WHILE ATTEMPTING A WATER LANDING, THE PILOT ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO CONTACT THE SURFACE AT TOO STEEP OF AN ATTITUDE. WHEN THE NOSE OF THE LEFT FLOAT HIT THE WATER, IT DUG IN, AND THEN POPPED BACK TO THE SURFACE. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE RIGHT WING IMPACTING THE WATER, AND THE AIRCRAFT COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP. DURING THIS SEQUENCE, THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.
