VOLCOM

Volcom Origins

The idea behind the company began during a snowboard trip to Lake Tahoe in March of 1991. Friends Richard Woolcott and Tucker Hall spent a week in snowboarding heaven as new snow fell every day, creating perfect conditions. Their obsession with snowboarding began. They briefly discussed starting a clothing company, but it took until that spring for their idea to come to fruition. They decided to start a riding company based around their three favourite sports: surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding. With a loan from Woolcott's father, Volcom was born.
