Re: Canon Big White Conundrum - 200-400 vs 400 f2.8 IS II vs 500 f4 IS II

These are all excellent suggestions (since I am in a  very similar conundrum)

What would you suggest between those choices (and the 600mm that may be too heavy and big) for kitesurfing photography from the beach?

I believe I would need the reach

I wonder whether the flexibility of the zoom is a must (hence the 200-400)

Although the 400mm f2.8 IS II seems to be the go to lens for sports, I tend to shoot kitesurfing in decent lighting environments (outdoors and where I go, normally with sun, otherwise there isn't enough wind for kitesurfing)

I have a 5D mark iv

Thanks for your suggestions!
