The pilot set up for landing into the wind on a lake, and observed a Jet Ski about 1/4 mile from his intended landing site. After a complete stop landing, he saw the Jet Ski approaching from his left 'very rapidly.' He applied power for takeoff, and saw that the Jet Ski was about 40 yards from the airplane. He rotated, banked left, and the airplane stalled. He reduced power, and attempted to regain directional control with ailerons, the controls were unresponsive. The left wing struck the surface of the water.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane resulting in an inadvertent stall at too low an altitude to recover.
