i think the punx have their tips bent up most, and for pow skis im not sure.

most twins will be equal tip and tail height. i know the 07/08 jj's were 10 mm higher in the tail, and they marketed that pretty extensively. the only ski i can think of that has a difference is the 4frnt MSP which is a little bit flatter in the back

apparently, you can get tips and tails bent in hell.  It is called hell bents.  I, however, can bend my own tails, just like such on my bent-chronics:  [IMG]http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7285/img1432pqg.jpg[/IMG]

however, I think Movement takes the win with bentness tips and tails, with the bent flyswatter.  Bent-chetlers are bent too.
