Replying to 07/08 surface watch life tail flex

I have the watch lifes as the title describes and when skiing them I noticed that the tail is extremely stiff.  stiff as in its comparable to a 2x4.  this might have to do with the fact that I centermounted them and by thickness you can tell that they were not intended to be mounted center, making the thickest part of the ski behind the healpeice. 

Has anyone noticed this?  does it break in after a while?  I just like muh tail butta a lot.
