Inspired by creative spirit, Volcom was founded in California in 1991 as a clothing company rooted in skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding, creating products for the persistent who are true to their passions.

During the "March Dumps of '91", Richard Woolcott and Tucker Hall set off on a snowboard trip that would forever change their lives. For more than a week, they awoke every morning with two new feet of snow. It was their first real experience riding powder, and the new obsession wouldn't stop there. Later that spring, the two came up with the idea of starting a riding company based around the three sports they enjoyed and the mantra of “Youth Against Establishment”. First came the name, then came the Stone, and Volcom was born.

Since then, the Volcom Stone has spread across the world. The company has matured, but the same philosophy that spawned the brand continues to fuel its art, music, films, athletes and clothing today.
