On final approach for landing, the wind blew the aircraft off of runway centerline alignment and the pilot initiated a go-around from 20 - 25 feet agl. After initiating the go-around, the wind blew the aircraft further to the side, and the aircraft kept descending until it contacted the ground in the dirt off the runway. The nose wheel dug into the dirt and the aircraft came to rest about 100 yards off the runway about midfield. The pilot reported he had stalled the aircraft during the attempted go-around and there were no mechanical malfunctions with the aircraft. A special weather observation taken at the time of the accident reported a 70-degree crosswind at 10 knots.
Probable Cause: The failure of the pilot-in-command to maintain proper airspeed during the aborted landing go-around which resulted in a stall/mush and impact with terrain.
