A witness reported that the airplane had full flaps and was high on final approach. About 2/3 down the runway the pilot applied full power to reject the landing. The witness reported that the airplane pitched up and rolled left after the power was applied. The airplane's left wingtip struck the ground followed by the airplane doing a cartwheel maneuver. The pilot said the airplane was influenced by a gusty crosswind. The witness said the wind was from the southwest at 5 to 8 mph.
