Super Cub Flight to Portsmouth with Very Bad Landing

Consider subscribing to my channel --- Flew the SuperCub from Laconia (KLCI) to Portsmouth International Airport (KPSM), a.k.a. Pease airport. Flight was all going well until the landing in Portsmouth. Tower told me to land on RWY 16, though wind was at 290 @ 5Kts.

Due to the fact that I had not yet landed on such a long and wide runway (11,322' x 150') with the Cub / taildragger, I flared high, which led to a couple of bounces on the landing. On the second bounce, the rear right quartering wind caused the nose of the plane to weather-vane to the right. I then put too much left rudder in to counter the turn to the right, and then quickly found myself on a trajectory to go off the left side of the runway, and towards a sign. So, I gave it full power and took off again, just missing the runway sign.
