Who are the founders of Hardriven?

In the world of volleyball, passion for the sport often extends beyond the boundaries of the playing field and extends into all aspects of life. It is precisely this passion that led Hardriven founders Steve Péloquin and Rudy Houle to meet on the beach, united by their shared love for this dynamic and exhilarating sport. Over the seasons and matches played together, a strong friendship developed between these two passionate players.

Yet it wasn't just volleyball that united them, but also a shared passion for fashion. During their many conversations after the matches, they realized that they shared a common dream: to create their own clothing brand. It was a dream that seemed distant at first, but over time it became more and more tangible.

And so, after another year of hard work and dedication, we come to the year 2024, the year their dream came true. This is the year of the launch of their company: Hardriven.
