Incident Summary
A pilot reported that while making a water landing, conditions were normal until after touchdown. As the aircraft decelerated and came off the step, the right float rose off the water, as if riding over a swell or encountering an object.
Sequence of Events
When the float contacted the water again, the right front wheel reportedly dug into the water. This caused the right wing tip to strike the water, and the aircraft pivoted 180 degrees before coming to a stop. As the pilot was exiting the aircraft, it overturned. The pilot noted that there were numerous boats in the area and that he had to sequence among them during the landing.
Additional Details
The pilot stated that everything was normal until after touchdown, and that the incident occurred during the deceleration phase following the water landing.
