Is the sailboard suitable for outdoor use?

Can I decorate or paint on the sailboard?

How do I store the sailboard for future use?
For best preservation, gently fold the easel flat and store the sailboard in its original packaging or lay it flat in a dry, cool place away from humidity and direct heat sources. Avoid leaning it, as this can cause warping.

Troubleshooting
Sailboard is unstable or tips over easily.
Ensure the cardboard easel on the back is fully extended and locked into place. Verify that the sailboard is placed on a completely flat, stable, and level surface. Avoid placing it in high-traffic areas or where it might be bumped.
The sailboard arrived with minor creases or bends.
Small creases are sometimes unavoidable with cardboard products. For minor bends, you can gently try to flatten them by placing a heavy, flat object over the affected area for a short period, ensuring even pressure. If the damage is significant upon arrival, contact the retailer.
Difficulty folding the easel back for storage.
Gently unlock the easel tabs from their extended position and carefully fold the easel flat against the main sailboard. Do not force it, as this can damage the cardboard.
Color fading or damage from sunlight.
This product is made of cardboard and colors can fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Always place the sailboard in an area with indirect light or in a shaded spot, especially if it's for extended display.
