The 18-55mm is a great lens, I gave mine to my daughter when I gave her a K-30 body and purchased a used 18-135mm WR for myself as walk-around lens on my K-5. The 18-135mm is a bit better for having longer range in an equally compact, durable WR form.

Improved upper body strength pays off in improved abilities to bring a long lens to bear on a subject and to hold a stable position. The same is true for marksmanship. I noticed the payoff for myself while lugging around the 300mm f4 in December.
I wish I had taken up windsurfing when I lived near the ocean, it does look like fun. I took up SCUBA diving instead.
