They decided to start a sports company that would produce snowboarding, surf and skate wear.  The Volcom Clothing now has a vast range of clothing and has grown to include the Volcom Snow clothing and accessories range.  

Even though Volcom are considered a surf brand, they are really more of a urban streetwear clothes brand.  They use similar street art processes that street artists use.  This is why you often find that their t-shirts have graffiti designs that look like they have been sprayed straight on to the clothing using a can of paint.
