It rose to new heights in this country last year when American Scott Steele captured the Silver medal at the Los Angeles Olympics. The 1984 games saw the first appearance of windsurfing as an Olympic sport. Locally, the Windy City Wind­ surfing Championships culminates the first season that boardsailing has been allowed off Chicago beaches. The Chicago Park District opened two beaches in May -- Montrose and Rainbow -- as access points for sailors, giv­ ing the city's estimated 2,000 boardsailors an area to launch their boards without having to travel to lakes outside the city limits. With this new availability of windsurfing beaches right in the heart of Chicago, it is anticipated that the interest in windsurfing in Chicago will rapidly escalate as the Windy City catches up with other areas such as the Twin Cities where windsurfing has become a major recreational and competitor sport. Windsurfing; America's fastest growing water sport, is the focus of a two day event at Chicago's Oak Street Beach this Saturday and Sunday.
