Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot stated everything seemed normal on final approach, and it felt like he was going to touchdown very close to the approach end of the runway, so he added power. He said at best he can remember, the airplane was about 8 to 12 feet above the runway, and does not know if the winds at the water's edge caused him to make a hard landing are not. He said he landed hard on the nose, the nose gear collapsed, and the airplane skidded to a stop.
