Stick a hair dryer blowing on the wick for a couple of hrs in the evening if it is humid and cool
easy in three steps
step 1: cut board in half. make sure you cut around the whole
step 2: use a blow dryer to dry out any moisture
step 3: use super glue put the board back together
done...
Ask drj about vapour pressure and then consult a chemistry textbook, cause you'll have learnt nothing..
I've tried everything except spinning the board. I'm inclined to bet that spinning is the answer.. I base this opinion from having dissected a waterlogged board, trying to find the water!
Put a wet sponge in a plastic bag, then try and dry the sponge without removing it from the bag... Tqhere is no easy way.

Oh great,. 15 answers to the topic. Got to be some intelligent well considered advice in that lot. Jeez, what was I thinking???
Anyway, dug around in the garage and found some hose fittings, a pressure gauge, and a hand operated wine bottle vaccuum pump. I plan to put a light vaccuum on the board, and then let it refill with dehumidified air from a small super airconditioned room.
Board lady says to drill a hole in each end of the board, and pass air through the board non-stop for several weeks with a fish tank air pump. I'll give that a go in April if plan 'A' does not work out.

All the misinformation you require is in the link above.
Still brings a tear to my eye.
actually, on second thoughts you board is now worthless. Buy a new one. I'll take the water logged on of your hands.
I had a board that constantly leaked water in through the footstrap holes, used to sit in rafters of shed with a wick (mop threads) for a few weeks at a time and eventually 'most' of the water came out. Funnily enough it was my favourite board even though it soaked about 1-2lts of water each sesh.
I ended up giving it to a guy that wanted to cut it up for the foam (for a canoe out-rigger...or something?) Anyways, I saw him last week and asked him "how rotten was the foam when he cut it up?" His answer - the foam was perfect, with the exception of around the footstrap holes where I had obviously made some repairs with foam & fibreglass...his comment - "I reckon you could've got many more years out of it if you just fixed the screw holes."
Wick it & weigh it - don't stress, it will be ok.
I had actually inserted a paper towel into the bung hole last night and laid the board facing down. I only just checked it now. The paper towel is soaking wet, and there is a puddle on the floor. Seems to be working a treat.
