The owner/builder/pilot of the homebuilt aircraft and a passenger (a foreign visitor) were on a local flight along a beach area. The purpose of the flight was for the visitor to take some video tape footage with the video camera that he took along. Witnesses, including a friend of the visitor, saw the aircraft flying slow at an altitude of aproximetaly 100ft AGL and 300yards from the beach. They reported that the aircraft was flying parallel to the shore line when it pulled up in what appeared to be the initiation of a climb. At about that time, the aircraft suddenly fell off on the right wing and rolled to an inverted, nose low attitude. Reportedly, the aircraft had rolled back to a wings level attitude, and was recovering from a dive, when it impacted in the water. Witnesses reported that the engine was operating at a high RPM (screaming) when the aircraft crashed in about a 45° nose down attitude. An exam of the wreckage revealed no preimpact failures.
