The pilot of the amphibian airplane reported that as he touched down on the water, "a gust of wind caught the right wing and lifted it very quickly." The left wing sponson (float) then "caught the water," and the airplane "pulled" around resulting in damage to the engine support, wings, and fuselage.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to adequately compensate for wind conditions while landing on the water which resulted in a water loop/swerve. A contributing factor was a wind gust.
