During the landing roll after traveling about 100 ft, the airplane encountered soft sand, nosed over, and came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the empennage. The pilot reported there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
