According to the pilot, he performed several water touch and go landings on different lakes and elected to perform one more before going back to the destination airport. During the landing, the airplane banked to the right, the right float touched the water, and the airplane veered "sharply" to the right. It struck the bank of the lake resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage. The airplane came to rest on the bank and the pilot and passenger egressed without issue. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
