A Santa Monica Mountains site near Mulholland Hwy overlooking Calabasas, flown by Malibu-area pilots on the onshore sea breeze. Large grassy launch and landing fields, but thermals can get strong, so midday can be punchy - an intermediate site. Avoid Santa Ana (offshore NE/E) days, which make it rotor-prone and unflyable. Confirm access and the current wind window with the local Malibu pilots.
