The ‘World of Volcom Stone’ is a free event which is taking place on the 5th October in Paris to celebrate the world premiere of the film ‘True To This’. A Volcom skateboarding team exhibition along with a performance by the Black Bananas and a D.I.Y workshop are just some of the other events also taking place.
Volcom was founded in 1991 by Richard ‘’Wooly’’ Woolcott in Orange Country, California. It was one of the first action sports brands that put surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding under one umbrella, brought together by their trademark Youth Against Establishment attitude. In 1993 Volcom released the film ‘Alive We Ride’, which highlights all of those elements together. This year – after 20 years – it returns with its new film titled ‘True To This’ which captures the energy and artistry of board riding in their purest forms.
