Finished the report. First they started off with not enough speed additive for gusts. Seems like he flared too high and was then holding off for the smooth landing(as suggested by the report) resulting in them stalling above the runway and dropping it on. The power was added but so was enough up elevator in response that the aircraft hitched very high nose up and stalled again, this time landing hard enough to cause damage to the nosegear added to the wing strike. They went off the side of the runway and then initiated a go-around.
I suppose in the initial flare that was too high, they might have been able to save the day with some power added earlier(while struggling with the crosswind) but the Operations Manual does say to go-around if power is needed to save a landing.
Bottom line.....too much elevator during a high flare and/or bounce can result in a stall. You may have to operate the elevator in such a way to neither stall or be too nose down. And perhaps even more so in challenging conditions, be willing to go-around earlier.
