An apt demonstration of how not to do short field landing. The old misbelief that a low flat approach is better than a normal glide path at a slower speed to a shorter touchdown. IMHO this was so low & flat, with a high nose, that the pilot would have been straining to see the touchdown point once over the sea/beach boundary. 480m in a Cherokee? You could do touch & goes twice on that. It's a decent Par 5.
