I am sure the rumours are running wild since seeing their post on their Facebook account about leaving team Red and I'm sure they will release an offical statement in due course but in the mean time some fun with some rumours..
I reckon they are going to be paddling something orange in 2015
I'm thinking they will bring out their own range of boards..
Have five different sizes.. and they can call them..
The Jackson 5..

So a few years down the track we can expect the shortest Surf SUP to lop off it's nose in Vanguard/Tomo fashion, it's paint to gradually fade, and move towards the junior market?
Not the answer but a bit more info:- This is from the Seabreeze info section.
Paul and Angie Jackson, from starting their own little store called Roar Industries several years ago, to chasing down world titles in racing divisions during 2015. But now, they’ve both turned a corner in their stand up paddling careers, choosing to leave major sponsors of four years Fanatic.The Jacksons and Fanatic were kind of like DJ and Naish… You can’t have one without the other, but it’s not like Paul and Angie are the first big names to jump ship from long time sponsors! Soon the news will be nothing more than history, and whomever they choose as their new equipment partners will quickly become the norm.
“We both want to thank Fanatic for the time we have been with them as for us its been like a huge family and have been super excited to see it grow over the years in to the super strong brand it is today.” Said the couple on social media this week.
“It has been unreal to work behind the scenes and be a part of a great team in developing what we believe to be some of the worlds best boards in both surfing and racing, I know how much effort and energy these guys put in to development and know they will be at the front of our sport for many years to come.”
So who are they going to be paddling for? Well, right now, themselves! Details of the new sponsors are being kept quiet; but you can be sure of one of two things. Paul and Angie Jackson will be picked up (or have already been picked up by) a major sponsor like Starboard or Naish. Or, they’re going to be headlining their own company.The greats have done it, guys like Liard and Kalama; so why not Paul and Angie? We’re pretty excited to see what happens over the next few weeks, so if you want the most up to the minute information, keep your eyes peeled on the Seabreeze.com.au Stand Up Paddling forums.
So that's the call so far , Naish , Starboard or Bic.....

The smart money seems to be none of these 3 but as DJ suggested... The Jackson 5.
Goes to show you shouldn't leave your Facebook on a public computer without logging off!!! You cannot trust anyone
one of the best in the world developed and rides his own brand in Danny Ching and his 404 sup brand. seems to be doing pretty well for him..
If they are going out on their own CONGRATS I SAY that his a huge leap in faith in themselves and everyone loves someone who backs them self.
If going to be paddling for another brand i wonder if it is Lahui kai, This brand seems to have the money backing from the states and has just pinched annabel wouldn't it be a 6 star worlds best team if they got the names of jacko and ange on their team to go with annabel and the tech racing superstars of linc and kelly.
didn't mean to upset anyone starting this post I see last night it had a lot of red thumbs. happy to see that its turned to green now.
Is all just a bit of fun I am sure ange and Jacko think its a little fun and its only helping create the hype for the big announcement when they do make it which is what proffesionals need.
Two superstars of the sport who have done huge things for the sport and will continue to for many years I am sure.
I heard they are leaving the darkside and becoming loggers.
Loggers?
