If you're happy, you're successful.

Something like a hole would work better, but the only problem with it is getting the water back to the top. A 1-2 foot ledge with enough flow would be plenty, and make it a higher CFS through the same spot and it could turn into a wave. Almost like one of those machines you put in a pool to give you resistance, but on a larger scale, and with some vertical drop to make the feature retentive. www.endlesspools.com/endlesspool/index.html
