Kovalam is not as famous like Varkala as a surfing destination since the waves here are not as high. But surfing as a sport is slowly picking up in Kovalam and that makes people who carve out a living by renting out surf boards, sun beds, umbrellas and the likes on the beach, happy.Boogile boards or body boards are becoming more popular with the tourists as they can be ridden prone (on the belly) or on the knees and doesnt require as much skill as surfing.Most of these vendors are people with health issues or physical disabilties and therefore unable to do other strenuous jobs other than this, which is quite stress free.Of course one has to stand in the sun from early morning till dusk in the hope of getting business.
