Everything started in March 1991, when Richard "Wooly" Woolcott and Tucker "T-Dawg" Hall, went on a snowboarding trip to Lake Tahoe, CA. For the very first time, Richard and Tucker experienced riding in fresh powder every day. In the spring after that trip they decided to start a clothing company that would embody the feelings and experiences related to that trip riding pow and to all the other riding sports they enjoyed. Volcom was born and now caters to the surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding communities, born out of the founders' own connections to these sports.
