What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Departed pamr for routine flight to Montague Island direct - cruise climb to approximately 6800' - crossed water, slow descent to 2000' to approach beach and ensure glide distance to land. Slow straight descent to beach landing parallel to ocean. Touched down in 3 point attitude. Tailwheel embedded in sand and was unable to maintain directional control due to tail tracking differently than mains and results in ground loop with light abrasion to right wing. Inspected aircraft and determined to be superficial. Departed beach for touch and gos. On first touch and go, flared significantly early causing stall 10-20' above beach surface. Hard impact on surface was unable to regain control, nosed over and became inverted. Significant damage to wings, struts, stabilizer, landing gear, wind screen. Pilot was picked up by good samaritan and flown to seward.
