How it surfs
Wooly TV's review of the Forget Me Not 2 already placed it in the top tier of travel boards; the version 3 update is described by early reviewers as a genuine step forward on rocker and tail feel. The board makes multiple "best of" lists including Stab's Julian Wilson pick of the seven best surfboard models in the world.
Boardcave's aggregated reviews across the FMN family sit consistently in the 4.5+ range. The rounded pin variant is a cult favourite in Indonesia and Mexico — surfers with one board for a two-week trip pick this over almost anything else in the JS line.

Verdict
Across four independent retailer and editorial sources the Forget Me Not 3 averages one of the highest aggregate scores of any modern all-in-one groveler. It is the JS Industries board most commonly recommended when you can only bring one board on a trip.
