it is called 'surfer"
For an experience surfer they generally ride along the curving/bowling face of the wave (known as the wall) from which they can perform numerous manoeuvres, while occasionally riding the bottom of the wave to pass a unmake-able section in the tube and even onto of the lip of the wave performing a 'floater'.For beginner surfers they usually ride the 'white-wash' (the broken wave) where it is easy to catch and normally longer that a unbroken wave breaking.
A wave hold down occurs when a surfer is submerged underwater by the force of a breaking wave. During a hold down, the surfer must remain calm and conserve oxygen while being pushed down by the wave's power until they can resurface safely. It can be a dangerous situation if the surfer is unable to reach the surface quickly or if they are held under for an extended period of time.
This is called a breaking wave also known as a breaker.

A high wave is called a "swell" when it is traveling across the ocean without breaking. If the swell gets steeper and eventually breaks, it is then called a "wave."
When a wave hits the shore, it is called breaking or crashing. This can lead to erosion of the coastline and deposition of sediment.
The length of time between breaking waves is called the wave period. It is typically measured in seconds and is an important characteristic in understanding wave behavior and forecasting ocean conditions.
A surfer would be more concerned about a wave's amplitude and frequency. Amplitude determines the size and power of the wave, impacting the ride experience. Frequency indicates how quickly waves are approaching, affecting the surfer's ability to catch and ride them effectively.
