Why do images of tsunamis show a surge of water and not a curling water?

Because while massive amounts of water are traveling across open ocean, they just accumulate because there is plenty of deep water beneath them, so they look like a big lump of water. A wave like a tsunami does not break (or "curl") until it hits shallow water right at the beach. Then there is not enough water underneath it to support it and the "lump" collapses.
