THE PILOT REPORTED HE HAD DONE A RECTANGULAR PATTERN TO DECIDE WHERE THE WIND WAS COMING FROM. IN THE PAST HE HAS LANDED MANY TIMES ON THE EAST/WEST RUNWAYS. DUE TO A 10-KNOT SOUTHERLY WIND, HE CHOSE THE SOUTH RUNWAY WHICH HE HASN?T LANDED ON BEFORE. THE PILOT STATED THE SOUTH RUNWAY IS SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER THAN THE E/W RUNWAYS IN WHICH HE WAS USED TO WHEN LANDING AT THIS PARTICULAR AIRSTRIP. HE STATED THE GRASS STRIP WAS WET AND THAT HE SLID OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED AND NO INJURIES REPORTED.
