The first boards used during the time of that era were not plastic. The were solid fiberglass and made in a mold. These were Zepher skateboards..
The plastic board of the late 70's were big box toys made for kids, and by that time most boards were made of pressed thin laters of wood "laminate". Exceptions to the rule were the slalom boards and some were foam decks with fiberglass outer skins like Turner skateboards, the honeycomb core decks like Kryptonics, and thin aluminum slalom boards by Sims/Powell.
In the early 70's there were a few thin fibreglass boards sold in surf shops like Bolt, Hooker , and fibreglass/wood composite decks by Fibreflex.
