NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that he was landing on a tidal beach in his tailwheel-equipped airplane. After touchdown, and during the landing rollout, the airplane veered to the right and the left main landing gear collapsed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and left elevator. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions that would have precluded normal operations. In the recommendation section of the NTSB Accident/Incident Reporting Form 6120.1, the pilot stated that the accident may have been prevented if he had been more proficient in tailwheel-equipped airplanes.
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing rollout, which resulted in a ground loop.

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
