Born and raised in Seaside and surfi ng local waters since he was a teen, owner Josh Gizdavich opened Cleanline
Surf Shop in 1980. Cleanline started out in a small space on First Avenue in Seaside that had originally housed his
Dad’s (Dr. Needham Ward) medical practice for years. Since then, Gizdavich added a second location in Cannon
Beach and the original Seaside location has since expanded when in 2010 he purchased and renovated the old
City Library on Highway 101. Josh is proud to offer his customers the ultimate surf shop experience in this new
state of the art water sports venue.

For 32 years, Video Horizons has been bringing affordable
entertainment to Clatsop County. From humble beginnings of just 600
VHS videotapes, the current library has grown to over 20,000 movies
and video games.
In the 80’s, video stores were plentiful. There were about ten video stores in the Astoria-
Warrenton area when owner Neal Cummings opened his store in the old Taco Terrific
building across from McDonald’s. Then, in the 90’s, Blockbuster and Hollywood corporate
chains began taking over the video landscape, and independent video stores were put out of
business all around the country. Only a handful of independently-owned video stores
survived the onslaught. Moving across the street into the 6000-square foot Fisher Brothers
building, over 12 years ago, helped Video Horizons survive.

Now in 2016, the landscape has changed once again. the corporate behemoths have
toppled under their own weight. Netflix, Redbox and pay-per-view seem to be the people’s
choices for their movies. But the strength of Video Horizons remains...affordability,
selection and good customer service. Because Video Horizons provides so many copies of
the hits, the previously-viewed selection of DVD’s has grown tremendously.
The staff of Video Horizons would like to thank the good people of Clatsop County for
their support all these years. SUPPORT LOCALLY-OWNED BUSINESSES!
