During a water takeoff run, the airplane became airborne, the right wing dipped, and the right float hit a wave. The airplane became airborne again, then rolled right, and flipped over. The takeoff was attempted under gusty wind and rough water conditions, with swells in excess of 3 feet. The pilot wrote that the indicated airspeed after becoming airborne was 'not good,' and that he probably should have waited for the wind and water conditions to improve.
Probable Cause: The pilot's decision to attempt a takeoff under gusty wind and rough water conditions.
