noun - A whitewater feature of a river in which part of the current drops into a relatively deeper space in the river bed, moves back up toward the surface, and then recirculates upstream. Some holes are large enough that objects in them can be recirculated many times, making them very dangerous. River runners refer to these as "keepers." Smaller holes can be surfed in a kayak or even a raft, and are sometimes described as being "sticky."
"Dude, did you see the size of that hole? That thing was huge."
"Skull Hole is a keeper at this level, you should skirt it, especially if there's a dead cow in there."
"The second hole is pretty sticky, it might be good for surfing."
