Would a living thing be a living thing if it doesn't have one of the required characteristics of a living thing?
No. The characteristics of living things are: Movement, respiration, sense, growth, reproduction, energy and nutrition. You need to have all of them to be considered alive. e.g. A car moves, takes in air, uses energy and some have sensors that can sense their surroundings but you cannot say a car is alive.

Check the Wikipedia article on "Life"; a living being (or "life") is expected to have certain characteristics. The fact that something moves is not a requirement (plants generally don't move). Moving waves might have some characteristics of living beings (especially with some stretch of your imagination...) but certainly not all of them, not in a way that would be recognized by a serious biologist.
