I think this is key. A friend of mine once received a ticket from a water police officer for standing in his powerboat boat while it was underway. It was a hefty fine. However, when we actually looked up the statute for what he was cited for violating, it read something to the effect of "pilot must operate the watercraft in the way in which it was designed and intended by the manufacturer." So, we pulled up the manufacturer's brochure of the the powerboat in question, which had a picture of someone standing while piloting the boat, arguing that clearly the manufacturer had intended for the pilot to stand while the boat was underway.
Case dismissed.
That being said, the HOA could then simply change the rules to make it clear you are in noncompliance.
