The final snap nose over does look like a stall - but I'm not sure I'd call it a touch and go; There was at least one prior bounce, and even the first bounce seemed to create some sparks from the nose gear.

Very noticable the tailwind from the spindrift and the speed with which the smoke cloud drifts away.
