Abstract
We derive a quasilinear shallow water equation directly from the governing equations for gravity water waves within a certain regime for large-amplitude waves which has not been studied so far. Furthermore, we demonstrate local well-posedness of the corresponding Cauchy problem and finally discuss some aspects of the blowup behavior of solutions.
