Narrative:
I embarked on a flight from sbn to 3BB. Upon landing I proceeded to apply brakes, only to feel no braking action. With standing water on the runway, I knew I was hydroplaning. To no avail, I clipped a furrough 15' passed the end of the runway collapsing the nose wheel. That is all. How embarrassing!
