Incident Overview
A pilot was conducting a takeoff from a beach that was protected on the windward side by an earth berm. As the airplane became airborne, the left wing rose above the berm and was caught by a gust of wind, lifting abruptly. The sudden lift caused the airplane to be pushed over a nearby lake and descend. The main landing gear entered the water, and the airplane nosed over in the lake.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained damage to the wings and tail during the incident.
