might work better if you cut down plastic boards.
of particular favourite are the small boards you can get during elections off of people's lawns

or your own lawn when you didn't consent.

Yep, use that cardboard as a template for some coroplast and you'll get a few more wet rides out of it.

you could get a corrugated plastic produce box from a grocery store dumpster and make one that would last a few months.

Clear packing tape would make that pretty waterproof. I'd write something snarky on it first.

I'm sure the tape won't keep all the moisture out.

wonder what happens when the plastic reinforced cardboard gets so waterlogged that it can't hold its own shape, collapses and gets eaten by your wheel...
