When losing in a round of 96 becomes a great idea
Arch Whiteman spent his savings to compete in the Nias QS, scored a 2,83 total, and then made this video.
"Oportuncrisis," says Homer, when he is going through a serious problem, and his daughter Lisa explains to him that in Latin, crisis means opportunity.
Arch Whiteman must have watched the same episode of The Simpsons, because he lost after spending his savings and went off to make a really good surfing video.
More than sad about the result, he was happy about the pipes he got.
Which are shown in this video.
