Working as a busy GP, Georgie has an understanding that to balance day-to-day tasks with your passions, is all about give and take. Thanks to the easy set-up, inflatable paddle boarding involves very little kit so even with very little time,it is easy to get onto the water. So how does Georgie manage her own time while inspiring her kids to get out and soak-up the fresh air?
Georgie – “Paddling means absolutely being touch with the weather, the tides and the seasons.This awareness and involvement with nature brings so much joy to myself, my family and friends. SUPsurfing in–particular is also great as a busy mum because you don’t have to wait for perfect conditions. That said, somethings have togive. I spend very little time on clothes or make-up, only visit the hairdresser twice a year, and go for minimal effort cooking with variable results!!!
And for the kids, there is definitely balanceinvolved, and it’s easy to put kids off. They don’t always want to put on a wetsuit, and they don’t like to get cold or frightened. Keeping them keen means keeping expectations realistic and not feeling that you’ve failed if they don’t fancy joining you – having hot chocolates and ice creams at the ready afterwards helps.”
