What are the measurement/ dimension changes that have been made to the JJs since 2006? Are the 2006 double cambers like the later models?

The JJ changes in 2008/2009. Prior to the start of the 2008 season the ski changed names from JP vs Julien to JJ (which is an acronym). The ski itself is what actually changed though. The old ski was noticeably softer flexing than the new model. But the biggest change was in its shape. The old model was a regular sidecut ski with regular camber..and lots of it. The old models dimensions were: 126-103-116. The new model is regular camber underfoot, but tapered tip and tail to give it the effect of reverse sidecut while in powder. The new model is also rockered in the tip and tail, and is much fatter at: 126/ 136/115/133/121 The difference between the 2006 model and the 2008+ models is HUGE..The skis are not the same really at all.
