This does come to the surprise of many people that Orca are in the fact the largest of the Dolphin family. However, if you do in fact spend time with them in the wild you do begin to see a few behaviour familiarities.
They do love to play! They socialize and jump around one another and when a large ship passes that has a decent size wake - then you can bet they are going to surf it and play around whilst the opportunity is there.

The name killer whale was from the Spanish who named them balena assassina - means whale assassin. I prefer the term "Ocean Panda"

Thomas, do you happen to record a video of Orcas behavior?
Some patterns you described should look magnificent being recorded in motion.
