Richard Woolcott and Tucker Hall founded Volcom in 1991. With an initial $5000 investment from Richard's dad, the two started the process of building an empire. The Volcom idea would incorporate a major philosophy of the times, "youth against establishment". This energy was an enlightened state to support young creative thinking. Volcom was a family of people not willing to accept the suppression of the established ways. This was a time when snowboarding and skateboarding was looked down upon. The U.S. was in a recession, there were riots in LA and a Gulf War. Change was in the air. Nirvana and Pearl Jam expressed it the best.

For the first two years, Richard and Tucker traveled around the world on wild journeys with friends riding whatever they could. The business side of things was minimal. The headquarters were set up in Newport Beach California in Richard's bedroom and all sales were run out of tucker's bedroom in Huntington. The two knew nothing about how to make clothes- but that didn't matter. It was all about spirit and creativity. The Volcom Stone has spread slowly across the world. The Company has matured internally but continues to run off the same philosophy it started with. The Volcom thinking now flows through its art, music, films, athletes and clothing.

Volcom swimwear for women got its start in 2006 using the same philosophy and edgy design that has made the company so successful. The unique styles and sexy Brazilian cuts are things not commonly found in the surf industry. Vibrant colors, crazy prints, high quality fabrics and fashion forward styles set Volcom swimwear apart from the rest. This swimwear is for the rebellious, edgy and fashion conscious girl that doesn’t want to get lost in the sameness of the beach crowd.
