Analysis
Plt had delivered new float plane. Owner requested a demo flt as pilot at controls. Pilot in command permitted this despite knowledge that owner had no float plane experience. Takeoff and pattern circuit were normal. Landing flare appeared slightly nose low to PIC, but acceptable. On touchdown, owner failed to hold back pressure on elevator as floats 'dug in.' Acft pitched forward and nosed over.
