How do you calculate the penalty for fis points?
FIS points are calculated based on 2 things. The first part is based on how far off the leader a competitor is (the winner gets 0 points for this part), in Giant Slalom approximately 7 points are added for every second off the leader one is, this number is slightly different in each event. The second part is an average of the current points of the top 5 competitors in the top 10. This is called the "penalty" and it is added to the "race points" mentioned in the first time. However there is no "penalty" in world cup races so the winner of a world cup event gets 0 points (less points is better). On the official FIS list a competitors points are their top 2 points finishes averaged out. This determines the competitors start position in their next race.
How much does a snowboard cost?
The answer to this question depends on a multifarious variety of factors; such as, what kind of skateboard -walmart or pro-, how often and how hard it is skated, what kind of tyhings are skated, whether it is left in a hot car or out in the rain.

Why was snowboarding invented?
To have fun. Foolish question.
There is no reason for the creation of the snowboard. An 8th grader back in the 50s created one in his shop class, and he started to make more and sell more. *It all started with the Snurfer in 1965, this guy sherman poppen created it for his daughter when she stood up on her sled. Snowboarding itself was influenced by surfing and skateboarding. Burton was one of the main brands in the beginning and is still the largest today. If you want more info just check out the wikipedia page for snowboarding and the snurfer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowboarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snurfer
The snurfer really started it all. this dude sherman poppen created it when his 11 year old daughter stood up on a sled. That's how it got started. It got big when kids/people wanted to rebel against skiing. You can find a lot of information online all you have to do is look for it.
The invention of the snowboard followed the inventions of the skateboard and surfboard. For obvious reasons (different trick possibilities than on skis, awesome feel to carving, etc... ) skaters and surfers wanted to board on snow. Its as simple as that.
What will happen if the snow temp is correct for the wax you have used on your board?
The board may become less slippery, and more traction. Therefore you will go much slower. Also if you use the wrong wax temp. the wax will not form right and also slow the board down. If you want a good waxing bring the board into the shop or get a iron with a thermometer. You can also use more expensive wax that has a set temperature on the bottle.
