About Volcom:
We were born to chase what we are true to.
It's not that we want to... WE HAVE TO.
We have a vision that turns obstacles into
opportunity.
A creative courage to tempt the impossible...
And embrace the strange.
Telling us to push further...
To try again.
Endlessly seeking elevation...
We are all connected by this same internal force.
Forever we chase that intoxicating moment when
our vision is realized...
The world around us goes quiet...
And for brief moments, we are more than alive.
