There is much happening along the ECR in Chennai this month. As the Chess Olympiad frenzy continues unabated, the seaside fishing town of Kovalam quietly decks up with surfing, music, fitness and food in mind as the popular Covelong Classic returns this weekend. The excitement has been palpable ever since the festival, with a loyal following since its inception in 2013 announced its line-up. It’s a delightful mix: as surfers from Sri Lanka and Maldives spar with local champions, indie music acts, alternate fitness workshops, obstacle courses and food stalls will set a festive backdrop by the curvaceous coastline that Kovalam is known for.
