Background
The pilot reported that he had just changed the airplane's main landing gear configuration from wheels to floats. The takeoff was planned from a creek that entered a large lake, heading west.
Takeoff and Initial Climb
As the pilot began the takeoff run, he estimated the wind was from the northwest at 10 to 12 knots. Shortly after becoming airborne, a gust of wind—estimated at 30 knots or more—caused the right wing to lift. This action turned the airplane toward trees that lined the creek bank.
Loss of Control and Collision
The pilot was able to level the airplane's wings, but he could not turn away from the trees. Subsequently, the airplane collided with the trees and a small boat that rested in front of a lakeside home.
