The JS Industries Forget Me Not 3 Step Up is designed as a performance step-up board, offering more drive and hold in larger waves. Its outline has been slightly filled out in the nose compared to previous iterations, while the tail remains similar. The board is best suited for waves ranging from three to eight feet, excelling in more powerful conditions. Key features include a deeper concave and a refined foil, providing hold and liveliness. The rails have a noticeable tuck and a similar thickness to boards like the JS Monster, designed to bite into the face of the wave at speed. This board is ideal for surfers who typically ride a shorter board and want something to transition to when the waves get bigger and more powerful, effectively acting as a step-up alternative. It's noted to be a good all-around performer in bigger surf. A potential con is that it may be less versatile in smaller, weaker waves compared to its original shortboard counterpart. The recommendation is to go up in size from your standard shortboard model. Overall, the Forget Me Not 3 Step Up delivers reliable performance in mid-to-large surf.
