I am going to be building a 80mm water jet surfboard.

It’s not a good waterpump.
Little power and too many current.

Your jet design has many problems. The pitch of your impeller is too high. The flow straighteners are just “flat” fins, but they need to be bend too. Like this your efficency will be close to zero.
