Probable cause

The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind conditions. A crosswind condition was a factor.

Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that while on final approach for landing, a crosswind condition existed. The pilot was making corrections for the wind, when 'the wind suddenly and quite abruptly stopped and my airspeed dropped...' The airplane descended in altitude and landed hard about 30 yards short of the runway. The landing gear sheared off and the wings sustained substantial damage.

Quoted verbatim from the NTSB record.
