Default DHC-2 Beaver bites the dust - float plane question

he did not go off the road..
he missed the canal
he pulled it off before it really wanted to fly
right side up first, more drag on the left turned him towards the bank
he stalled it onto the grass

I'm hoping someone that knows something about float aircraft can explain
why this guy went off the road.

The video:

The only print article I found has a goofy explanation/excuse about a
gust.
You can see the windsock at 41 seconds in the video.

I just don't understand why he lost control of the aircraft.
