Tail wheel experience would have been pretty irrelevant here. The Turb is really light on the tail, a controlled ditching like this one is fairly bound to result in a nose over as the mains touch, no matter how low he got the tail. The drag from the mains alone would probably send the aircraft over.
I do the dunker regularly and once ditched a helicopter, the outcome is rarely as you would expect it to be. In my case escaping from an upturned aircraft in a pool of jet fuel.
Well done to this chap for the outcome, it could have been far worse either way, an old log book tells me I flew NZ in 1980, the Turb is still on my list for filling my perfect hangar.
