TSB reported that the privately operated Piper PA-18 Super Cub, registration C-GEUC, was departing from a 900 foot long beach on the west shore of Dillberry Lake, Alberta, with the pilot and one passenger on board. The direction of take-off was to the south. The aircraft became airborne after a longer-than-expected ground run and a left turn was immediately initiated to avoid high trees at the end of the beach. Subsiding air and tailwind conditions were encountered during the turn, and the right wing struck a post. The aircraft veered to the right and descended into brush, and the main gear collapsed. The pilot and passenger were uninjured; however, the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The surface wind at the beginning of the take-off area was estimated to be south-west at 5 knots; the wind above the trees was estimated to be west at 25 to 30 knots. The aircraft was fitted with vortex generators, 31 inch tundra tires, and large wing tips.
