Not sure it's a point worth making personally, but I suspect they mean that you encounter bees by leaving the house, something almost everybody does daily. Deer if you drive outside a city. But you will only encounter a shark if you specifically enter the ocean and almost only if you go deeper than a foot or so of water.
I live in Australia where almost everyone lives near the coast, and we regularly swim at beaches where sharks are sighted. Shark-spotting planes, helicopters and drones are a daily thing through summer.

So, basically what any adult does when they go on the sea?
Though it seems sharks are especially attracted to surfboards , making the surfers a notable target.
What do you mean by that? I'm pretty sure that the swimmers/surfers that have been bitten by a shark were not actually looking for a shark. Swimming at the surface of the water unaware of exactly what's lurking in the water below them is the same thing to me as a hiker walking through the woods suddenly coming upon any wild animal.
