The instructor pilot reported that he'd asked the pilot receiving instruction to perform a short field takeoff. During the takeoff, the pilot raised the airplane's nose early obstructing both pilots' view over the nose and the airplane drifted to the left. The airplane exited the left side of the runway onto wet, soft ground, nosed down striking the propeller, and then ground looped coming to a stop about 150o from the takeoff direction. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing. The instructor pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during takeoff and the instructor pilot's inadequate supervision of the pilot's takeoff.
