A castle, an island, or some other big object, was activated to go up from the water.

Tsunami is generally considered the correct term now. It's an uncommon word in either case, so the fact that academia, politicians and the media have started using "tsunami" gives it tremendous credibility. Moreover, there's a very good reason for the change: they aren't usually tidal at all.

I bet you don't say "pajamas" either, right?

thats not a tsunami, its teahupoo, a wave that forms off tahiti and is regarded as the heaviest wave

Actually tidal waves, as the name suggest, have to do with the tides, while tsunamis are caused instead by earthquakes making both phenomenon quite different.

>Teahupo'o (or 'Chopes as it is sometimes called) is a reef break. It is mainly left-breaking, but the outer reef also creates right breaks that surfers must be cautious of when paddling out. Teahupo'o is also renowned for the consistent number of "barrels" it delivers. It is a rewarding location and is widely regarded as being on the 'must-surf' list of every enthusiastic surfer. However, only experienced surfers in peak physical condition should attempt Teahupo'o; heavy waves combined with a shallow shoreline can result in serious injuries and even death in a wipeout.

real wave, found this:
"this spot is about a mile offshore...that is basically a fat open ocean swell that sudenly goes from real deep water to a barrier coral reef that is usually 2 feet under the surface at high tide and sits about a mile or more off the main island, (all of the French Polynesian islands have these protective outer reefs) so the ocean just literrally dumps or spills over onto these reefs, it is the edge of the natural reef passages that are surfed where the tides go in and out of the lagoons.
It is quite a scene to see in the safety of the lagoon waters inside the reefs."
also this:
"this wave works in a similar way to a tsunami wave, there is no "back" to the wave as such, just a huge expanse of sea...."
its just an unusual shot of a freaky wave that's apparently common someplace. Can't imagine why a photographer would risk his equipment on this though. Wonder how he did it.
Pretty old picture apparently.
