“He was the original artist, free surfer, big wave charger and all around best human ever.” – Volcom Staff photographer Tom Carey

Shawn “Barney” Barron, one of Santa Cruz’s finest, taken too soon. Innovative aerialist, big-wave charger, artist, unforgettable character, was an integral part of Volcom’s early days who helped push the brand and style of what Volcom represents. Rest in peace, Barney, we will miss you.
