Probable cause
The failure of the pilot to obtain the proper airspeed during landing, which resulted in a hard landing and subsequent porpoise down the runway.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that on final approach he was too high and too fast for landing. He attempted to lose altitude too quickly, which increased his airspeed above the recommended landing airspeed. After touchdown the airplane porpoised down the runway breaking off the nose landing gear wheel. The airplane skidded off the runway, nosed down, and then back down on its main landing gear. No mechanical malfunctions were reported.
