The 1,089-hour pilot reported that while on final approach to the west for a water landing, approximately treetop level, the airplane "flipped over to the left" to an inverted attitude. The pilot stated that after applying right rudder and right aileron, the airplane rolled upright just prior to impacting the water in a left low attitude. The pilot reported that at the time of the accident, the wind was gusty and from the north, approximately 15-20 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during final approach. A contributing factor was the gusty crosswind condition.
