Factual narrative

THE PLT OF THE FLOAT PLANE REPORTED THAT HE INITIATED HIS TAKEOFF FROM LAKE HOOD TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST WITH A 'CANAL OPTION.' HE STATED THAT DURING THE TAKEOFF, HE PULLED THE ACFT INTO THE AIR BEFORE REACHING THE CANAL, THEN STARTED A LEFT TURN TOWARD THE CANAL. AT ABOUT THAT TIME, THE ACFT SETTLED (REPORTEDLY, THE LEFT WING STALLED). SUBSEQUENTLY, THE LEFT WING, THEN THE RIGHT, HIT THE WATER & BOTH WERE DAMAGED. AT THAT TIME, THE PLT REDUCED THE POWER & WAS ABLE TO TAXI TO THE SHORE. THE WIND WAS REPORTED FROM 200 DEG AT 13 GUSTING 20 KTS. THE PLT INDICATED THAT HE ENCOUNTERED AN AREA OF CALM AIR AS HE LIFTED OFF. REPORTEDLY, THIS WAS AN AREA THAT WAS FREQUENTLY SHELTERED FROM SOUTHERLY WINDS.
