The beginning of Volcom started from a dream and through the years it has become and artform and way of life!

During the March dumps of 1991 Volcom founders, Richard Woolcottand Tucker Hall set off on a snowboard trip that would forever change their lives. Tucker had just been laid off of work and jumped in the car on a routine Tahoe trip to visit Nathan Fletcher and Mark Gabriel. After riding four days of fresh, Richard called work with the excuse that they were snowed in and extended his stay. For more than a week, these stone masterminds awoke every morning with two new feet of snow. It was their first real experience riding powder and the new obsession wouldn't stop.

Two weeks later Richard quit his job to take some time off and snowboard. He and Tucker had also talked of starting a clothing company, which would later develop into Volcom Clothing. Later that spring, the two came up with the idea of starting a riding company based around the three sports they enjoyed. With an initial $5000 from Richard's dad, they started the process. First the name and then the stone. The stone was born.

The Volcom stone idea would incorporate a major philosophy of the times, "youth against establishment". This energy was an enlightened state to support young creative thinking. Volcom Clothing was a family of people not willing to accept the suppression of the established ways. Volcom Clothing started in a time when snowboarding and skateboarding was looked down on. The U.S. was in a recession, there were riots in LA and the Gulf War. Change was in the air. Nirvana and Pearl Jam expressed it the best. And the guys at Volcom loved to wear boardshorts.

For the first two years, Richard and Tucker traveled around the world on wild journeys with friends riding whatever they could. The Volcom business side of things was minimal. The headquarters were set up in Newport in Richard's bedroom and all sales were run out of tucker's bedroom in Huntington. The two knew nothing about how to make Volcom clothes but that didn't matter. It was all about the Volcom spirit and creativity. Volcom clothing sales for the first year were a mere $2600.

Volcom Clothing has rapidly spread throughout the world as a signature brand and a way of life. Art and style have been mixed beautifully to create this unique brand. Volcom clothing was inspired by the paintings and the artist Salvador Dali. Salvador's unique yet crazy way of canvas illustrations has provided Volcom with the hot, but not everyday design. Volcom clothing has developed the highest quality garments available and created a V-Science rating chart, which essentially is a 7-level rating system for waterproofing and breathability designed to match each garment's specific function intentions. Volcom Clothing has exploded throughout the clothing industry, which is why Volcom Clothing developed the Boardshorts thinking, which now flows through its art, music, films, athletes and clothing.
