Narrative:
During crosswind water landing instruction, my student lost control of the aircraft after touchdown causing damage to r-hand horizontal stabilizer and fairings covering leading edges of spreader bars. After landing we sat in the aircraft, talked about landing, then departed only to find elevator flutter. Found damage after landing in medford. What we have learned from this is that, after any landing that is out of the ordinary you should stop, get out on the floats and do an inspection before next landing.
