THE PLT WAS ON HIS 1ST FLT IN 90 DAYS. HE STATED THAT WHILE ON AN APCH FOR A WATER LNDG, HE WAS FOCUSING ON THE BEACH TO GUAGE HIS DISTANCE FROM THE SHORE, WHEN THE FLOATPLANE HIT THE WATER BEFORE HE HAD EXPECTED. THE FLOATPLANE THEN BOUNCED HIGH & CONTACTED THE WATER AGAIN. ON THE 2ND TOUCHDOWN, THE RIGHT FLOAT BUCKLED, THEN THE PLANE NOSED OVER.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT DIVERTED HIS ATTENTION DURING THE LANDING, WHICH RESULTED IN AN IMPROPER FLARE & HARD LANDING. HIS LACK OF RECENT FLYING EXPERIENCE WAS A RELATED FACTOR.
