It's a Culture

Palet started the same way it's played: on the beach, with family.

Simon Abdel Karim has been playing and crafting palets for over 40 years. What began as making his own rackets turned into something bigger — a mission to bring the sport he loves to a new generation, without losing what made it special in the first place.

Today, Palet is run by Simon and his son Anthony. Two generations, one shared belief: the game deserves better than whatever piece of wood you can find. Every palet we make is handcrafted in Lebanon from premium, water-resistant plywood — built the way Simon always built them, just made for more people to play.

El Bahsa and El Bayda are named after two of Lebanon's most well-known beaches — places where this sport has been played for generations, long before anyone called it a sport. Mawje is the new wave: the same handcrafted standard, made for the next generation discovering palet for the first time.

This isn't just a product line. It's a culture that's been alive on Lebanese shores for decades, and we're just carrying it forward.
