Volcom Board Shorts

Similar to Straight Edge clothing, Volcom board shorts is a fashion line dedicated people that thumb their nose at the "establishment".

Volcom is the physical manifestation of the creative vision of friends Richard Woolcott and Tucker Hall. Born out of a 1991 snow boarding trip, Woolcott and Hall decided that they wanted to launch a clothing company that embodied the concept of "youth against the establishment". While the full culmination of that philosophy might still be a work in progress, the highly tangible and very popular Volcom board shorts are ready to go.

Whether or not you agree with the personal philosophy of friends Richard Woolcott and Tucker Hall is marginal compared to the ever increasing demand for their clothing. If locating these shorts is your main purpose, it may be best to make your way to Volcolm.com. There, you'll readily find a myriad of board shorts, all of which are wildly patterned, colored and truly full of youthful spirit.

If Sid Vicious ever went swimming or surfing, it's quite possible that this would have been his preferred look. This board short has a red background, a black drawstring tie and a large grey and black "star" pattern.

The overall effect is an explosion of color and a seemingly high energy mix of Marlon Brando's male bravado and James Dean's cool disdain; the perfect look in which to rail against the system! Several colors are available here including army, red, shadow grey and white.

Talk about being cheeky! Jaws will drop if you show up in this pink (yes, pink) gingham patterned short. The pink here is so electric; it almost dares onlookers to comment. The pockets on the shorts are highlighted in black, zippered, and are designed to provide a "raw edge" (the pockets are slanted). All in all, there'll be no blending into the background in these board shorts!

When you were in high school, did you ever harbor an irrational anger towards the Student Union? Well, these board shorts look as if someone who did sat in on an SU meeting, took note of the preppy styles they were wearing and decided to re-fashion their clothing preferences in a way that would certainly warrant a demerit. This is another patterned short in a tricolor mix of grey, purple and white, and just for good measure, a dash of the color black.

If late 1970's punk and the Clash wasn't your cup of tea, don't despair! Those longing for the good old, excessive days of the 1980's, seemingly have a board short just for them. The Geo Mod 22 does justice to the 1980s by way of patterns, in this case large geometric shapes, and bright (really bright!) color. And if the hot pinks, blues and yellows don't take you back, the A-Ha-like cartoon video image most certainly will. Wearing your favorite pair of jelly shoes is optional!

If those decades are a wee bit before your time, take note of the Allover Mod. Truly, this is a style that the Fresh Prince of Bell Air would have been proud of. In what can only be described as an homage to graffiti or street art, the raucous riot of black, yellow and pink is reminiscent of the true power of color.

Volcom board shorts cannot be purchased through the Volcom site itself, but the company does make it easy for their customers to find their goods. The site features a button that says Buy Volcom Now. Once clicked, the customer is greeted with different categories in which they can shop, namely:

• Surf
• Skate
• Snow
• Girls

Once you make a selection, you are just literally one click away from the shorts you want to purchase.

Volcom may not be for everyone, but if you like your clothes to make a statement and you have a god sense of humor, this is a terrific fashion line to investigate. However, it's worth noting that this fashion line doesn't come cheap (think $36.00 to $46.00), but if you have the budget and love dancing on the edge of the fashion line, these may be the board shorts for you.
