Would you want to do a controlled descent close to the water and then stall it into the water from a short height and maybe bleed off a couple extra knots or be in full control and not stall it? Just wondering.

Not a pilot (or even a flight sim player and I've never stayed at a holiday inn express) but I'd think that you'd want the tail to hit the water first and start dragging... if the nose hits first its too much like a car crash for me, if the gear hits first they could provide a rotation point to send the nose in. Logic says the tail hitting first (and at a low angle) will increase drag, slow speed, and not give a rotation point to send you azz over teakettle.
