Narrative:

All aircraft system operating normally. Set up what looked to be a normal landing. Upon touchdown on the water, the aircraft instantly rolled left and the left wing struck the water. The right (tip) wing was also dented and there was water in the navigation light on the right side. How the right wing became dented, I don't know, as the aircraft rolled left on touchdown. Engine was still operating, lowered water rudders and taxied to parking slip. No injuries in mishap.
