How is it called the big weave?

[KaTe]

Hello! I would like to now if the big weaves, have a specific name that u (surfers) call it. I want it because we're looking for a name for the surfing shorts we produce (like quicksilver, reef, atc.)
If u have a better idea for a name, inform me.

Please!!! :)

Thanx! KaTe.

Tsunami actually comes from Japanese, it means "Port wave" or "Wave in a Port" (where you'd not normally get waves!) and they're caused by undersea earthquakes.

KaTe: Before you use the name, check it's not already someone's registered trade mark, eg googling on tsunami comes up with several versions which are already TM.

my terminology for a big wave is usually:

"Oh B*ll*cks - look at the size of this oommffwwhhuuurrrgrghhhh" and then I don't get any further as it's generally dumpng on my head.

not sure how catchy it is for a pair of shorts though.....
