Narrative:
While making a water landing in a ten knot 90 degree crosswind, the dual student allowed the aircraft to touch down in about a ten degree crab, and the aircraft bounced hard from right to left. The flight instructor (CFI) took remedial action, but was unable to keep the aircraft from bouncing hard enough to cause damage to the horizontal stabilizer.

Probable Cause: the dual student's improper touchdown, and the instructor's delayed remedial action. The crosswind was a related factor.
