According to the pilot, he was landing a float-equipped airplane in gusty, tailwind conditions on a remote river. After touching down on the water, the airplane bounced, and a gust of wind turned the tail of the airplane about 45° to the left. The airplane then impacted the riverbank, continued onto the shore, and struck trees, which resulted in substantial damage to the airplane.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing in gusting wind conditions.
