Taxing after landing. During after landing taxi; while attempting to turn right on to a taxiway a wind gust lifted my right wing and caused the plane to plant its left wing tip on the ground and make a 180 degree turn damaging the left wing and the propeller. Winds were reported as 190 at 22 gusting 32. Every attempt was made to taxi with proper aileron correction and to maintain speed at or below a brisk walk. I immediately turned off the engine and requested assistance from them ground controller. Airport personnel and fire department officials assisted in holding the wings down and walk it into the FBO.
Light Sport Aircraft pilot reported that a gust of wind during taxi resulted in a loss of control and damage to the aircraft.
