Narrative:

I was flying with a banner when I saw 2 parasails in the ocean when I was heading southbound. I was at 600 feet keeping them on my right side; right after I passed abeam the first one I made a 180 degree turn to the right to come because I needed to be on time to drop the banner. Right after I landed I was communicated that my banner touched one of the parasails; nobody got hurt; the parasail has minor damage and they were able to land safely. I noticed that the parasails were flying a little bit higher than the usual in that day; I was flying at 600 feet the whole flight and keeping visual separation.
