Your best answer is always a hot wax job.  It's very easy to do, you just need a tuning kit an iron and a block of wax. A 133g block will last for several waxings.   All of these items can be purchased from a snowboard or ski shop, or available online.  You can even get an old clothes iron from a thrift store, as long as it heats up, it will work fine.  Rub on waxes are designed for quick touch-ups between runs, and will wear off quickly.  Check this link out for waxing your board.  http://www.demonsnow.com/tune.html
