Incident Overview
A pilot was practicing water landings on a lake. During one approach, the airplane began porpoising as a result of the wake created by a passing boat. The airplane subsequently landed hard, causing the windscreen to crack. Following the hard landing, the pilot decided to return to the home airport for a final landing.
Arrival and Landing at Airport
Upon reaching the airport, the pilot found that the nose gear doors would not open. In response, the pilot chose to land with only the main landing gear extended while keeping the nose gear retracted. After touchdown, as the airplane slowed down, the nose of the airplane came to rest on the runway surface.
Aftermath
The incident concluded with the airplane on the runway, its nose resting on the surface. No further details regarding injuries or damage were provided.
