During the approach to the gravel bar, the pilot misjudged his descent path to the touchdown zone, resulting in the main wheels contacting the water and soft sand just short of the gravel bar. The airplane's rudder was substantially damaged as a result of the aircraft nosing over and coming to rest in an inverted position.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain a proper glide path on final approach to landing resulting in a nose over. A factor was the loose gravel/sandy condition.
