1. A portable and modular board writing system, comprising:

  • a flexible panel having a first edge and a second edge, the flexible panel made from a material selected from the group consisting of a hardboard, a thermoplastic material and thermoset material;

    a smooth surface adapted for non-permanent writing on at least one side of the flexible panel;

    a first post secured to the first edge of the flexible panel;

    a second post secured to the second edge of the flexible panel, the first and second posts secured directly to the first and second edges of the flexible panel;

    a first foot oriented orthogonally to the first post and secured to an end of the first post; and

    a second foot oriented orthogonally to the second post and secured to an end of the second post,wherein an outer side of each of the first and second posts is adapted to engage with outer sides of a third post of an adjacent flexible panel, wherein the flexible panel and the adjacent flexible panel form a writing system having a variable curvature, the flexible panel and the adjacent flexible panel exerting a force resisting said variable curvature and tending to straighten out the flexible panel and the adjacent flexible panel, and wherein the first and second feet provide sufficient resistance to prevent movement of the feet due to curvature of the panels.
