## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

I WAS FLYING THE LAST LOAD OF THE DAY AND DECIDED TO DO A LOW PASS ACROSS OUR SWOOP POND. THEY HAVE MULTIPLE BUOYS IN THE POND AND MY RIGHT WING GOT TOO LOW AND IMPACTED A BUOY ON THE RIGHT LEADING EDGE. I BARELY FELT ANYTHING IN THE PLANE SO I ENTERED THE PATTERN AND LANDED ON RUNWAY 22 WITH NO ANOMALIES. UPON THE POST FLIGHT INSPECTION I NOTICED THE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER PICTURES OR STATEMENTS. THANKS AGAIN.
