Directional flex ski?

Is there a ski company out there creating skis with directional flex? For instance, softer in the fring, stiffer in the back, rocker camber rocker, twin tip but not symmetrical.

I love how stiff the 108 kartels are and can land big mountain hucks, but my knees get so sore. With the 107 line sir Francis bacon I have no knee pain, can whip them, but the tails flex out on large drops. Both are nice for hitting the park in the spring. There were no results when I did a google search for directional flex skis.
 
Literally every ski has directional flex and shape nowadays, I think Surface giver is only one with softer tail than tip, usually it is other way around
 
I had the same issue with my kartel 108s great charging ski for sure loved how damp they were but killed my knees.Sold them and am now on moment wildcats 108. They are good but I seem to always reach for my bacons from 2011 just for the lightness and playfulness. I am looking into jskis vacation or the hotshot seems to be like a bacon but narrower.
 
No that’s not true. It’s usually stiffer tail because people put their weight in the tail when they land or go over choppy stuff

That is what i said, surface giver is the only exception that i know of
 
Man this Give’r thing is correct. I thought for sure this wasn’t correct. I wrote the engineer and he said yes, it is in fact softer in tail but they switched the flex profile around this year between front of toe and behind heel so you don’t lose the tail on big landings.
